Warriors put away Pirates with 3-point shooting

COTTER — The Cotter Warriors used a school-record 3-point shooting barrage to put a losing skid to rest Friday night. Cotter buried 13 3-pointers and held off a late rally by Calico Rock, taking a 61-56 victory over the Pirates on homecoming night at Cotter Coliseum. The Warriors’ 13 treys equaled the school record, set in a regional tournament game against Quitman on Feb. 23, 2000. Sophomore Wyatt Cherry came off the bench to ignite the Warriors with four 3-pointers, and junior Logan Guthrie knocked down three shots from beyond the arc. “We shared the ball, and we made open shots,” Cotter coach Jackson Rains said. “We knew with (Calico Rock’s) length and size, it was going to be hard to score at the basket. We saw that they like to collapse, so we’d get the ball inside and then kick it back out.
