One thing is for sure, our Varsity Softball team set out at the beginning of the season to make school history and they sure accomplished their goal. The seniors on this team have been on quite a journey starting in 1A private their freshman year, then moving up to compete the last two years in 4A, and now in 2-3A.

This team of outstanding student athletes led by strong leadership from the eight seniors worked together and secured the most wins for any TCS softball team with 21 wins. They also added Region Champions to the list of accolades they achieved this Fall making TCS history. And to add to the long list of accomplishments this team has achieved this season, they made their first GHSA Elite 8 softball debut in Columbus, Georgia.

They took on Mount Paran and won 13-8 in a most memorable game. Sadly a 9-6 loss against Prince Avenue forced them into an elimination game against Wesleyan. However, they made it further than any softball team at TCS ever has.

Our Lady Lions have raised the bar for future teams with record wins, earning a Region championship and their first trip to Columbus. And this won’t be the last of we see of our seniors on the field. Many of these outstanding student athletes are signing this month to play college ball including Cacie Cutright and Kayden Harrison. And the momentum continues as both our players as well as head coach Tommy Gregg receive awards for 2024 Region 2AAA recognitions. Thank you Lady Lions for allowing us all to go on this incredible journey with you this season. We pray for great things next year and can’t wait to see what God has in store for 2025!
