Coyote Athletics : Women's Basketball

End of Season Wrap-up

Despite an injured and depleted line-up the Cerro Coso Women's Basketball Team have completed a very successfull season. They finished 16-8 overall and 9-5 in the Foothill Conference. Head Coach Tom Heck, Assistant Coach Nathan Hiner and all of the players should be congratulated on their efforts. In conference play their only losses were basically to the two powerhouses (Antelope Valley and Chaffey). Due to injuries and attrition many games were played with only six or seven players. These young ladies showed a great deal of determination and grit. We should all be proud of the efforts of our Lady Coyotes.
