Remarkably, my most memorable moment from 2018 was the Lady Cougars capturing the school’s 10th title in softball. The team was special with a little magic dust sprinkled on for good measure. I’m not sure anyone thought they would make the run they did early in the season. Thanks for a thrill ! What’s your fondest memory from 2018 ?
