Mallory and Emily Akins will join the Tiger softball team following the conclusion of their senior seasons. Both have been members of the Cougar softball squad since their sophomore years.

Crawford follows the footsteps of his older brother, Brett, who is currently in his second season running for the Tigers. Both Crawfords won 3rd Region Cross Country individual titles while running for the Cougars.
Tiger coach Hillary Lakes and assistant Dylan Ford were in the GCHS library for the signing. Ford was enthusiastic about the Tiger program and about signing another top runner after finishing third in the nation this past season.
