Day three of the 38th Hugh Campbell Invitational featured the debut of defending champions, the first appearance for Family Island teams and also the first elimination of this year’s event.

Fresh off of their gruelling three game GSSSA triumph over the CI Gibson Rattlers, the Mystic Marlins continued their momentum with a win in their tournament debut.

Kemron Gray led the Knights with nine points.

Doris Johnson took an early 9-3 lead at the end of the first quarter but led just 13-10 at the half.

The upset-minded Knights tied the game at 16 in the third and trailed by just four headed into the fourth.
