Two Different Styles of Ladies Lady Broncos Drop
Basketball in the Cougar Den Second Game of Season

Hudson~LitchfieldSports
by Len Lathrop
The Cougar Den was alive Monday, Feb. 6, when
Somersworth High School was in town. The Cougar
Ladies played a style of baseball where passing around
the perimeter would suddenly open a clear shot or a
few steps to the paint, while the Hilltoppers had plans
to run a play as they crossed the half court line. As you
can tell by the score, Campbell 41 and Somersworth
30, the Cougar style worked better this night on the
hardwood of the Cougar Den. While the Cats led most
of the game, there was a point at the six-minute mark of
the third period; the Hilltoppers had tied the score at 22.
The Cougars were led by Emma Rousseau with 14 points
and Jaelyn Lavigne with 13 points.
On Thursday the 2nd the ladies traveled to Conant
where they were not successful, with a final score of 45-
56. Jess Manning with 12 points led the Cougars.
The 12th-ranked Cougars were scheduled to play
Sanborn on Tuesday, which was snowed out. On Friday,
Feb. 10, the ladies will be on the bus to Somersworth,
and then Raymond will be in the den on Valentines Day
