What an exciting night in the pool - incredible atmosphere and support for our swimmers!  Great swims, lots of personal bests, and a tight meet - especially for the Lady Cubs.

Cubs split the meet with HHC opponent Jennings County with the Cubs winning 130-37 and the Lady Cubs dropping a close one 87-86.  

Our girls had an outstanding night in the pool, the difference came down to diving and a short-staffed squad due to illness.  We are so happy with where everyone is this early in the season.  The kids are working hard and several are working through some early nagging injuries, but are learning to persevere - and that is the larger lesson in the bigger scheme.  I think they are beginning to understand the payoff with hard work.
