CHICO – The Butte Valley Lady Bulldogs captured the NSCIF D-VI Crown on Friday afternoon at Chico State’s Acker Gym. It wasn’t easy.

After winning its first 22 games of the season in dominating fashion, second-seeded Butte Valley faced the top-seeded Hayfork Lady Timberjacks for the championship. The contest went back and forth for most of the first quarter and a half, with the teams exchanging leads four times. However, trailing 16-13, Hayfork went on an 11-0 run to close out the half and headed to the locker room with a 24-16 lead. The Lady Jacks seemed to be in total control.

For the Lady Bulldogs, the wheels hadn’t quite come off, but it appeared that the lug nuts were lose and the rims were rattling. As it turned out, that wasn’t the case. (more…)
