SHENANDOAH JUNCTION — In its first 11 games of the 2019-2020 season, Jefferson High School registered wins over three public schools — Woodgrove, Hampshire and South Hagerstown — and turned to the last part of the season, with an overall record of 6-5.

The Cougars had a game against Martinsburg postponed and have re-scheduled that home date for Feb. 25 in Shenandoah Junction.

After falling, 78-53, to Millbrook in Winchester toward the end of the 2019 portion of the schedule, the Cougars defeated Hampshire, 71-64, on the road in Romney.

A 71-53 win in Keymar, Md. over Silver Oak Academy preceded a 63-59 loss to Musselman High School in Shenandoah Junction.

Another close loss — this time a home-court, 62-53, verdict to Millbrook — was closely followed by a 65-61 win over South Hagerstown on Jefferson’s home court.
