Affton High School hosted its third-annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day celebration on Feb. 24. Past female athletes from Affton were recognized at a pre-game ceremony on the court; a varsity girls basketball game followed, in which Affton faced Jefferson County’s Seckman.
The score was 13-38 at halftime, with Seckman leading. Affton’s score in the the second half remained at 13, while Seckman ended the game with 72. Seckman is, however, in Missouri State High School Activities Association’s (MSHSAA) Class 6, while Affton is in Class 4.
