Freshman post player Lacy Thomas had a big game for Callaway with 18 points, and she pulled down 23 rebounds.

Thomas, who helped Callaway Middle School enjoy an unbeaten season as an eighth-grader, scored four points in her debut game against Northside before breaking out against Jordan.

Gabrielle Johnson, a play-making junior guard, added 15 points.

Johnson, Callaway’s leading returning scorer, led the team with 16 points against Northside.

Another freshman, Jazmine Thornton, added 10 points against Jordan, and Kristal Stephens and TaKayla Tucker had seven points apiece.

Callaway’s short-handed boys’ team fell to 0-2 with a 67-52 loss to Jordan.
