The Cooper boys basketball team snapped a five-game losing streak and gave their playoff hopes a major boost Friday with a 48-37 win over Aledo at Cougar Gym.

The Coogs, who moved to 14-15 overall and 2-5 in District 4-5A with the victory, now hold a one-game lead on Wichita Falls High for the district’s fourth and final playoff spot heading into their regular season finale at Wylie on Tuesday. WFHS, meanwhile, must beat league-leader Wichita Falls Rider (23-7, 7-0) on the final day of the regular season to force a district playoff.
