“After tonight I definitely see some things we’ve got to work on like passing and serving,” said head coach Steve Lyne. “It was a good lesson for the girls. They aren’t as good as they think they are but they aren’t as bad. But I think they played really good tonight.”
Lyne says he will use this loss to motivate the girls for their ultimate goal which is regional championship at the end of the year. Lyne says they need to get mentally prepared for the end of the season.
The Lady Cougars play Todd County Central tonight in Elkton.
