When the Lady Barons took the court in Eastman Saturday morning for the MGMSAA title game against Dodge County, they were less than a day removed from their double overtime win against West Laurens.

Despite a game effort against the Lady Warriors, the proverbial gas tank may've ran out for Bleckley in the fourth quarter.

Down 8-7 to begin the second, a Tia Troup basket gave BCMS a four-point lead. Though DCMS would regain the lead on a three, Bleckley was able to keep the advantage and led 23-17 as the teams went to the dressing room.

BC built a six-point lead in the third on a Myesha Moore basket. The Lady Warriors cut it to three on a three. Bleckley would not surrender the lead and was up 30-24 going into the fourth. Dodge used back to back threes to tie the score. BCMS would be held without a field goal in the quarter.

Dodge took a 34-32 lead with 2:43 left. Another three was part of an 8-1 closing run as the Lady Barons fell 42-33. They finish the year 15-5 and MGMSAA Region Runners-Up. Congratulations to the team and coaches on a great season.
