“I felt like we came out with lots of energy,” said Head Coach Brian Chitwood. “We shot the ball well early, building a 30-5 lead. I was impressed with North Stokes’s effort as they battled back and tied the game at 41-41 in the 3rd period. Our guys stepped up and executed late in the 4th quarter and closed it out with a 12-point victory. Great effort by our Cougars as they won both matchups with a very good North Stokes ball club this season. Very happy for our seniors.”
