    On Monday, September 16th, the CPS Lady Rebels beat the Centreville Lady Tigers in a nail biter that propelled them to a slot in the MAIS South State Tournament in Liberty, Mississippi on Saturday, September 21st.
    The Lady Rebels played a strong game and battled to the end, hanging on to a one run lead and beating the Lady Tigers 6 to 5 in the top of the 7th inning.  The Lady Rebels celebrated as the student fans leaped over the fence in centerfield to come join the pileup on the field.  In their first year at CPS, Coach Shelly Cothell and Assistant Coach Luke Hopkins have brought the girls to the South State Tournament for the first time since the Fall of 2005.
