RYER JAMES REACHED THE 1000 POINT MARKER January 17, 2025, Rock Point, AZ - This is an exciting accomplishment for Ryer James and a proud moment for the Rock Point Cougars! Surpassing the 1,000-point mark in 77 games as a junior is no small feat and speaks volumes about his dedication, skill, and impact on the court. In a home game against Fredonia Lynx, James, a 6’3" center, hit a three pointer with 1:30 left on the time clock during the third quarter to accomplish this milestone. When coach Colin Begay called for a timeout after three referees gestured a three-point shot made, the celebration with fans, teammates, and family during the timeout highlights the strong community support surrounding him. The lead was extended to 41 points with a score of 67-26. With averages of 19.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, James is clearly a pivotal player for the Cougars this season. The Cougars host Rough Rock High School tomorrow night at 6:30 PM on Melvin Arthur Court in Rock Point, Arizona. Congratulations, Ryer, for a job well done! Best in health to Ryer and the Cougars in their upcoming game against the Sun Devils tomorrow night, and congratulations again on this remarkable milestone! #YéegoNáshdóíítsoh #GoCougars #WeAreRockPoint #Sportsmanship Photo Credit: Chris Wilson, RPCS AD
