McDONOUGH— The Lady Wildcats of Locust Grove have started their season with a 7-0 record, even downing two tough region opponents in the process, making this a season to remember for the team and head coach.
The hot 7-0 start has been the best start since record keeping started in 2009 on MaxPreps.com. The seven victories ties the most ever recorded by the team since 2015. Additionally the victories were earned consecutively, making it a first in school history. Head coach Greg Shook said he’s very fortunate to start the season off the way that they have.
