COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Proud of our girls for the resilience they have shown in this early part of the season. We were given devastating news on Monday that Brooke again tore her ACL so will be having surgery again in January. We are so heartbroken for Brooke, she’s an amazing young lady. We are heartbroken. We have had to dig deep and more people have stepped up to help our team be successful.”
“… On Monday we played Letcher County Central which is one of the best in the 14th region and had a hard fought win. It was a great win for us. Then Tuesday we played Jenkins. We were able to get another win. It was great to win these two games before Christmas.”
