🐅 A Season for the Record Books! 🐅

It’s taken a few weeks to process, but I couldn’t be prouder of the Festus Lady Tigers and their historic "statement" season. This group didn't just play; they rewrote the record books.

🏀 The Highlights:

Back-to-Back 20-Win Seasons: A first in school history.

New Wins Record: Finished 23-7, setting a new single-season school record.

Tournament Sweeps: Champions of the DeSoto Tournament and the prestigious Park Hill Christmas Tournament.

Elite Competition: Logged statement wins against Farmington, Central, and North County, as well as two District Champions.

State Ranked: Finished the year Ranked #6 in all of Class 5.

🏆 The Perfect Finish:

There’s no better exclamation point than winning the District Championship against a tough 24-win Hillsboro team.

🎓 To Our Seniors:

Alyzah Scaggs, Olivia Madden, Addi Smith, Lexi Turner, and Avery Schmitt—you are the heartbeat of this program. Thank you for the heart you poured into this jersey and the legacy of excellence you leave behind.

❤️ To Our Community:

To the parents and fans: your endless support on the road and in the stands made this journey possible. These trophies belong to all of us.

It was an unbelievable ride. So proud to be a Tiger! 🐅🏀
