Lawrence County

The Lady Cougars did something the school had never done in program history in 2018: they played for the state championship.

The Lady Cougars had played for, but never won, a South State championship in the early 2000s, but this year they advanced to the state championship series against Kosciusko after they defeated perennial power Newton County in a tight three-game series.

The Lady Cougars were led on the mound by senior pitcher Josey Nations, who threw all but one inning for the Lady Cougars in their postseason run.

At the plate, seniors Tyranesha Davis and Maddux Kirkland were the stars.

Davis had a two-out RBI single to extend Lawrence County’s season against Newton County, where if she got out the season would have ended right there.

Kirkland had a strong championship series against Kosciusko, posting four base hits for the Lady Cougars.
