Coosa coach Connie Guinn is a perfectionist —and her team is following suit.
By beating Temple 70-25 on Friday night, the Lady Eagles ended the regular season with a perfect record in the subregion and a perfect record on their home floor.
Hannah Graham and Robyn Foster scored 14 points apiece in the regular season finale for Coosa (21-2, 12-0), which will be the No. 1 seed from the South subregion at the region tournament.
Coosa will enter the tourney on a 14-game winning streak. The Lady Eagles have a bye to the quarterfinals, and will open tourney play on Thursday at Georgia Highlands.

Ieshia Alexander finished with 11 points and Maya Boyett had 10 for the Lady Eagles, who improved to 9-0 at home.
