In the second quarter, that featured a scuffle between the two teams, Halls outscored Campbell 16-8, to lead 30-21 at the half. A stat that stuck out was the difference from the free throw line. Halls went 8 of 14 from the charity stripe while the Cougars were 0 of 2 in the first half.
The lead remained the same for the Red Devils through three quarters. Halls was ahead of Campbell County 48-39 after three.
