The Lady Jackets traveled to Quitman last Tuesday for a double header against Brooks County, winning 18-0 and 13-0. Thursday in Hazlehurst they fell 4-0 to region-leading Cook High School. Monday they hosted Wilcox County and rolled to a 12-0 win.
In the 1st game against Brooks, Briley Reagin threw a 3-inning perfect game, retiring all 9 batters she faced, 7 by strikeout. Only 2 pitches were hit into fair territory, one to the pitchers mound and the other to 2nd base.
