Cornersville Lady Bulldogs Regional Runners Up
O n Wednesday, March 4, the Cornersville Lady Bulldogs competed against their same district rivals, the Richland Lady Raiders, in the regional tournament championship. It was a championship worthy game to be sure! The game was a back and forth competition from beginning to end. Both teams were suffocating on defense, which led to a low scoring game, but took nothing away from the excitement. Both teams were patient on offense as they methodically looked for the best way to break the other team›s defense and score. Foul trouble haunted the Lady Dawgs early as they put the Raiders on the line several times. Luckily, the Lady Raiders were a little off on the free throws for the night. At the end of the first half, the Dawgs were trailing by a score of 19-12.
