Sonoraville High School Lady Phoenix softball head coach Chad Hayes is going for career win #300 tonight as SHS travels to Murray County. Some of the players were willing to stop for a moment to take a photo before loading up for the game.
The Lady Phoenix defeated Murray County 7 -1 earlier this season and will look to keep their winning streak going after recent shutout victories over Ringgold and LaFayette at home.
First pitch is set for 5:30 PM. Good luck to Coach Hayes and the Lady Phoenix as the defending state champions chase another big milestone!

Attention Senior Parents: Please plan to attend. We will discuss important information regarding senior year and what you and your senior should be doing.
❤️A Little Box. A Powerful Reminder. You Are Not Alone. ❤️
Our Early Childhood Education students have been busy preparing Anchor Boxes that will soon be placed in classrooms throughout our school.
Each box is filled with encouraging messages, grounding and coping tools, and reminders that even on the hardest days, there is always something, and someone to hold on to.
Students who are struggling can use an Anchor Box when they need a moment to regroup, find encouragement, and connect with support. They can also leave a message behind for the next student who may need it.
One student helping another.
One message saying, “Keep going.”
One reminder that you matter, you are valued, and you belong here.
If you would like to help write messages to our students struggling, please contact Mrs. Townsend, mollytownsend@gcbe.org.
We are so proud of our students for helping create a culture where it’s okay to struggle, okay to ask for help, and important to look out for one another.
