(HILLSBORO) A Class 4 District 3 boys semifinal affair hits the KJFF airwaves Tuesday night from Hillsboro High School as the Hillsboro Hawks take on Jefferson County rival Festus.

It’s win-or-go-home for these two teams as the Festus Tigers enter the ring as the 4-seed at 17-9 overall. It’s the 3rd time Festus and Hillsboro will square off this season with the Hawks taking the first two, 67-51 and 52-45.
