We’re all Natchez High Lady Bulldog fans tonight as the team goes up against West Jones in Jackson.

The Lady Bulldogs, reigning MHSAA Class 5A champs, are working toward a back-to-back title, a task perhaps more difficult than their quest last year because of increased expectations.

This entire season, players, particularly seniors who want to end their high school careers as champs, have felt the pressure of increased expectations — from themselves and from family and friends.

It’s something that’s been a concern for NHS Lady Bulldogs coach Alphaka Moore.

We have every confidence our Lady Bulldogs, with a record thus far of 23-1, will bring home the state title again this year.

These young ladies have overcome many challenges put before them — on and off the court.

Lady Bulldogs, Natchez is solidly behind you as you travel to Jackson today to represent our city.

Win or lose, your community is proud of your accomplishments.
