The Logan County Lady Cougars varsity team went 7-2 at the Basketball at the Beach Team Camp in Florida last week while the junior varsity went 6-1.
The Lady Cougars defeated Jefferson City of Georgia, St. Mary's of Louisiana, Ardmore of Alabama, Scott Hill of Tennessee, White County of Georgia twice, and Freeport of Florida. They lost to Oconee of Georgia by three and South Walton Beach of Florida by five.
Varsity players were Victoria Elliott, Kayla MacAllister, Markita Pheal, Miranda Rone, Maegan Williams, Kate Brooks, Polly Cowan, Jaylin Jones, Kara Lyons and Shannon MacAllister. Jones and Kayla MacAllister were named Outstanding Players of the Camp
The JV's went 6-1 with wins over Jefferson, St. Mary's twice, Freeport, and White County, losing only to South Walton. JV players were Addie Baldwin, Courtney Cropper, Jazzy Elliott, Laura Hunt, Megan Lindsey, Maegann Hardison, Kapreshia Powell, Hannah Statton, Deja Thompson and Kailee Williams.
Scot MacAllister is head coach. Assistant coaches making the trip were Zach Simpson and Robie Malcomson.
The St. Mary's head coach is former Super Bowl quarterback Stan Humphries of the San Diego Chargers. He allowed the girls to take pictures with him. "We had a great talk about training camp with the Chargers at UC San Diego and how my former California teams would stand at the fence in awe while visiting there for summer basketball tournaments," Coach MacAllister notes.

"The kids had a great time with the beach and the hospitality. I believe the parents did as well, as we are now calling Ft. Walton Beach 'South Logan' due to the number of parents who drove their kids to the tournament and cheered the Lady Cougars to victory. Much thanks to them and the school district for allowing us this opportunity, as some of our kids had never seen the ocean, beach, or live stingrays and dolphins."
