    The Lady Rebel travel softball team, made up of softball players from the Copper Basin, Murphy, Hiwassee Dam and Andrews area, competed in Cleveland, Tennessee, June 25 through 28, and were able to bring home the World Series.

    The Lady Rebels started the day Saturday with a loss and was put into the loser’s bracket.

    The Lady Rebels kept composure, however, and rallied back Sunday to win four games and win the Championship.

    The Rebels lost to Team Attack Saturday, but was able to top team Khaos 5-3 in the first game on Sunday. 

    The Rebels faced Team Attack and were able to win 7-2 to advance to the Championship game.

    The Lady Rebels had to beat Alliance twice to be crowned champions, and that is  just what they did, beating Alliance 7-1 in the first game and 4-3 in the second game.

    Sydney Payne slid into home for the game winning run for the Lady  Rebels, while Kaitlyn Goode and Lauren Brooks combined for only four runs in the two championship games. The team showed great effort on defense for the win as the Lady Rebels came home with the championship.
