Highlights: After holding a two-point lead at halftime, Stark went on a scoring drought in the third quarter and were outscored by Kennett 12-6. With Girardet in foul trouble, the Eagles took full advantage, pounding the ball down low.

Coach’s quote: “With such a young team and the loss of Emma Dobbins for most of the season with a foot injury, the team really came together the last few games of the season. After losing to Kennett by 31 a few weeks ago, the girls showed how well they can play. They are setting a high bar for themselves for next year. They certainly played with a lot of pride, but fell a few points short. Good luck to Kennett.” – John Stark’s Bruce Johnson

Records: Kennett 13-6; John Stark 11-8
