The game, played on the road at Warren County, started with a tightly contested first quarter. The Lady Pioneers came out strong, taking an early lead and finishing the quarter ahead at 14-11. White County struggled to find their rhythm initially.
The Warriorettes quickly regrouped, finding their groove and outscoring Warren County 14-2 in the quarter. The shift in momentum was led by Kenley Frazier who began to light up the scoreboard to help White County grab a solid 25-18 lead going into half time.
The third quarter maintained the intensity, and the Warriorettes continued to build on their lead. With strong contributions from various players, including Harper Broyles with 7 points and Taylor Hensley adding 8, White County increased their advantage to 37-24 by the end of the third quarter.
