LEITCHFIELD -- Something had to change Thursday night at the middle school gym as the Lady Cougar eighth grade basketball team hosted Breckinridge County.

Grayson County came into the game with an 0-4 record, while the Lady Tigers stood 0-3. Someone was going to pick up their first win of the season. After a little more than two minutes of play, the Lady Cougars had built an 11-0 lead and it became obvious it would be Grayson County that would be victorious. They went on to a 42-13 win.

With starting guard Tiffany Brooks scoring seven of her game-high 14 points in the first period, the Lady Cougars built a 17-1 lead and were never in danger afterward. They led 25-6 at the half.

Tyra Shepherd and Brittney Johnson had eight points each for the Lady Cougars, while Taylor Houchin and Jamie Moxley had four apiece. Candice Skaggs scored two and Brandie Beasley and Brooke Pierce had one each to complete the scoring.

The Lady Cougars will travel to Morgantown next Thursday to take on the Lady Bears of Butler County. The eighth graders will play following the seventh-grade game, set to begin at 5:30 p.m.
