Both teams traded 10 points in the third period, leaving HHS facing a 28-22 deficit headed into the finale.

The Bulldogs, however, closed regulation with a 25-10 charge for to wrap up a season sweep. LCHS also defeated Hannan 80-51 in the season opener at home back on Dec. 9.

Brad Fannin led Hannan with seven points, followed by Ty Page, Tyler Jenkins and Kade McCoy with six markers apiece. Stephen Burns added three points to the losing cause, while Charles Mayes rounded out the scoring with one point. The Wildcats were 6-of-9 at the free throw line for 67 percent.
