Tuesday night Nov. 7, at the Cougar basketball arena, the Cougar basketball program hosted the annual tipoff pep rally and team introductions.

The 2A North 8-Man Champion Rector Cougars started their final regular season game against Midland Mustangs with two crazy penalties for big yardage against them. The Cougars were not deterred, however, going forward with the game plan that showcased Kaden Avery, Carter Hill, and Drew Henderson as offensive giants and line play as stalwart.

Piggott High School FCCLA is sponsoring the 2023 Powderpuff Game at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3 at Hunter Midkiff Memorial Stadium. Admission is $3 with children five and under admitted free. Everyone is invited to come watch, enjoy and cheer on the freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors play.

Two minutes had elapsed in quarter one of the clash between the Rector Cougars and the Augusta Red Devils and Kaden Avery took a direct snap. He wove his way through and cut to the sideline and the red zone, scoring the initial Cougar touchdown with Carter Hill adding the two-point conversion.

Rector’s Junior Cougar football team enjoyed a spirited victory over the Augusta Red Devils on Friday, Oct. 13, in front of a crowd anxious for another junior win. The second half started with Augusta sending the kick-off down the field to Lawson Green who gathered it in and took off toward the end zone and Waylon Haynes converted for bonus 2 points, bringing the lopsided score for the Cougars to 40 – 0 against the Red Devils. If that was not enough, the Red Devils arched a lob into double coverage and Rector’s Lincoln Willingham ran away for another touchdown with the game clock running. During the final series, Coach Robert Dorman called for a kneedown to end the game, Rector taking the victory 46 – 0.

Nothing proved unlucky in Rector on Friday, Oct. 13, as Rector High School hosted its annual Senior Night presentation before the football game against the Augusta Red Devils. The presentations to the seniors were made by Athletic Director Nate Henderson, cheer coach Chelsea Clark, and football coach David Hendrix. Announcers for the event were Karrin Henderson and Emma Holmes.
