     The Chillicothe Lady Hornets used the free throw line to upset the Cameron Lady Dragons on the road 59-55. Technically it was Senior Night at Cameron, who have just two Seniors neither of which get very much playing time. Both started the game for the first few minutes before heading to the bench for the rest of the game. To honor the two seniors, the Cameron coach elected to let 5'2" Kelsey Mattox jump for the opening tip off against Chillicothe's 5'11" Senior Samantha McKiddy. She tipped it to Madison Williams who took two dribbles and laid the ball off the glass and through the hoop for the first Chillicothe points in the opening seconds.
     The game was intense and hotly contested with the lead never growing beyond single digits for either team. Cameron had a four point halftime lead but Chillicothe tied the game after three quarters.
     Chillicothe took the lead with under three minutes left in the game with a Maggie Graves basket. Free throws, and a steal and lay-up by Erin Gilliland gave Chillicothe a four point lead with 1:42 left. With 17 seconds left in the game a Cameron basket closed it to with in two points for third time.
      Following a Cameron time out, Chillicothe was called for traveling on the in-bounds play. Cameron had an uncontested low post shot from the left side from point guard Melia Richardson and with 5 seconds left, Post player Taylor Hamilton missed from the right side low post. A Chillicothe rebound and Cameron foul put Maggie Graves at the line with 3.1 seconds left. Graves hit both free throws to secure the win for Chillicothe. The Lady Hornets went 8 of 10 from the free throw line in the fourth quarter.
