Five More Lady Tigers Sign for College

Five Lady Tigers in three sports have signed letters of intent to extend their sports careers into college.

Alexis Edwards signed to play basketball with Southwest Baptist University. Edwards helped lead the Lady Tigers to the state quarterfinals last season, and will anchor the interior for Republic when she returns to the lineup after recovering from an offseason injury.

Three Republic volleyball players. Libero Mallory Long signed to play at Drury University, Nicole Hallam signed with Lindenwood University, and Briana Goforth will join Edwards at Southwest Baptist. All three players were part of the Republic volleyball program during one of its most successful stretches ever, including trips to the state quarterfinals twice in the past three seasons.

Softball player Breanna Hemphill also signed a letter of intent to play  at Southwest Baptist. She was part of back-to-back Final Four runs for the Lady Tigers during her career at Republic.
