Cochran, GA - Our summer interview series returns as we ask our Knights head coaches to take a moment and reflect on the past season as well as look at the upcoming season and give us their thoughts. If you are new to the series, we ask our coaches a few questions about the past season and the upcoming season and to share some of their thoughts. Our next coach is
Anderson Ligon, our Women's Basketball coach.
- How do you feel your previous season went?
Honestly, last year did not go as well as expected. We struggled accomplishing several team goals and our season was interrupted three times due to COVID-19. We could not get in a rhythm playing the games on our schedule. We finished the season with an overall 8-12 record.

- What are your expectations for the upcoming season?
We are optimistically excited about the expectations for the upcoming season. We are looking forward to building an extremely competitive team with all stakeholders. Some important goals to strive for and achieve will be to embrace the mindset of sacrifice and strong work ethic before, during and after the season. Each year at MGA, our expectation is to win championships. This upcoming season is no exception.
