The Chester Lady Jackets came out strong but trailed by 5 going into the half. A strong third quarter from the Chester girls propelled them into a 1-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Chester was able to gain a 5-point lead with about 20 seconds left thanks to some made free throws. Red Bud hit one final shot, but it was too late to make a comeback.
