Not enough comeback for Eagles

Campbellsville High’s Eagles had a late rally, but could not fight back from a double-digit deficit and fell to Fort Knox at home in the first round of the Touchstone Energy Fifth Region All “A” Classic on Monday.
The Eagles (1-17) trailed by 15 (49-34) before a Mason Wethington three-pointer and two lay-ups by Damontez Smith around a Trey Henry basket made it 49-43 with 2:17 left.
However, the Eagles could get not closer than six and missed four of their final five free throws to thwart their come-back efforts.
Damontez Smith led Campbellsville with 19 points while Wethington totaled nine and Henry eight.
