“Last night we played a very good Byne team. They came out pressing us up and down the court,” Coach Lance Godwin told the Post-Searchlight. “We handled pressure much better tonight. Our girls played aggressive defense and hustled after loose balls. We rebounded the ball better tonight than we have been doing.” This game was also the Lady Cougars last home game this season. “We came out in the 2nd half and played much better man to man defense. This defense helped us cause turnovers that resulted in lay ups. It was good for us to get a win in our last home game of the season.”
