The Rangers were wanting an upset on Saturday, but Cosby had another ideas.
Unaka was unable to knock off the top seed from District 2-A as the Rangers fell 77-57 to the Eagles in the Region 1-A semifinals.
UHS, however, didn’t go down without a fight.
The Rangers got an early boost from John Boy Ramsey as he knocked down two 3-pointers. Kyle Lewis scored four points in the frame, but the Eagles held a 19-14 lead after a quarter of play. Cosby slowly extended the lead in the second quarter as the Eagle held a 38-25 advantage at the half.
Unaka cut the lead to nine points early in the third quarter. However, the Eagles answered to hold a 55-40 lead at the heading to the final quarter. Colton Chambers continued to have a strong presence with 10 fourth quarter points, but the Rangers were unable to rally before time expired.
Chambers tallied 27 points to lead all scorers. Lewis tallied 16 points, while Joe Searfoss had eight points in the game.
In all, Cosby hit 10 3-pointers and were led by Kurry Cody’s 26 points.
