It took three times, but Scott City's girls basketball team finally was able to play East Prairie at home Wednesday night.
The wait -- the game had been postponed twice since its originally scheduled date of Jan. 30 -- was worthwhile for the Rams, who picked up their second victory of the season 63-29.
Kelley Hicks led Scott City (2-17) with 22 points, including four 3-pointers. Becky Holder added 10 points for Scott City.
