KC men will play at home Friday-Saturday, Nov. 29-30

After a tough overtime loss in Lufkin last weekend, the Kilgore College men's basketball team will play two non-conference games during Thanksgiving week before resuming conference play.

KC will play non-conference opponents Grayson College 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 29, and Creating Young Minds (CYM) 4 p.m. Saturday.  Both games will be in Masters Gymnasium.

The Rangers (6-2, 0-1) are coming off a narrow loss in overtime to Angelina College, 78-75, at Shands Gymnasium.

AC's Travis Henson’s blocked a Rangers’ shot with 20 seconds to play in overtime to preserve the Roadrunners’ win in both teams' conference-opener.

Draylon Brown made two free throws with 13 seconds left in overtime, and AC (2-5, 1-0) sealed the win with a steal in the paint as the clock expired.

Cameron Gooden led the Rangers with 22 points. Rodrigue Andela earned a double-double with 17 points and 15 rebounds.  Tyron McMillian and Michael Thomas were also in double figures with 16 and 10 points, respectively.
