It was a disappointing year for the Copperas Cove Bulldawgs basketball team after missing the playoffs for the first time in four years but head coach Billy White Jr. knows that was because of circumstances and not effort.

 

The Bulldawgs finished the season with a 15-17 overall record and 5-7 in District 12-6a; just one game out of the playoffs in an extremely competitive District 12-6A.

 

“Our season didn’t go as we would have liked it to,” said White during the annual basketball banquet last Monday. “We ended up falling one game short of the playoffs this year, which broke our streak of going three-consecutive years. But, that has nothing to do with this group of guys right here – as far as their work ethic. These guys came out every day and gave us everything they had and we really appreciated that as coaches.”
