The North Decatur Lady Chargers win The MHC Crown by defeating The South Decatur Lady Cougars 39-35. In true fashion the North vs South rivalry did not disappoint. In an up and down game, the girls on both sides of the bench played their hearts out. Congrats to SD on a great season. The Lady Chargers once again were led by Hannah Gorrell who had a career day with 15 points including 3 three balls and 2-2 from the line. Following her was Kasey Barker with 10 points. Kelsey Haley added 8 with 2 triples. Madi Allen was 4-6 at the line finishing with 6 points. As a side note to the historic season….. what a privilege and honor it has been for me to be a part of this program. Thanks go out to all the parents, coaches, faculty, and staff of North Decatur. #CHARGERPRIDE
