The Bears stormed past Blue River by a final score of 40-8 in their first matchup in the afternoon. In the Championship vs. Eastern Hancock, the Lady Bears got off to a fast start and led the game 29-4 at halftime on their way to a final score of 38-11 to capture the MEC title once again. The ladies did a great job including all of their teammates.

Mila Morris added 6, Lucy Huston and Izzy McGrath had 4 each and Gracie McCreery contributed 2. All 12 players saw the floor and contributed to the win.
