November 20- The season and home opener for Cumberland Gap basketball was a special one in that it was dedicated to the loving memory of Katlin Burger. Teacher and girls assistant coach, Burger, was taken in a tragic accident only a few days ago. All around the gymnasium you could see fans wearing tee shirts featuring Katlin’s college number, 33. She will always be a part of the Cumberland Gap family.
On the court, the Lady Rangers came in and led at the half, 22-19. The Lady Panthers tried to narrow the advantage but couldn’t get the big run that put them ahead. Unaka won the game 44-33. Jenna Middleton led the Lady Panthers with 14 points. Jayla Bailey had 10, Kelly Hatfield scored four, Audrey Turpin had three and Briley Colinger dropped in two. Ari Sutherland and Brooklynn Campbell each had 13 to lead the Lady Rangers. The Down Home Processing co-players of the game were Bailey and Middleton.
The boy’s game was next and Unaka pulled away early and led 38-17 at the half and won 71-50. The highlight of this game was undoubtably Kolton Goins and Brady Harris reaching the 1,000th point mark in the second half. Harris led the Panthers with 19 points, Keaton Clawson had nine, Kolton Goins had seven, Neil Bunch and Colby Weaver both had five. Gabe Daniels dropped in two, Cameron Burchett also had two and Eli Reed dropped in one. John Hardin led the Rangers with 18, Cooper Smith had 17, Aiden Walsh scored 13, and Zach Wallin finished with 11. The Boyd Bean Drywall co-players of the game were Harris and Goins. *All scores are unofficial.
