You could easily argue that there is no better, more consistent coach in the tri-lakes than Ken Elfrink. Year in and year out his Lady Bulldogs are extremely competitive.
The 2019-2020 version was that and so much more. They won 20 or more games for the fourth consecutive year and claimed their Third straight District Title.
After falling to Hartville in the opening round of the State Playoffs in 2019, this version of the Lady Bulldogs were not going to be denied. They traveled to Carthage and took down College Heights Christian in the Sectionals. Three days later it was, up to Republic, and a 60-46 beatdown of Mansfield that sent these Ladies to the Final Four.
They ran into a tough Tipton team in the Semifinals that was played in a limited seating, Hammons Student Center and had the third place game cancelled, as this was the beginning of the Covid-19 challenges in the nation.
Although it may have not had the complete fairy tale ending… It was another great season for a special group of Young Ladies.
