Fayetteville, N.C. The No. 7 Terry Sanford Bulldogs emerged victorious over the No. 6 E.E. Smith Golden Bulls by a 51-50 margin in a thrilling top-10 showdown on Tuesday night.
With the win, the Bulldogs locked up the regular season championship in the Patriot Athletic 3A/4A conference.
Amiah Savage hit a runner in the lane with four seconds left to score the decisive bucket for the visiting Bulldogs against her former team.
Savage’s field goal was necessary because the bulldogs let a 49-48 lead slip away when E.E. Smith’s Jada Priebe stole the ball while the Bulldogs were trying to dribble the clock out and scored at the other end to give her team an edge.
