The South Point Lady Pointers reached their first goal of the season as they clinched at least a share of the Ohio Valley Conference championship with a 69-28 win over the Rock Hill Redwomen on Saturday.

“It’s always your first goal of the year. When we first started, we just wanted to build the program and we’ve done that. We didn’t want to win one season here and one season there,” said Lady Pointers’ coach Dave Adams.
