Dyersburg scored early and often as Micah McLin led the way for the Lady Trojans with a pair of three-pointers to help the Lady Trojans take a 14-3 lead after one quarter.

Northview was able to get its offense going more with a five-point frame by Montgomery. The Lady Trojans were able to stay well-ahead of Northview as TJ Jones led the way with six points. Dyersburg went into the break with a 28-12 advantage.

Dyersburg pulled away in the third frame as Khalia Reynolds scored five and Desleign Strayhorn added four to help the Lady Trojans take a 43-12 lead into the final frame.

From there, the Lady Trojans outscored Northview 9-2 to seal the win.

Reynolds, Strayhorn, and McLin each led Dyersburg with nine points in the win.

Montgomery paced Northview with five points in the loss.

Dyersburg will take on Trinity Christian Academy at 4:30 p.m. in the Terry Glover Gymnasium in the tournament championship game. Northview faces Bradford in the third-place game at 4:15 p.m. in the auxiliary gym.
