“We played a pretty decent game overall against James Island,” said Coach Charles Lindsay. “We got a late start, allowing James Island to get up 15 points, but we were able to bring it back within two points. Unfortunately, we could not overcome the point deficient late in the fourth period.”
Colleton County’s home game versus Beaufort High School scheduled to be played Friday January 14 was postponed due to COVID-19 safety protocols for the Eagles.
The Lady Cougars will host May River High School on Friday, January 21 in Region VII-AAAA competition.
