Johnson Central Edges Out Campbell Co. in Thriller

The Boys’ Sweet 16 opened yesterday and the best finish of the day came in the final game of the night. Campbell County was holding the ball to attempt the final shot when Johnson Central’s Braxton Blair came up with a huge steal and passed the ball off to Dalton Adkins.  Adkins hit a layup with just 4.6 seconds remaining. Campbell County’s De’Ondre Jackson put up a late final shot that got stuck on the rim.

Johnson Central edged out Campbell Co. 58-56. Kyle Gullett finished with 22 pts, 9 rebs. Corey Holbrook had 18 pts. for the Camels.
