Lady Gladiators begin district 1-0 after taking care of business against Itasca
Italy — The Italy Lady Gladiators (19-7, 1-0), with head coach Melissa Fullmer guiding her ladies, simply out weaponed the visiting Itasca Lady Wampus Cats in the district opener.

Senior Lady Gladiator Kortnei Johnson led the way with 29-points while Italy’s defense proved stifling to ensure the Lady Gladiators a 1-0 start in district play.
