KNOXVILLE, TN (WLAF) – It was there for the taking. All night. But the Cougars could not hold its largest lead of seven in the fourth quarter as homestanding West held its breath while Campbell missed its last two shots. The Rebs, who own a district win over Oak Ridge, scored 14 of the last 19 points, in a game that had 12 ties and a dozen lead changes to win the 67-65 thriller.
West improves to 16 & 5 and 5 & 1 in the district as Oak Ridge looms Friday for the Rebels on Prudden Court. Campbell visits Powell on Thursday still looking for its first District 3 – AAAA win. The Cougars are 8 & 10, 0 & 6 with two of those losses coming to West.
John Long was tops for the game with 26 points while fellow senior David Adkins added 11. Gavin Cox added eight followed by five from Adama Sanogo and four from Devin Jones. Elijah McKinney provided a first half boost with a big three and so did Will Lester.
The Lady Cougars jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never looked back en-route to its 54-20 win over West. Two double-figure scorers, Carley Kitts and Bella Lester, carried Campbell with 10 points each. Saylor Hutchison tallied nine while Reagan Davis busted two big threes and Emma Brandenburg powered through three buckets as Davis and ‘Burg had six points a piece. Destiny Rutherford scored five, and Aleah Woodson totaled two. Lacy Pemberton continues recovering from a December ankle injury and scored her first points since returning from that injury with six.
Campbell is 9 & 12 with the win evening its district mark through six contests. West dips to 1 & 19 and oh and five in the district.
Next up in a run of six games in 11 days for Campbell is a Thursday night stop at Powell. The JV game tips at 4:30 followed by the Lady Cougars at 6:00 and Cougars-Panthers at 7:30pm.
