Saturday afternoon when the last buzzer rang, the Mount Pulaski Lady Toppers had done what no other Topper team has done -- made it to state finals -- and performed outstandingly.

It was a rough game, beginning to end. The Toppers played well, they played hard, they gave it their all.

 

Game time! The starters take the court at Redbird Arena Saturday afternoon.

Mount Pulaski senior Andrea Dickerson is stopped by Aquin's Sophie Brunner on the way to the basket.

Each and every Lady Topper tried to stop Freeport Aquin's 6-foot-1 senior Sophie Brunner in the championship game Saturday.

 

Everyone watches the ball drop through the net as senior Jessica Awe (not pictured) had just swished her record-making fourth 3 of the first quarter!

The fans are pleased with the Lady Toppers' first-quarter 14-7 lead.
