Finally, it was time for the championship game against the Bulldogs of Freeport, Florida. The Lady Cyclones came out of the gate running, outscoring the Bulldogs 22-14 in the first quarter and increasing that advantage to 37-25 at the break. Elizabethton never looked back, going on to win in dominating fashion, 77-46.
