The Mayfield Panthers beat the Gloversville Lady Dragons 42-25 bringing them into the championship game.

With both the Panthers and the Lady Eagles being in the championship game, a thing both teams haven’t been able to do for many years, the game was tense and a fight to the finish. Galway was down by 1 with less than a minute to go in the last quarter. Thankfully Chase was fouled and made her 2 foul shots, having Galway win only 50-49. Galway got first place and they all deserved it playing with their hearts. Top scorers were Chase with 25 points and Snyder with 11 points.
