  • Lady Cougars snap tennis skid

    Victories have been in short supply the past few years for the Campbell County High School girl’s tennis team.

    “This is not going to do a lot for us in the district (seeding), but it’s going to boost our confidence through the roof,” said Campbell County coach Jason Ivey.

    The Lady Cougars last won a match in March 2005, when they blanked Clinton 8-0 in their district opener.
