Lady Dogs fall to Vandebilt in Class 4A title game
HAMMOND – The Jennings Lady Bulldogs will have to wait at least one more year for another shot at a state title, as they fell in the Class 4A title game to the No. 1-seeded Vandebilt Catholic Lady Terriers 70-51 here Saturday night at the Southeastern Louisiana University Center. The last time Jennings won a state title was when they captured back-to-back Class 3A titles in 1988 and 1989.
Vandebilt quickly built an early lead in the first when they outscored Jennings 25-11. Vandebilt’s 6’5” center Theresa Plaisance led the Lady Terriers, as she put up a total of eight points in the opening frame. »
