The New Franklin Lady Bulldogs saw their season come to an end with a 61-18 loss to the Tipton Lady Cardinals in a Class 2 Sectional at Jefferson City High School. Tipton held a 13-3 lead at the end of one quarter. After a trio of New Franklin free throws cut into the deficit the Lady Cardinals quickly regained control.
