Still Going Strong When the 1986-87 season started out, the Conner fans thought it would be a slow season. The Lady Cougars lost their first two games, but the fans were proven wrong when the team came back to win the Highland tournament. A great factor toward these wins were the dedicated coaching staff, which are Tim Shields and Carmen Shannon. Mr. Shields has proved to be one of the best coaches in KY. He works very hard at making us a good team and he takes a lot of pride in our performances, commented Andrea Utz. The Cougars are very thankful for his support and outstanding coaching ability. After loosing several talented seniors and being regional champions last year, the Lady Cougars still proved to be very successful. They were led by seniors Suzanne Walton, Suzanne Conner, and Dawn Graves. Helping them were juniors Andrea Utz, Christy Schwa be, Stephanie Hungler, and most definitely, sophomore Kim Warfield. With all of these remarkable ball players the team felt confident. Our strong points are that the team is well-rounded and we don't have to depend on one person, remarked Suzanne Walton.

(Continued from pg. 89) This has definitely helped the Lady Cougars. During the Boone County Recorder Classic, they beat Mason County in the quarter- finals. The game was close until the latter stages of the third quarter when Kim Warfield and Suzanne Walton led a scoring run that pushed a 30-28 score to 41-28. This led the Lady Cougars to the semi-finals where they played Louisville Southern. The Lady Cougars went into the game with their heads held high. They fought hard, but unfortunately were still undefeated with a score of 72-45. With the district 90 Girls Basketball tournament being held at Conner, the Lady Cougars had a high level of fan support in the first round of the tournament. They played the Walton Verona Lady Bearcats, and with a tough defense they progressed to the semi- finals with a score of 45- 34. The Lady Cougars started the game against St. Henry with a bang! They took control and pulled to a wide lead, but suddenly St. Henry turned the score around, and the Lady Cougars fell to a defeat of 37-41. Although everyone was disappointed they knew they had played their best and would never forget this successful season.
