Indians Beat Mustangs In Emotional Game

The Seminole Indian basketball team beat the Andrews Mustangs Friday night 78-39 in their first home game in a couple of weeks.

While the victory gave the Tribe their sixth victory with no defeats in District 2-4A, the win meant less to the Indians and their fans than did the fact that they played and rallied around two teammates that were grieving and indeed a whole family that showed up to participate in the worst of circumstances.

The Cottrell family of Seminole lost their mother, wife and aunt, Amy Cottrell to an illness Wednesday and the funeral was held Saturday.
