Bainbridge High School cross-country coach Yvette Greene says the Bearcats are prepared for the challenge of the state course in Carrollton.
“We have prepared by completing rigorous hill and interval workouts,” she said. “All the coaches expect the Bearcats runners to compete well as a team.”
Community coach Greg Waddell says Bainbridge will be represented by a great group of boys and girls who are dedicated to the Bainbridge High School cross country at state this weekend.
