Farmington, North County duke out girls’ hoops district title on KREI

(Bonne Terre) A couple of old rivals will collide for the Class 5 District 2 girls’ basketball championship when the Farmington Knights take on the North County Raiders Thursday on KREI.

North County is 18-3, thanks to senior Emily Veach, sophomore Paris Larkin and juniors Tyler Conkright and Kamryn Winch.

But Raiders head coach Joe Arnold is taking nothing for granted against their rivals from down the road.

A strong sophomore class lead by Jade Roth, Skylar Sweeney and Grace Duncan has powered Farmington to a 16-7 record.

But the Knights lost when they met North County on February 1st, and while the Raiders won a district title in 2018, it’s been a full decade since the last title for the black and gold.

Farmington faces North County for this season’s Class 5 District 2 championships Thursday evening with pregame coverage starting at 5:45 on AM 800 KREI.
