The 2008 South Panola Lady Tigers Fast Pitch 5A State Championship team is seeking donations to pay for championship rings.  Each ring costs $220 and every player receives one.

The rings are not paid for yet, according to Lady Tiger head coach Ashleigh Hicks.  

Any business or individual person can donate to help pay for the rings. Last year they were paid for but this year money is still owed.

The rings are expected to arrive any day now, Hicks said.

There will be a banquet held to award each girl her ring. The date will be announced later.

The team won back-to-back State Championships.

“The girls are looking forward to getting them,” Hicks said.

You may donate money by contacting Hicks at South Panola High School or call her at 662-934-1133.
