The Lady Lions vs Haworth game begins at 6 pm and the Lions vs Haworth game begins at 7:30 pm. Haworth's gymnasium is brand new, and may or may not have internet available per a school official. Due to the OSSAA streaming fee requirements and uncertainty of connectivity, the game will not be streamed by Haworth or Howe. Just a reminder to our fans, OSSAA has exclusive rights to all playoff games, and no other video lives streams are allowed. We would like to encourage you all to make the drive to Haworth, and support our Howe Lady Lions and Lions! GO HOWE! #HPSLions
