The North Callaway Thunderbirds held off a third-quarter Van-Far rally, rolling to a 64-45 win in opening round play of the Bowling Green Tournament Tuesday. Callaway’s defense limited Van-Far to 15 first-half points, as the Thunderbirds took a 30-15 lead into the half.
Van-Far would chip away at the lead in the third, but the T-Birds answered with a 24-17 fourth quarter to advance to the semifinal winner’s bracket where they faced Clopton (results not available at press time).

There was little drama in last Thursday’s conference match-up between the North Callaway Thunderbirds and the Louisiana Bulldogs, as the Callaway girls successfully defended their home court, soaring to a 59-8 Senior Night victory. Callaway opened up with an 18-0 lead after the first quarter and they held Louisiana to only three first-half points.
All four Callaway seniors - Makenna Allen, Trinity Brush, Taylor Head and Hayley Kimbley - started and each one scored for Senior Night. Allen had 10 points and added 5 steals; Brush had a double-double, with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
It’s good to be home.
That was evidenced as the North Callaway Thunderbirds hosted Van-Far Tuesday night. It was Callaway’s first home game and the T-Birds didn’t disappoint their fans with an impressive 80-50 win, despite big numbers from the Indians’ Nikos Connaway.
“It was nice to get back on the winning track,” said coach Matt Miller.
With COVID-19 always in the shadows, Callaway opted to celebrate Senior Night, which is normally the last home game of the season.
“All four of our seniors played a great game,” Miller said.
After trailing 13-12 at the end of the first quarter, Callaway caught fire and steamrolled to the commanding win.
