In what was probably one of the best girls' games I've seen in years the Oak Ridge Wildcats pulled out a win over the Campbell County Lady Cougars 54-47.
The Knoxville News-Sentinal had it wrong saying the Wildcats trailed through three quarters. They were actually ahead 35-34 going into the fourth. Campbell County did regain the lead, however, at 45-44 as CCHS post-player Callie Cornett hit an inside bank off the glass. After four consecutive Oak Ridge points, two on a jumpshot by Stephanie Holbrook and two on Angela Phillips freethrows, the Lady Wildcats had regained their lead and led 48-45. Ashley Henegar, who earlier this season eclipsed the 1000-point barrier for CCHS, scored two of her 13 points inside on the Lady Cougars next possession, making the score 48-47, Oak Ridge. From there it was all Oak Ridge as they converted 6-of-6 from the free throw line (4-of-4 for Angela Phillips.) The win moves Oak Ridge to 25-1 on the season, while dropping Campbell County to 18-5.
Angela Phillips led all scorers with 18 points (12-of-13 free-throws). Seniors Ashley Henegar and Kristy Marlow led CCHS with 13 and 11 points, respectively.
