North Lyon County

Cooper Woodrow and Briauhna Pierce, both two-time all-tournament award winners at the Wabaunsee Tournament, demonstrated exactly why they earned the honor. Both the Ladycats and Wildcats competed to the best of their abilities against tough and highly competitive opponents. Although the Cats did not secure a win during the tournament, their determination never wavered as they played each game with relentless effort and refused to give up. The teams will play Burlingame on their home court on December 19th.
