The Lady Devils brought a two game winning streak into Thomson and were eager to prove that they are one of the top teams in the Super Ten Region against the Bulldogs. Warren County used a quick and efficient press to jump out to a 9-2 lead in the first quarter.The Lady Devils extended their lead in the second quarter by again limiting the scoring of the Bulldogs. Thomson was held scoreless in the second period until 2:13 to go in the quarter. Warren County went to the locker room up by the score of 15-5.
The Bulldogs looked to be in danger of getting blown out in the third quarter as Warren County held Thomson scoreless and ended the period with a 21-5 lead. Thomson refused to quit, however, as the Lady Devils appeared to tire somewhat in the fourth period. The Bulldogs went on a scoring frenzy and narrowed the score to 24-21 with 3:00 left to play in the contest. 
Lady Devils head coach, Shontier Barnes, told her players, "If you want it, you have to go get it. Thomson is not going to give you anything."

The Bulldogs found their rhythm in the second period putting up 12 points to go to the locker room at the half up 17-7.

Leading scorer for Warren County for the second consecutive game was Rashawn Harris with 6 points.
