Sometimes the third time isn't a charm. After losing 78-69 and 72-53 in the regular season, Laney (25-5) had a chance to turn the tables on top-ranked Morgan County (26-3), but instead Pumpkin Brown and Tatyana Davis lifted the Lady Bulldogs to a 62-53 win after leading 26-25 at the half after a Brown three at the buzzer. Laney came out hot in the third quarter and led 36-32 with three minutes left. The Lady Wildcats led by De'Sha Benjamin held steady and carried a 42-38 lead into the fourth quarter. Halfway through the period Laney clung onto a 47-46 lead. With three minutes remaining the score was deadlocked. Morgan County surged ahead 55-51 with  2:07  to play and used a 7-2 run to seal Laney's fate. Brown scored 13 points while Davis poured in 23. Benjamin scored 20 in the loss.
