Despite a phenomenal run in the regular season, Rice Consolidated couldn't carry that success into this playoff game. They fell 57-48 to the Cole Cougars on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Raiders can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas basketball rankings (they are ranked 613th, while the Cougars are ranked 271st).
Rice Consolidated's loss dropped their record down to 23-8. As for Cole, they are on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 27-7 record this season.
Rice Consolidated does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Cole, a feisty cat fight will be fought as the Cougars take on the Panthers on Monday. Aransas Pass knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past ten contests -- so hopefully Cole likes a good challenge.
