DWMS falls in girls? final

No lead was safe during last Saturday night?s championship and consolation games at the Warren Lodge Christmas Tournament. All four of the teams who lost had leads of six or more points at one time in their respective games, Including the DeKalb West Lady Bulldogs.

The West girls led Van Buren County by as many as seven points in the girls? title game, but a second half offensive lull cost them in a 29-23 loss.

Nikki Bass scored all 14 of the Lady Bulldogs? points in the first half, as the team built a 14-7 lead late in the first period. Bass, however, was shut out in the second half, and the remainder of the squad managed only nine points.

Bass scored in double figures in all three of the Lady Bulldogs? games in the tournament, including their 37-28 win over Grundy County and their 46-34 decision over Cannon Eastside.
