Scrimmages

We were fortunate to win our 2 scrimmage games on Nov. 19 and Nov. 22.  In our first scrimmage game we had to come from 15 points behind to win by 3 over Mclean Co. 61-58.  Defensively, we struggled stopping the 3 pointer as Mclean Co. made 11-25.  We forced several second half turnovers and came back to win.  We were led by Ollie Roberts with 20 points.  Brady Clemons led us with 5 assists and Ethan Saltsman led us with 7 rebounds. 

In our second scrimmage we beat South Warren 53-43.  Our defense was much better in this game but we struggled offensively.  We only made 3-12 from behind the arc and shot 50% from the free throw line.  We were led by Ethan Saltsman's 16 points and 7 rebounds.  Ollie Roberts led us with 5 assists and also shared the steals lead with Brady Clemons with 4 a piece.  We forced SW into 24 turnovers but committed 17 ourselves. 

Our next action will be the season opener versus district rival Butler Co. The game is on December 2nd and is a boy/girl doubleheader with the girls playing at 6:00.

Cougar Jamboree

First of all, I would like to thank all the parents for their help during our jamboree.  A big thanks goes to Dan Powers GMC Center here in Leitchfield for being our primary sponsor for the 5th year in a row.  We really appreciate their efforts to help our school and team out.  To all the other sponsors that purchased ads on the shirts or in our program, we really appreciate the support. 

Thanks,

Coach Johnston
