Victory From An Insider's

A fairly young team young team with only one

senior, the Lady Cougars lacked height and

experience. Undaunted; however, by their lack

of physical prowess on the court, the women pulled

together, practiced hard, and played like a real team —

emphasizing each other’s strengths and working to

overcome one another’s weaknesses. Senior Laura

Clements really stepped in and added a lot to the game

with excellent leadership skills that encouraged everyone

to do their best and to play each game with a

determination to win. This was a rebuilding season for

the Lady Cougars. With the addition of five new

freshman and only three returning players Coach Mike

Gold had his work cut out for him to take this group of

individuals and mould them into a hardworking team.

Kim Hester said, “Coach Gold put in a lot of hard

work, patience, and endurance — especially through the

tough times. Coach is an excellent example of how Christ

should be exemplified in our lives on and off the court.

He teaches us to have and to keep Jesus first, as well as

the game of basketball.” Although their win loss record

for the season may not have been spectacular, the team

considered the end result a worthy goal — the formation

of new friendships and the development of pride in their

teamwork.

Susan Williams (40) and

Laura Clements do a great

job of blocking their

opponent. The Toccoa

Falls Eagles eventually did

win the game but not

without a good fight from

the Lady Cougars.
