In an always exciting area matchup between Horseshoe Bend and Central Coosa, it was the Cougars who came out victorious Thursday on the road 76-58 against the Generals.
Using an overhauled roster from last season, Central Coosa took to the road and looked to be fairly comfortable facing a largely veteran Horseshoe Bend squad.
