Cougar Classic Day One in the books, and the home team is just getting started
Day one of the Cougar Classic is in the books, and the home team made sure we all remembered why we show up. This wasn't a quiet opener. This was a statement. The kind of start that makes you glad you cleared your weekend schedule, because this team is just getting warmed up.
If you missed the first round, do yourself a favor and check out our coverage from the floor. We've got a piece up titled "Cougs hammered out a season-best 61 kills and still needed every one," and that headline tells you everything about the kind of fight these players brought. They didn't cruise. They earned it, point by point, and they left the crowd in Bohler with something real to hang onto.
Pullman is still standing. The weather might be doing its usual thing, but inside that gym, it felt like fall in the Palouse for all the right reasons. The energy was there. The execution was there. And if day one is any measure, the rest of this tournament is going to be worth every minute of your attention.
We'll have more for you as day two wraps up, but for now, take a breath, Cougs. The home team is just getting started, and we're here for all of it.
Go Cougs.
