MONTGOMERY – Houston Academy’s record-breaking season came to a halt on Saturday in the Class 3A South Regional semifinals, but not before a hard-fought battle in falling to No. 1-ranked
The Raiders, ranked No. 4 in the state, end the season with a 29-3 record, which is a school-mark for wins in a season.“Cottage Hill has been good for a while and they’re a really good team – No. 1 in the state for a reason,” Houston Academy coach Ron Watson said.
A basket inside by Cam Dyer, who led the Raiders with 21 points, trimmed the lead to 47-45 with just more than four minutes left. Dyer connected on two free throws with 1:45 left to pull the Raiders within 51-47, but the Warriors finished it off at the free throw line, connecting on 5-of-6 for the final margin of victory. Cottage Hill outscored Houston Academy 20-8 in the final quarter.
“I’m really proud of this team. We had five seniors with two of them starting, so we have a good core coming back.
