While Sycamore celebrated their first win at Cheatham County Central High School in six seasons on January 10, the Cubs came to Pleasant View with a vengeance on January 27. Tension and energy levels were high, as both teams and fanbases were out for the coveted rivalry win. By readjusting their defense since the last matchup, the Cubs were able to successfully shut down Sycamore's offense, earning them the 43-34 victory.
Junior Macie Harter led the evening as the game's top scorer, giving the Cubs 18; Harter also logged four rebounds, two steals, and an assist. Montana Lee, sophomore, put up nine points, five rebounds, and two assists; junior Ellie Pardue contributed seven points, eight rebounds, three steals, and an assist.
On the Sycamore side of the ball, junior Izzy McPherson was held to 13 points; she put up six rebounds, two steals, and an assist. Senior Kyra Shearon had eight points and three rebounds, and sophomore Anna Knight had four points, three rebounds, and three steals.

Junior Gaibri Allen put up seven points and two rebounds, and senior McKenleigh young added four points, five rebounds, one steal, and five assists.

Of Sycamore's 61 points, McPherson closed the day out with 17, one rebound, one block, and two steals. Freshman Violet Geldner put up 13 points and five rebounds, and senior Kyra Shearon contributed 12 points and three rebounds.
