Lynn Camp\u2019s Micah Engle entered Saturday\u2019s game as one of the top scorers in the state, and for good reason \u2014 he can flat out play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engle did all he could to keep Lynn Camp in its 51st District matchup with Pineville, scoring a game-high 45 points, but it wasn\u2019t enough as the Mountain Lions pulled out an 81-73 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat’s a tough one to digest you come up short on the road by eight, and we missed 13 free throws,\u201d Lynn Camp coach Rodney Clarke said. \u201cOutside of that, we have to do a better job of putting teams away. We got ahead and got away from doing the things that worked for us. We have to be better defensively. Once we do that, our results will be better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Engle was on fire the entire game, hitting six 3-pointers, while scoring 20 points in the first half before adding 25 more points during the game\u2019s final 16 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But just as clutch as he was, both Ashton Moser, and Sawyer Thompson were, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pineville (12-7 overall, 2-1 vs. 51st District competition) duo scored 27 points apiece while Sam Caldwell added seven points, and Evan Biliter finished with six points in the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lynn Camp (4-16, 0-3) held a 20-16 lead in the first quarter behind Engle\u2019s 12 points but trailed 38-36 at halftime as the Mountain Lions\u2019 Moser scored 12 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thompson added nine points in the third quarter to push Pineville\u2019s lead to 57-51 entering the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mountain Lions did just enough in the fourth quarter to pull out the win, outscoring the Wildcats, 24-22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
