Lyons, GA. – March 4, 2025 | Head Coach Jared Goodwin
———-
The Toombs County Bulldogs saw their incredible postseason run come to an end on Saturday, falling to No. 1-ranked Southwest Macon in the Final Four, 65-54. After reeling off seven straight wins to punch their ticket to the semifinals, the Bulldogs battled hard but came up just short against a talented Southwest squad.
Toombs came out strong, winning both of the first two quarters (16-14 and 14-10) to take a 30-24 lead into halftime. However, Southwest Macon responded after the break, taking control in the second half and outscoring Toombs 18-10 in the third and 23-14 in the fourth to seal the win.
Despite the loss, the Bulldogs fought until the end and capped off an impressive season, finishing 18-12 overall, earning back-to-back Final Four appearances, and claiming the Region Championship.
This team also says goodbye to three impactful seniors: Mike Polke, Maurice Oglesby, and Jaydan Mitchell. Their leadership and contributions on and off the court will be greatly missed, and we wish them nothing but success in the future.

- Mike Polke: 21 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists
