 Back in March, the McGuffin County Lady Hornets lost by just one point in the 15th region championship against Shelby Valley by a score of 22-23. After last season, the Lady Hornets basketball program lost experience but gained a new coaching staff and a brand new gymnasium to showcase their talent. You know, we're coming back. We got five juniors. We got three starting juniors that were there and got to play in it. So, you know, they know what it's like to be able to go up and play in a regional tournament and a championship. You know, 57th is a very strong district, so we're looking to get through that first, then we'll try to get our way on into the regional tournament. Out of this season, coming into it, losing a lot, we basically just want to know where we stand and we want to do big things. But this year, we won't lose anybody, so we're just going to use this as a building season. We're just going to get better and try to do the best that we can. Our biggest hurdle right now will be getting the ball up the floor. I mean, everybody knows we lost two great players last year in Jazz and Leslie, and so we got to really work on getting the ball up the floor. Got some girls qualified to do it. We lost really good seniors last year, and I think that the roles that we have to feel will be really big. But I'm not worried. I think that they can come up, you know, and play at the level that they need to play. If they just focus, you know, and work really hard, I think we'll be fine. Well, we really got to work hard physically and mentally, but we have the talent it takes to get us to where we want to go. But all we really need to do is just learn how to come together as one and then play. You know, I just think coming from district champs last year and, you know, region champs front-ups, I think we can get back to where we were. I want to go farther. I want to be in state. I want to go to state. I'm so proud for the McGoffin County and what we've got here to be able to come into this and have this nice facility. I mean, the whole school's nice, new principal, new coaching staff, and, you know, the boys are all for it here. And we hope to pack out the gym in the 29th when we play South Floyd in the game open or Boy, Girl, Doubleheader. Reporting in McGoffin County for EKB Sports, I'm Makayla Colley.
