WEST LIBERTY, Ky. (WYMT) - After a season full of highs and lows, the Morgan County Cougars look to build off of last year’s success.

“Obviously the first game of the season we ended up having to play the 5A school Seneca,” said senior offensive lineman Drake Lindon. “That started the season off kind of strong.”

But after some mid-season struggles, the Cougars ended their season with a first round exit.

“We were right about .500 mark,” said head coach Mark Easterling. “We were a play or two away from having a real successful year. That carried into out offseason.”

Easterling says that because of the motivation, the Cougars have had one of the best offseasons in his tenure, with strong numbers in the weight room.

Morgan County’s schedule is below.
