SHE-HULK PLAYER OF THE MATCH — AUBREY BUSH A SEASON TO BE PROUD OF Although the result wasn’t what we wanted, we couldn’t be prouder of this team and the way these girls responded throughout the season. They continued to compete, grow, and represent Greenfield-Central with determination and pride. The team went 10-5-1 overall and 4-1 as runner ups in Hoosier Heritage Conference. Championships are about more than the final score. They are about the work, the adversity, the relationships, and the commitment to something bigger than yourself. Thank you to our players, seniors, families, and supporters for being part of this journey. Hold your heads high, Cougars. The legacy continues. UPHOLD THE LEGACY. 🐾💙💛
