HOT TOPIC: It is time for girls basketball playoffs.
Tonight, Coach Emily Martinez will lead her Malakoff Lady Tigers into action against the Alba-Golden Lady Panthers, a team Malakoff scrimmaged at the start of the season.
The bi-district game is set for 7 p.m. at Brownsboro.
The Lady Tigers finished the regular season with a record of 15-12 overall and 10-4 in district.
This is the third consecutive year the Lady Tigers have earned a postseason berth, and Martinez hopes this is the year the girls can get their first playoff win.
“I think if our girls show up to play, we have a good chance,” Martinez said. “Alba is a good team and they play hard, but when our girls play together I think we are hard to beat.”
Henderson County Now will be at the game, so watch Facebook for updates.
Also in playoff action tonight is Mabank, which will be taking on Spring Hill. That game is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Grand Saline.

Today’s page reminds me of The Monitor’s sports section — a big headline on a featured story along with a big photo of something that has nothing to do with the story — I thought the Malakoff Lady Tiger Tigers were in the Team Roping playoffs or something…
Ron: The Daily Brief is pretty much what we call a “notes column,” a collection of topics and information from around the county. On occasion, I don’t have a photo for the part I’ve taken to calling the “Hot Topic” … when that happens, I get a photo that illustrates one of the other notes in the column … I’m sorry that you found this confusing.
