Keep winning boys, the fans will come soon enough.
Way to go Cougars and a big “great job” to the new owners and management.
You have a vision and we like what you see..
I was at both of these game and am so proud of those young men and the heart they played with. Going to games this season is truly entertaining; the new owners have done so much to improve the experience. I purchased 2 feature game packs and to flex game packs. The reasoning behind this was that for the feature games I would have 2 side by side seats so friends could come to the games with me, and sit next to me. The flex game packs are to support the Cougars on nights that are not considered feature games. Unfortunately, it seems that attendance is down on nights that are not feature games and some of the best games are on these non-feature game nights. Please help this amazing team and go out and purchase these flex-game packs and get out and support the team on nights that are not feature games.
