Ruinous start hobbles Lady Cougars

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION — When Jefferson missed its first 15 field goal attempts, its chances of tripping Musselman were ready to evaporate.

The Lady Cougars finally got a shot to drop. But by that time the Lady Applemen had a 14-point lead after the first quarter.

With that first-quarter cushion, the Lady Applemen went on to deal Jefferson a 65-38 loss and leave the Lady Cougars with a 2-16 overall record and still without a win in Sectional games.

Jefferson turnovers combined with Musselman’s vast rebounding superiority spelled doom for the Lady Cougars.

The victory ended a three-game losing skid for the Lady Applemen.

Musselman was 7-10 with its win.
