Women set goal for Kansas City but fall short The 1981-82 basketball season started out with a new twist. On Nov. 7 old Cougar basketball members gathered once again on the BCCC floor to take on the new Cougars. Dr. Harrell Guard was the coach for the Alumni team. His team played well, but the new Cougars defeated them. After the Christmas break, the Cougars started Jayhawk Conference play. Lady luck was not with them in their first two games as they were defeated by Pratt and Dodge City. After the Dodge City game, the Cougars went on to win every conference game and finish in a tie for the Jayhawk Western Division title. They went into the playoff with the hope of traveling once again to Kansas City forthe national tournament. They opened playoff play by defeating Dodge City at home, and they traveled to Pratt and defeated them. Cloud County was the only team that stood between the Cougars and the trip to Kansas City. But, once again, lady luck was not with them as Cloud defeated the Cougars by two points. The names of Wingard, Lebsack, Seeliger and Allensworth will remain in the BCCC record books for some time.
