The Lions used suffocating defense to create a 21-11 scoring advantage in the third quarter that turned a 24-21 halftime lead into a comfortable margin that they were able to hold on to.
The Bulldogs tried to stretch the game in the fourth and was able to cut it to a single digit deficit but the Lions proved too tough to give back their big lead.
Zae Davis would finish with 19 points to lead the Lions. Dylan Rowsey was big on the boards for the Lions, notching 12 points to go along with 13 rebounds.
