The Rector Cougars basketball teams opened season play on Tuesday, Nov. 14, sending out the Junior-B team, Junior-A team, and the Senior High boys team, minus three seniors who are still in football competition. The Junior-B team froze out the opponent as the seconds ticked down and came away with a 25 – 24 win against the Trumann Wildcats with Isaac Phillips and Eli Hamm making solid contributions. The Junior-A team clicked on the speed button and fired up the 3-machine in the first minutes, pulling in front by 11 – 2 over Trumann’s Junior Wildcat team. The halftime score was 22 – 15 with the Cougars in the lead. Gabe Prince, Ford Mills, Marcus Moody along with Collin Jetton led the charge along with Ben Schimming, securing the 50 – 31 victory.
