Past & Present Lion's

On the road to regionals

After knocking off rival Chiles in the District Tournament, the Lady Lions qualified for another trip to the FHSAA Regional Tournament, where they traveled to face Niceville High on Feb. 14, 2019. Our young team, featuring only one senior, came up short in the Regional, but the ladies and coaches once again represented Leon High School with great class and dignity.

The Lady Lions stop for a break en route to Niceville for the 2019 Regional Playoffs.

Amina Rutherford, Lily President and Alexa Schoffel pick up their Valentine's Day goody bags for the trip.

After arriving in Niceville, the Lady Lions enjoyed a quiet break by the bay before heading over to the gym.

Even though we rode in style in a chartered bus, the break was nice to stretch our legs and enjoy some team bonding.

lady lions' locker room gets a facelift

The Lady Lions would like to thank Leon High School Athletics Director Mark Feely, Principal Billy Epting, Superintendent of Schools Rocky Hanna and the Leon County school board for providing additional funding to school activities throughout the county this year. Under the direction of head coach Bruce Daniels, the Lady Lions used our share of the funding to provide much-needed renovations to our locker room. Included in the project were a new mat with a Lady Lions Basketball logo, new stools for the players, and new nameplates for each individual locker.
