It was twice as nice for the Princeton Logan girls basketball teams.

Logan captured both the seventh- and eighth-grade championships Thursday night at Mendota Northbrook.

The seventh-grade Lions, the No. 1 seed, defeated No. 3 Ottawa Sherpherd, 19-13.

In the eighth-grade championship, No. 3 Logan topped No. 1 Bureau Valley, 42-36. It was a repeat SRC championship for the Logan eighth-grade class, which also won at the seventh-grade level last year.

The last Logan class to win back-to-back SRC titles was the eighth-grade class of 2022, now sophomores at PHS.

In the third-place games, No. 2 Bureau Valley beat No. 4 Peru in the seventh grade while No. 2 Ottawa topped No. 4 Peru in the eighth grade.
