COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Good win for the Lady Dawgs as we roll toward the end of our regular season. Couldn’t be more proud of how our players refuse to quit, no matter the score and play til the end. Ball didn’t bounce in our favor a few times, and it would’ve been easy for a team to accept it and take the loss. Not this group! They are a scrappy bunch who are ready for a fight at any time. I’m proud to be their Coach and how we represent Lawrence County Schools.”
“… A big thank you to former captain Kensley Feltner coming in to talk to the team before the game. Even after graduation, she is still leading. Says a lot about her and how she was raised.”
