Ragland VB Scores

By Joel Paris

Turnovers plagued Ragland and the Purple Devils fell to Lincoln last week 58-36.

Prior to tip-off, the seniors were honored in the last home game of the regular season.

The Purple Devils (4-18) were down 27-19 at the half and by ten at the end of the third before falling apart in the fourth.

“Our play was better. We still had too many turnovers to have a chance to win,” Ragland coach Andy Eden said.

Colton Echols scored 12 points with four rebounds and four assists, Landon Bice scored six points and grabbed seven rebounds, Jacob Hollingsworth scored six and John Arnold had five points and five rebounds.

The Ragland b-team picked up a 37-31 win over Lincoln earlier that evening.

“I was proud of our effort as we again are showing signs of improvement,” Eden said.

Echols led Ragland with 19 points and five rebounds, Bice scored nine points with six rebounds, Devin Wilson scored six points with seven rebounds and Hollingsworth added five points and four rebounds.

Coosa Christian beat Ragland 56-43. Echols poured in 18 points with seven rebounds, Arnold scored six with five rebounds and Jonathan Gibson added six points and five rebounds.

“I’m proud of the way we came back in the second half. We dug ourselves a hole too deep to get out of in the first half,” Eden said.
