    The Lady Royals were district runners-up in 2005 – an awesome team!

    I agree Ms Green about the Lady Jay Royals. However, the coaches should have someone call in or email stats & photos to William at Northescambia. Also, WEARTV 3 should be notified. Every night, other teams were reported on channel 3 sportsduring playoffs ..but nothing on our Lady Jay Royals! I believe that the coaches need to do it Or appoint someone to. The girls work too hard not to get anymore recognition than they do!

    The Jay Lady Royals varsity basketball team, too, has done very good this season. I really wish they got a little more attention. They were victorious over Baker three times — yes, THREE TIMES, this season. They also made it into the regional playoffs, which has not occurred in quite some time for the Lady Royals. They really deserve a shout out. CONGRATULATIONS, GIRLS !!!!!
