The Grace Christian Academy Lady Cougars improved their overall record to 15-4 and evened their ISA Region AA-3 record at 3-3 with a 39-37 victory Tuesday over the Southwest Georgia Academy Lady Warriors on senior night at Perry Memorial Gymnasium.
“Probably the most important stat tonight was turnovers,” Coach Erwin Harrell said after the game. “We had over 20 turnovers the past three games but tonight we only had seven. Now if we can just get those fouls under control.”
Senior Lady Cougars honored Tuesday were Kelsey Harrell, Perra Harrell and Lindsey Duke. Also honored on senior night were varsity cheerleaders Hannah Holden and Annabelle Smith and varsity dancers Haley Chandler, Ansley Stuart and Carley Cranford.
Perra Harrell led the Lady Cougars attack with 16 points and pulled down 13 rebounds. Lindsey Duke was also in double figures with 10 points and pulled down four rebounds.
Mikey Harrell had five points, Kaitlyn Holcombe had two points and four rebounds, Addie Elkins had two points and six rebounds and Mallie Andrews had 2 points.
“It was another hard fought close game with Southwest Georgia Academy and we were fortunate to get the win,” Harrell said. “It was a great win on senior recognition night. Several of the starters got into foul trouble tonight but Carly Godwin, Mikey Harrell and Mallie Andrews came of the bench and played solid.”
