The Cornersville Lady Bulldogs came into the Richland Christmas Tournament riding a two game winning streak after starting the year 1-7 and losing several games on the final possession. The Lady Bulldogs took on a red-hot Frank Hughes (8-2) team Monday night and despite eventually falling 57-51, Cornersville once again proved that if it can put together a complete game the Bulldogs (3-7) can play with anyone in 1A.

Page (6-5) handed the Forrest Rockets their 10th straight loss on Monday afternoon when the Patriots defeated FHS 77-58 at the Eagleville Christmas Classic.
