🎉 Congratulations to the Newberry Middle School Lady Tigers! 🐯🏐
On October 2, 2025, the Lady Tigers closed out their regular season home schedule with an impressive 3-0 victory over Sandhills Middle School (feeder school to Swansea High School). The team played with heart, skill, and determination — a true testament to their hard work this season!
The evening was made even more special as it was 8th Grade Recognition Night, honoring our amazing 8th-grade athletes for their dedication and leadership throughout the season.
👏 Way to go, Lady Tigers! We’re proud of you!
