Lady Bulldogs get huge win over ICC

GOODMAN — The Holmes Community College Lady Bulldogs trailed a good Itawamba Community College Lady Indian team for the majority of Thursday's game, but inside one minute to go, the Lady Bulldogs, with the backing of an electric crowd, took the lead on a Kierra Gilmore three-pointer at 60-59 and went on for the 61-59 win.

Louise Collins hit one of two free throws with 1.7 seconds left to make the score 61-59. ICC held a 37-23 lead at halftime. Collins led the Lady Bulldogs with 17, Kierra Gilmore had 12 and Dierra Gilmore had 10.

The win locked the Lady Bulldogs in both the MACJC State Tournament and Region XXIII Tournament. The State Tournament begins next week at Copiah-Lincoln Community College and the Lady Bulldogs, North No. 3, will play Jones County Junior College, South No. 2 at 1 p.m. on Monday. The Lady Bulldogs have one regular season game scheduled for tomorrow at Northwest at 3 p.m.

East Mississippi leads with North with a 9-3 record followed by ICC at 8-3. Northeast is 6-6 behind the Lady Bulldogs and Northwest is 5-6.
