After pregame and announcing the seniors, it was game time. Antelope got an early jump on the game scoring a quick two coming off a miss by the Cougars. As the game progressed, we saw great offence and defence from both teams. As the half approached, both teams showed no signs of slowing down and kept the game very close.

After the half the Cougars continued to play hard ball and continued to keep the game very close and intense. With the crowd into the game, the Cougars and Titans continued to go back and forth, as the game came down to an end, with a 1-point differential, the Cougars continued to battle to the last seconds but unfortunately lost. 

We would like to thank all the seniors again for their hard work this season.
