Friday night at the Cougar Den will be one of those moments we’ll remember for a long time. ❤️
After the senior girls game, we will proudly honor our 2025 State Champion Lady Cougars with a ring ceremony—a celebration of every long practice, every late night, every setback they pushed through, and every moment they chose heart over comfort.
This team showed us what grit, sisterhood, and Cougar Pride truly look like. Now it’s our turn to show THEM what their community feels for them.
Let’s fill the stands, lift them up, and celebrate the incredible journey that brought them to this unforgettable accomplishment.
Cougar Nation, this is your moment too. 🖤🤍🏀. We look forward to seeing you there!
