The State Fair Lady Roadrunners have not played since a 60-54 win at Illinois Central on Dec. 8.
They are about to return to action, hosting Penn Valley at 2 p.m. Friday at the Fred E. Davis Multipurpose Center. That nearly four-week break between games doesn’t worry coach Kevin Bucher, who has had his team in the gym for two-a-days.
