Basketball Recap: Everglades Gators vs. Cooper City Cowboys

Suggested Video

Everglades couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They lost 48-24 to the Cooper City Cowboys on Monday. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Gators of the 66-31 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in January.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Cooper City to victory, but perhaps none more so than Myah Ray, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 13 rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Ray a new career-high in offensive rebounds (six). Juliana Rios was another key player, earning 15 points plus seven steals and five assists.

Everglades wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next contest, a 72-10 loss against Cypress Bay on the 19th. Cooper City has also already played their next matchup, a 62-36 victory against Boyd Anderson on the 20th.
