BUFORD — Camille Anderson wore a smile from ear to ear after the best game of her career Tuesday night, a battle between two elite high school players. The Lady Wolves guard scored a season-high 33 points with the help of six 3-pointers to overcome a 40-point effort by the nation’s top-ranked player, Asia Durr, and guided a thrilling 59-55 victory against St. Pius X in the Class AAAA state quarterfinals at Buford High School.
