The second-seeded Dragons were back at it again Thursday in a semifinal against third-seeded Calhoun County.

Calhoun County is very proud of the Lady Devils
dynamic season, and enthusiastic team players
âWe knew they had two phenomenal guards that shoot the ball really well,â Cameron coach Holly Pettit said of the Red Devils. âOur game plan was to force them left and get a hand in their face. I couldnât have asked for better defense from my guards.â
Calhoun County (14-4) scored six or eight points in every quarter and its only lead was 2-0.
Red Devilsâ guard Josie Montgomery picked up four first-half fouls, which didnât help Calhoun as it tried to solve the Dragonsâ relentless defense.
âWe faltered a little bit,â Calhoun coach Kevin Boak said. âThat was the first time Iâd seen the pressure really get to us.â
â(Clutter) might be the most composed girl as a freshman that Iâve seen,â Boak said. âI was so impressed with her. She made a world of difference getting the ball up and down the floor and defensively, always being right there on us. She made it hard for us to get into our offense.â
