The Letcher Central Lady Cougars were 20-10 during head coach Keith Baker’s second year leading the program.
Spring forward to the 2019-20 season and LCC could make some noise in the 14th Region thanks to eight top returners from one year ago.
“We need to make the extra pass, learn to team rebound and improve defensively,” Baker said. “If we do those things we’ll be fine.”
Top returnees include Brooklyn Collins, Makenzie Craft, Makaylee Banks and Brooke Bates, along with Loren Boggs, Kiera Couch, Courtney Hayes and Cammie Collins.
The Lady Cougars will open the season at home against Prestonsburg on Dec. 5.
