The Cougars survived a scare from Jamestown Ragsdale Tuesday winning 53-51. The Cougars set a single season school record winning their 23rd game. Coach Ed Wills will be live on the air this morning at 7:45 to talk about the North Meck Vikings who are a consensus top five team in the state. Their seeding dropped because they placed second to Charlotte Chambers in the regular season but they are to be honest, the best team the Cougars have faced this season. Despite playing at home, AC is widely considered a significant underdog. The game tips-off at 6:30 pm.
