In the first game of twin bill Thursday night at the Shelton Gymnasium in Lewisburg, the LMS Tigerettes escaped with a wild 27-26 win over the EA Cox Lady Cougars. In the first half, both teams did not score many points as they shook off some holiday rust. Israel Hurt, who led all scorers in the contest with 13 points, scored the first three points of the game on a free throw and a bucket in the low post, but that would be all the scoring in the first quarter for the Tigerettes.

It was the Cameron Johnson show at Lewisburg Thursday night as the EA Cox standout poured in 23 points for the Cougars, who won going away over Lewisburg Middle School 43-29. Johnson banged in five 3-pointers in the contest, including three treys and 13 points in the big 19-point decisive third quarter for the Cougars. Lewisburg held the lead twice early in the game at 4-2 on a Devontae Davis steal and score and then after the Cougars tied the game, Lamarion Price nailed a 3-pointer for the Tigers, making it 7-4.
