After trailing by 4 at the half,the lady cougars played a much better second half and went on to an 8 point win.

No discredit to Conner, but seems Grant Co is really struggling

Struggling is putting it mildly...when you jump out to an 8-1 lead and hold a team to 4 points in the quarter you would think it would motivate a team to put the pedal to the metal..but not this team. this was roughy the 6th or 7 th game where this team has either led the whole game or actually comeback and take a lead only to give it away at the end. With the exception of the Highlands and the 2nd SK game which were blowouts, this team has played every game close and either had a lead late or comeback to take a lead late and end up losing. The biggest problem is if Wright or Harmeyer don't score- either one scores into high teens or twenties or maybe both score 14-16 pts each, they are toast. Ruebusch has been a factor in a couple games but not consistently. No consistent help scoring wise from anyone else. But they also need to play better defense without fouling. It's hard to win when you put your opponent in the double bonus early in each half.. And then there are the turnovers..a lot of them unforced. I also think the heartbreak loss to WV where they came all the way back from 12 down and actually took the lead, and then being blownout at home by SK after leading them in the 1st meeting the whole game and losing to them in the final 2 min took a lot of the heart out of this team. Hopefully they can right the ship by districts.
