In the twilight of her storied Lebanon basketball career, Raegan McCowan has a newfangled appreciation for each passing moment.
When the Western Illinois-bound guard entered the O'Reilly Family Event Center on Friday to open the annual Pink and White Lady Classic, McCowan was conscious of it being her final appearance in the tradition-rich tournament.
Then she played like it.
McCowan poured in a game-high 35 points − including 12 in a pivotal fourth quarter − to help the Yellowjackets come from behind to down Thayer 60-50 in the morning contest.
"This being my last Pink and White, so it's definitely special to me", McCowan said.
