“Everybody got to play, so that was a great thing for us,” he said.

The Lady Cougars will now turn their attention toward region playoffs, where Godwin has high hopes.

“This group of girls, we have a high chance of playing for the region championship,” he said. “We finished as #1 seed during our season, so we drew a bye for the first round and we have already qualified for state.”

They will play Thursday, February 10 at 3:30 p.m. against Covenant Academy at Central Fellowship Christian Academy. If they win, the Lady Cougars will then compete in the region championship the following night.
