Four area high school basketball teams are in action tonight in Churdan when West Central Valley visits Churdan to face the Paton-Churdan teams on KG98 and streamed on www.raccoonvalleyradio.com in two non-conference games. The girls play at 6 p.m. followed by the boys’ contest. WCV girls are 2-3 and the boys are 1-4.

The P-C squads were postponed Friday vs. West Harrison by weather and the games were played on Saturday in Mondamin. The home team won the girls’ game by a final of 44-38 and the boys’ game 70-38. Both P-C teams are 0-4 heading into tonight’s contests.
