Just wanted to take a minute to acknowledge some groups that make Logan County High School and our community so wonderful;

It always nice to reflect back after something is over and see it from a different perspective. We recently hosted the 13th District Basketball Tournament. Our Lady Cougars advanced to Diddle Arena to play in the 4th Region Tournament. Reflecting back:

1)  Cougars and Lady Cougars played hard during the district tournament. Managers, coaches, and players represented our school well.

2) JROTC did a bang-up job as usual. Our competition squad was the only JROTC to present at the whole 4th Region Tournament.

3) LCHS Band – Never say enough about their enthusiasm and quality of performance demonstrated at District and Regional. They lit it up at Diddle and had the place rocking!!

4) The culinary classes of Mrs. Bridgette Hughes and Mrs. Joella Morrow did an outstanding job, not only cooking great meals each night in the district hospitality room, but did so with elegance.

5) Various coaches and our principal pitched in to help do mundane jobs to make things run so smoothly at District (awards table, pass gate, ladder for cutting down the nets, etc.).

6) Our score table crew is one of the best in the business (Billie Joe Coleman, Barry McReynolds, Holli Black, Debbie McReynolds).

7) Basketball Boosters did an outstanding job seeing that concessions and admission gates ran smoothly, along with help from our Cheerleaders and Tennis teams.

8) Custodians did marvelous with clean-up after our games each night at District, which is an enormous task to say the least.

9) WRUS and their team of broadcasters helped so graciously to broadcast the games to those at home that couldn’t make it in person, for both the district and the regional games.

10) Cheerleaders filled our gym and Diddle Arena with stunts, flips, cartwheels, and build performances that made us so proud.

11) Thanks to Janice Price for volunteering to work during the basketball season and at District

12) LCHS Ambassadors pitched in and helped sell shirts and meet and greet teams as they arrived. There’s a reason they are called ambassadors.

13) Our wonderful counselors did their part as they looked up our basketball players’ GPAs so our kids could be awarded with the Academic All-District Certificates.

14) Gerald Printing sponsored and help hand out Academic certificates

15) Parents and our community in general, came out and showed a great deal of spirit and support.

Reflecting only solidifies the fact that “Cougar Pride” is NOT just words we put on paper or our shirts. Cougar Pride is all the things I mentioned and so much more. We can all be proud of what’s happening every day in our schools.Take the time to reflect on so many good things happening daily around you, you too will be so proud.

Thanks for so many that contribute to our schools daily.
