The Tornadoes were led by Brandon Bible Country Financial Player of the game Senior Olivia "Lulu" Woodward who dropped 11 points and was phenomenal on defense, rebounds, and assists. Junior Addison Tarr led the Tornado scoring efforts with 22 points. Mazie Fleming had 9 points and 2 blocks. Kyleigh Heimsness finished with 8 points plus a few steals. Grace Rogers, Hallie Lowis, and Aubrey Kietzman contributed to the scoring effort as well including a 24-13 3rd quarter.
