Congratulations to all of the Cougars who've competed over the past week, and good luck to everyone in the week to come!

BOYS BASKETBALL - The Cougars fell to Todd County Friday night in overtime. On Saturday night they played Allen County and went to yet another overtime, but were able to pull out the win. The Cougars now have a 11-11 record (3-2 district) and will wrap up district play this Friday night hosting Franklin-Simpson. 

SWIMMING - The Cougars competed in the Regional Prelims and finals this past weekend. Here is Coach Hindman's recap of the event: 

Senior Sarah Gill broke her own team record in the 200 Free with a time of 2:13.72, powering her way into 4th place heading into the finals. She was greeted by junior Maddie Burgess, who was sitting at 9^th place. 

After a tough Prelims swim in the 200 Freestyle relay on Friday, the Lady Cougars were sitting at 7^th, and they came back with a vengeance on Saturday. The Girls Shattered their own team record by a staggering 4 seconds! The girls' relay was composed of Sarah Gill, Maddie Burgess, Leah Dukes, and Allie Crocker. This bumped them up to 5^th  overall. The future Lady Cougars now need to beat 1:56.63 in order to set a new team record in this event.

The same Relay team placed 7^th overall in the 200 Medley Relay. 

The entire Girls Regional team qualified for the second day of Regionals. Senior Sarah Gill (5^th in the 200 Free, 7^th in the 100 Back), Junior Maddie Burgess 10^th in the 200 Free, 14^th in the 100 Back), 8^th Grader Leah Dukes (9^th in the 100 Free and 16^th in the 100 Back), and 7^th Grader Allie Crocker (12^th in the 100 Free).

Sophomore Aiden Dilliha (7^th in the 100 Free, 9^th in the 50 Free), Freshman Collin Dilliha (9^th in the 200 Free, 10^th in the 500 Free), 8^th grader Neal Winchester (13^th in the 100 Fly) were the men who qualified for the second day of Finals individually. 

The Boys 200 Freestyle Relay came back to finals as a young band of men to watch. The young relay was composed of 8^th Grader Layton Davenport, Sophomore Eli McGinnis, 8th Grader Brayden Spain, and Freshman Collin Dilliha. They made their stand and placed 12th overall. 

The Boys 200 Medley relay started off the meet with a best time, only to continue the trend of shedding time in Finals. The relay was made up of 8^th Grader Will McCarley, 8^th Grader Neal Winchester, sophomore Aiden Dilliha, and 7^th  Grader Cooper Burgess. 

The last event of the meet was the Boys 400 Freestyle Relay. The Boys made their final push for points, placing 6^th overall. The relay was made of Freshman Collin Dilliha, 8^th Grader Neal Winchester, 7^th Grader Cooper Burgess, and sophomore Aiden Dilliha. 

The Girls team placed 8^th and the Boys team placed 11^th, for a combined 9^th place overall for the Cougars.

With Semi State looming around the corner, we await the results of Region 1 to know for sure who will qualify. But at this point, our odds are looking quite favorable.
