HERRIN -Hamilton Page scored the last five points, including the tie-breaking free throws with 7.4 seconds left Friday night, as the Rangers eked out a 43-41 decision in Memorial Gym.

“He’s one of those guys who’s been through the wars before,” Benton coach Ron Winemiller told The Southen abot Page. “Quarterback in football, shortstop in baseball … he’s been through a few pressure situations.”

“They’re a much-improved team from when we saw them earlier this year,” Winemiller said of Herrin.
