Playing for the second time in a week, Friday night’s crosstown showdown between Abilene High and Cooper figured to be a white-knuckled affair.
The Cougars were playing their second game with several members of the football team while AHS was coming off a season sweep of Wylie.
A red-hot first quarter set the tone for AHS which picked up it’s third straight win against local competition with a 65-50 win at Eagle Gym to improve to 9-2 on the season.
