Sports Announcements
The Lady Cougars Volleyball A Team Won the League Championship!
The Lady Cougars Volleyball A Team participated in the League Tournament earlier this week at Polytechnic competing against three other top teams, Westridge, Chandler, and Rio Hondo. Our only loss of the season was to Chandler, so the Lady Cougars were eager for an opportunity to play them again. After beating Rio Hondo they faced Chandler again and pulled off a thrilling win, securing our League Tournament Championship. Way to go, Lady Cougars!
