Staff Writer
There is the saying that All good things must come to an end but that may be just a little bit of an understatement as the Lady Pirate season came to a close last week in the Regional Quarterfinals. The saying should go, All great things must come to an end.
As Head Coach Lori Wilson stated, “What a year and what a season these 8 girls, or, as I refer to as The FAB 8, have had representing LHS and their community. They were your 4-Peat District Champs, Bi-District Champs, and Area Champs for 2024 and collected three more gold balls for the trophy case!”

“Our last game of this incredible season will…
