Lady Cougar Coach Brad Honeycutt was happy with his team’s overall energy. He said, “Our transition game was going really well.”
“We’re that close,” said Cougar Coach Darrell Cox. He adds, “Powell’s pressure kept us out of our offense, but that’s an intensity thing on us for not fighting to get open on offense. We’ll work on that tomorrow (Wednesday) in practice. That’s fixable.”
