HIGGINBOTTOM By David Wheeler Special to the Journal BOONEVILLE – Quality rust. After a bit of a layoff, the Belmont Lady Cardinals might not have played to the standards of coach Chris Higginbottom, but they did move to a 61-25 victory Thursday over the Alcorn Central Lady Bears in semifinal action of the Division 1-3A Tournament. “We had a week layoff, so we were a little rusty,” Higginbottom said.
