Jr. Lady Rebels clench first Conference Championship in nearly thirty years

The Highland Junior Lady Rebels went un-defeated in Conference and won their District Tournament on Feb. 11. This amazing accomplishment was one the ladies have not reached for nearly three decades. There were so many milestones this year for these young ladies. Last time the team accomplished this goal and went undefeated was in 1997 when eighth grade player Macy Daggett’s mother, Michelle Burton Daggett was also in eighth grade when they went undefeated and also won the conference championship. These young ladies have four more years to play and improve. A state championship may be part of their future. The Junior Lady Rebels are coached by Cecil and Lindsley Meyer. Cecil is a Highland graduate who has led Thayer to several championships. This is the Meyer’s second year coaching both the Highland Lady Rebels and Junior Rebels.
