LEBANON -- Mt. Juliet picked up two District 9AAA wins at Lebanon High's historic Campbell The girls game was over early as the Lady Bears (18-2) opened up a 10-0 lead and never looked back en route to a 70-32 victory -- snapping a seven game LHS winning steak.

Kelsey Yarbrough had 8, while Kristen Dedman and Abby Wright had six each for LHS -- now 11-8 on the season. The nightcap was a nip and tuck affair from the jump as Mt.

Juliet guard Caleb Chowbay (pictured, right) led all scorers with 29 -- including four 3-pointers while teammate C.J. McEwen added 10.
