Darby Williamson scored nine, Jaycie Bobo five, Hillary Harper four, Molly Williamson and Keelie Wilkes two each and Ashley Priest one.

“The first-game adrenaline rush got to us tonight. We made too many mistakes on both ends of the floor,” said Crossville head coach Jon Peppers.

“I thought we gave a lazy effort on defense, which will cost us games against teams in our area.

“We must be able to carry over what we do in practice to the games in order for us to be successful.”
