ICC Cougars basketball season ends

That’s a wrap on the season for the ICC Cougars as they fell to Tuckerman in the Final Four game of the State Tournament March 8. To say that this crew had a great season would be an understatement. The team has an incredible amount of talent as shown by the crazy number of comeback wins and buzzer beaters we’ve seen throughout the season. They’ve played with passion, grit, heart, and class. The consistent sportsmanship, teamwork, and dedication displayed by this group has been nothing short of remarkable. Their schedule this year has been tough, but purposeful to prepare them to be in it for the long haul... and each game they’ve shown up and given absolutely everything they’ve had. There’s no quit in this bunch of boys. Cougars, we are so proud of you. Thank you for letting Cougar Nation be a part of this unforgettable season.
