The Central McLean (CM) Cougars girls basketball team continues to meddle in opponent’s game plans. The Cougars took on the seventh state ranked Beulah Miners in Wilton on Saturday and buried the Miners hopes for an undefeated season. The Cougars defeated Beulah 50-42 with defense and freethrows and a couple of timely treys by a freshman.
The game was fast, furious and physical from the beginning. The teams combined for a game total of 41 fouls and shot 65 freethrows. The Cougars were 16-for-31 and Beulah shot 18-for-34 from the stripe. In
the end it was the Cougars’ Ashtyn Smith hitting 7-of-11 free-throws in the last 1:51 to seal the win.
