CAMDENTON — If or when it happens, long-time Chillicothe High School basketball Hornets head coach Tim Cool might not know how to react when he has his “full” roster to deploy.

LAWSON — Despite their typical stalwart defensive performance and a remarkable 15-rebounds effort by young center James Mathew, the Chillicothe High School basketball Hornets had their chance to spring an upset of top seed – and recent-seasons nemesis – Richmond in the championship game of the Lawson Invitational Tournament bounce away from them like so many of their shots Friday, Jan. 14.
Much as the Chillicothe High School basketball Lady Hornets’ claiming of the championship in the season-starting Savannah Invitational Tournament was - given the quality of the competition – surprising, although not shocking, their repeat laurels in last week’s Lawson Invitational were predictable, though not guaranteed.
