Cougars at Bearden, Jellico vs. Rockwood- tip times Sat. 7pm – HVA 50 Lady Cougars 44

JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Two teams remain alive during the post season, the Campbell Cougars and Jellico Blue Devils. The Campbell Lady Cougars (21 & 9) season ended Friday night with a 50-44 opening round region game loss at home to Hardin Valley.

At Lindsay Gym, Jellico hosts Rockwood in round one of the region on Saturday. “I think it’s an advantage to host in the first round. Rockwood is improving and is always well coached. We expect a challenge on Saturday,” said Jellico Head Coach Mike Reynolds.

Also on Saturday, the Cougars open region action. Campbell plays Bearden, one of the top five teams in the state, on the Bulldogs homecourt. The Cougars 17 wins, so far, are the most in eight years when Campbell was 19 & 12 in 2016-2017. “We are just a few plays away from having 23 or 24 wins this season,” said Campbell Head Coach Ernie Clawson.

“We are very excited to get the opportunity to play in the regional tournament again, and we are confident that our team will go and compete on Saturday night. I’m so proud of this team and the drastic improvements that it made from last season.

It’s been decades since Campbell played Bearden on the ‘Dogs homecourt in a region game. “Their hard work and determination to improve and compete on a daily basis has been nothing short of remarkable, and it’s been fun to coach,” said Coach Clawson.

Bearden requests its Saturday game with the Cougars not be televised. It’ll be a radio only broadcast of the Cougars with the Voice of the Cougars, Josh Parker. Clayton Carroll will broadcast live updates of Jellico’s game during the Cougars game.
