The Cameron girls basketball program got their season underway last week. The ladies will be playing in numerous non-district contests and tournaments over the next several weeks in preparation for the start of 20-3A league action.
Cameron played their first regular season game on the road at Gatesville on Saturday. It was a rough go of it for the ladies in their first outing, falling 72-21. Leading scorers were Qua Workman with eight points and Terryn Adams with five. The JV also fell, 55-7.
The ladies played their home opener on Tuesday from Yoe Gym against the Holland Lady Hornets. Cameron fell behind after the first period, 16-5, but managed to stay competitive throughout the rest of the night in a 42-29 loss.
Early on, Cameron had more turnovers than points scored. That all changed in the second as Workman went on a tear, scoring eight points, including one three-point bucket. Adams also had four points in the second to help close the gap to 27-18 at the half.
The third ended with the same nine-point deficit at 34-25. Lauren Leftwich hit the big three in the period for Cameron. The ladies could only muster four points down the stretch.
