There is only one first time. That is what the eleven young ladies of the Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School softball team enjoyed on Thursday evening when the young Lady Tigers beat Mansfield Middle School 7-5 for the first victory in the history of the program. 

It was a total team effort for head coach Geneice Levingston’s squad with special mention going to Aubree Jackson, who drove in the winning runs with a clutch single, and Rosemary Williams, striking out five to earn the win in the circle.  

Next Up! JHMS will look for their second win of the season when play at Mansfield Middle School again on November 5th. Game time is set for 4:00 pm. The next home game for the youthful Lady Tigers will be on November 13th when they host Union Junior High (Farmerville) at the JHHS softball field located on Thrasher Road in Jonesboro.
