It was a dominant night for our Cougars! On the lanes, both the boys' and girls' Bowling teams claimed victory over New Hampton. For the girls, Lina B led the way with a stellar 311 series, followed closely by Emery M with a 307. On the boys' side, Lewey A posted a massive 211 game and 350 series, with Connor K right on his heels with a 347 series. Both teams are on fire, having won four of their last five meets!
The winning streak continued on the court as the Boys’ Basketball team delivered a commanding 73-32 win over Oelwein. Gavin T led the charge with a huge 30-point performance, supported by strong contributions all around from the entire roster. Congratulations to all our athletes on a fantastic night of Cougar victories!
