The Georgia Christian School Generals downed the Grace Christian Academy Cougars 70-55 Tuesday at Perry Memorial Gymnasium to tie the Cougars for first place in Georgia Independent Schools Association Region 3-AA.

Dr. Mallory McRae’s Cougars, who are 15-6 overall, defeated the Generals 66-60 when they met Jan 16 in Valdosta.

The Cougars were led Tuesday by Noah Thomas with 17 points and three assists, Jack McRae with 12 point and six rebounds, four assists and five steals Sam McRae with 10 points and three rebounds, Tray Webb with four rebounds and Tre Dudley with four rebounds and three assists.

Dr. McRae said he was pleased with his Cougars overall effort Tuesday night, pointing out that they were tied going into the fourth quarter.

“Georgia Christian started hitting their shots in the fourth quarter and we went cold, and that made the difference in the game,” he said.

The Cougars returned to action Friday when they hosted Valdosta’s Highland Christian Academy at Perry Memorial Gymnasium. They will take on Harvest Christian School Monday in Ozark, Alabama. Their final regular season game will be Friday, Feb. 13, when they travel to Cordele to take on Crisp Academy.
