Jenna Jordan cries after her Lady Hawks lost to McAdams in the Class 1A finals.
The Bulldogs (28-2) led 34-30 at halftime and then 58-48 heading into the final quarter before holding off a late Hawks charge.
Myrtle (21-16) pulled to within five points with four minutes left when McAdams' Marquita Phillips hit a 3-pointer. Seconds later, Gilmore got a steal and fed it to Phillips for an easy layup to extend the lead again.
Aspriona Gilbert scored 37 points for Myrtle, which won the Class 1A title in 2003.
