The Brookhaven Academy Lady Cougars dropped a tough 5-4 decision to the Amite School Center Lady Rebels on Senior Night Tuesday in MAIS softball action.

“What an amazing year with a talented group of seniors,” said BA coach Becky Flowers. “Things don’t always happen the way we plan and this season has been tough. Changing classifications, new schools joining MAIS, and a very tough district schedule has made for a very challenging year. But overall we competed in every game we played and for that I’m pleased.”

Prior to the recognition of the softball seniors, BA unveiled a new scoreboard. The scoreboard was purchased by Becky Vaughn Furlow in memory of her late husband Glen Vaughn. Vaughn was a former board member, parent and supporter of Brookhaven Academy for years.

The Lady Cougars concluded their softball season with a 12-15 record overall and finished with a 2-6 record in division play. BA will still host the MAIS South State AAA softball tournament this weekend at Hansel King Sportsplex.
