    The Campbell County Lady Cougars are coming off their first district title since 1991.

    Losing all five starters and their sixth post off the bench, a lot of depth has graduated. Averaging 55 points last season, the Lady Cougars are only returning 8.4 points per game to this season’s squad.

    The LaFollette Country Club has a new pro in the pro shop.

    Richard Comer took over the position in late September, which is a move he couldn’t be happier about.

    “It’s a dream come true,” Comer said. “It’s a dream job. I worked up here for five years before mowing and in the pro shop. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. My dad did it years ago, and then my Uncle Bobby (Heatherly) did it. It’s kind of like following in their footsteps.”
