POWELL, TN (WLAF) – On the 11th lead change of the first half, Campbell went back in front of Central and never trailed again. From 26 to 24, the Lady Cougars continued methodically building a lead that eventually swelled to 23 with less than five minutes to play as Campbell won 68-48.
Emma Brandenburg scored the first eight points for Campbell, and that was enough to convince the junior center that she could take over the game. Twenty points later, everyone was convinced.
For a game that was so close for the first two quarters, four ties and 11 lead changes, Campbell made quick work of Central in the final two frames. The Lady Cougars poured through 26 points in the final quarter, and aside from a short lived eleven-oh run by Central, Campbell won going away holding the Lady Bobcats scoreless the final three minutes.
‘Burg carried Campbell with a career high 28 points while Carley Kitts posted 22 for a combined 50 of the Lady Cougars total of 68. The other 18 points came from Bella Lester, nine, Saylor Hutcheson, five, Reagan Davis, three, and one from Reagan Stanfill.
Campbell’s season has been one of close losses and near misses. In fact, the Lady Cougars have not won back-to-back games until its current four game winning streak that carried from the regular season into the post season. Campbell has lost seven games by an average of four points, five of those games have been by three or less.
The top seeded Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats await Campbell in Thursday night’s (7:30) semi-final game of the District 3-AAAA Tournament. The win over Central vaulted the Lady Cougars into the Region 2 Tournament, and play the rest of the way in the district tourney will determine the seeding for the regionals.
