The Grace Christian Academy Lady Cougars dropped a 41-39 overtime decision to Cordele’s Crisp Academy Lady Wildcats Friday at Perry Memorial Gymnasium.

Leading the way for coach Erwin Harrell’s Lady Cougars were Perra Harrell with 17 points and Kelsey Harrell with 11 points.

Rounding out the Lady Cougars scoring column were Addie Elkins with 4, Lindsey Duke with 3 and Kaitlyn Holcombe and Mikey Harrell with 2 apiece.

Leading the way for the Lady Wildcats were Claire McGarr with 15 and Sidney Folson with 14.

“I am so proud of how the ladies fought tonight,” Harrell said after the overtime loss to the Lady Wildcats. “We were down by nine at the end of the third quarter, but we battled back to send it to overtime. I could not have asked the ladies to play any harder than they did. They left everything they had on the court. I have got to do a better job preparing and coach them”

The Lady Cougars, who are 12-2 overall and 0-1 in the Georgia Independent Schools Association Region 3-AA, will return to action Tuesday when they play Highland Christian Academy in Valdosta. They will host Georgia Christian Academy Thursday at home.
