Asheville, NC - January 21, 2005 - The Cougar Sports Network is airing replays of the exciting Asheville/Roberson MAC Conference basketball doubleheader played at Asheville High on Friday. (See schedule in the "On Air" Section.) The two-time defending 3A champion Lady Cougars (18-0, 11-0) rallied from a three point halftime deficit to demolish the Lady Rams 73-56 for their 36th consecutive victory. Asheville took the floor in the second half without leading scorer Rashanda McCants. In the first half, McCants picked up four fouls, including a technical foul. With McCants on the bench, Danielle Burgin and Lauren Powell helped Asheville build a double-digit lead midway through the third quarter. Roberson would get no closer than nine points the rest of the game. Powell failed to score in the first half, but caught fire in the third quarter. She scored the Lady Cougars' first seven points to give Asheville a 38-34 lead and scored all 13 of her points in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, McCants returned to the game and finished with 22 points, as did Burgin. Great victory!
In men's action, Roberson defeated the Cougars 87-81 in OT. Evan Pappas led Asheville with 29 points ( including nine 3-pointers!), while Matthew Pride added 27 points and 10 rebounds. It was a heartbreaker to lose, but a great effort by the Cougars!
