South Central girls still improving
It's been a tough season for an inexperienced South Central High School girls basketball team.
But that has not stopped the girls from giving a full effort each game, which is something that has left first-year coach Gary Kapper pleased.
"We played from the start of the game and were still getting on the floor at the end of the game," Kapper said after a 53-48 loss to North Clay on Monday. "The girls worked very hard tonight."
The Lady Cougars (3-12) will play three straight home games, starting next Thursday against Altamont.
