The Claiborne Lady Rebels wrapped up yet another impressive season, marking the fourth consecutive year they advanced to the final day of the State Tournament. Despite losing three seniors from last year’s squad, several underclassmen stepped up to fill key roles in the lineup.
The team dominated in district play, finishing as undefeated district champions and outscoring their opponents by a staggering 124 to 5. Following their district success, they hosted the South State Tournament at the Ouachita Sportsplex in Monroe, LA. With solid victories over Briarfield
Academy and Humphreys Academy, the Lady Rebels earned their spot at the State Tournament in Magee, MS.
After finishing day one of the state tournament with a 2-1 record, they started the final day strong with a big win over Calhoun Academy. They narrowly missed a spot in the championship series, ultimately finishing in a well-earned third place.
