After a thrilling undefeated run in conference play, the Lady Bears closed their season after only two conference games. After a win against Mountain Grove, the March 2 semifinals game against Forsyth ended in a loss of 61 to 53. The Lady Bears had not played Forsyth in regular season play.
“It was a rough game,” said Head Coach Judy Tilley, “We had a hard time hitting baskets, and [Forsyth] couldn’t miss.”
Fresh off the SCA title, the loss was a bit of a surprise to Bear fans.
“I think they thought we would play for the championship,” Coach Tilley said.
However, she says the Lady Bears still have a lot to be proud of this season.
“Winning the conference title is a pretty big deal. The SCA is one of the oldest conferences. It was a good year.”
The Lady Bears finished their season with a record of 20 and 6.
