In the championship game of the Summerland Holiday Tournament, against the Renegades, the Lady Bobcats were unable to come up with a redeeming win and lost 42-27.
Through the entire game, turnovers were an issue and limited the girls' offensive production.

In the second quarter, the Lady Bobcats were held to only four points and fell behind, 24-14.
After the break, the Lady Cats came out sharp and were able to cut the Renegade lead down to two points, 24-22, but were unable keep up the momentum.Going into the fourth, CWC led 30-22.
The last quarter was a tough one, with offense coming slow and CWC increasing the lead to take the win and the holiday tournament championship title.
Coach Greg Appleby said, after the game, "CWC is too good of a team for us to commit 28 turnovers and expect to win. We have to work on making the simple plays simple and make the easy plays with better fundamentals."
