GRAY — Daniel Boone High School hosted the Shooting Stars Benefit Jamboree on Thursday night, where the Cloudland Lady Highlanders, Hampton Lady Bulldogs, and Hampton Bulldogs all claimed victories. The event served as a benefit for flood victims in East Tennessee.
In this format, each “game” was a 20-minute, single-quarter affair, and getting ahead early proved to be a decisive tactic.
