The Winona Tigers finished off their clean sweep of Division 3-3A play with a pair of wins to finish out the regular season.
The Tigers took two double-digit wins last week as they beat Ruleville Central 53-37 and Amanda Elzy 70-50.
The Tigers are off this week because Division 3-3A is not holding a division tournament but using the regular-season results will stand for seeding in the Class 3A tournament that starts next week. The Tigers will host a first-round game on Tuesday.
