HARDIN – Being a .500 team remains within reach for Hardin-Central in varsity girls basketball. Following a 60-38 Carroll-Livingston Activities Association loss Tuesday night to visiting Higbee, the Bulldogs were 6-7 overall entering Friday’s nonconference meeting with visiting Concordia. The defeat followed a 47-19 CLAA victory Jan. 14 on the road against Hale/Bosworth. The girls kicked off a four-game homestand Tuesday. After Concordia, they are slated to host Breckenridge on Jan. 25 and Braymer on Jan. 26.
