KNOXVILLE, TN (WLAF) – Your Campbell County Cougars were looking to get back in the win column in the midst of a three game losing streak. The opponent for the Orange-and-Blue was the two win, one loss, South-Doyle Cherokees.

With 4:51 to go in the first quarter, Campbell led the Cherokees 7-4. However, the lead would not hold. South-Doyle proceeded to go on a 15-2 to run to end the first quarter.
