awards for the Lady Lions was the selection of four Academic All

a 3.5 grade point average and be classified as at least a junior. Those
selected were Stephanie Asbury, Hannah Daniel, Jana Pierce, and
Michelle Monroe of Franklin County. Along with these Maya Fouch and
Leeann Segers of Hartwell also made the SSAC All Academic Team.
Coach Mike Bona was also selected by the coaches as
Regional Coach of the Year. When asked about this years strong finish
Head Coach Mike Bona stated,” This year has been a real learning
experience for our entire team. What has been encouraging is how we
continued to learn, grow, and improve all the way to our final game.
These girls never gave up or gave in and kept working to the very end
and it paid off with our strong finish. We are already excited about
next year and hope to use this finish as a springboard as we begin to
prepare for next season.”
Excited the Lady Lions should be as they return
all five starters and only lose three seniors to graduation. It appears
that the Lady Lion successful tradition of the past has returned and
looks to get even stronger next year. GO LADY LIONS!
