HOW TO HELPAnyone who wishes to donate to the indoor batting cage and practice facility may call Gordon Lee High School at 706-382-3100. Press ext. 3, then ext. 4.
The girls softball team at Gordon Lee High School made history in 2010 with the first undefeated season, 38-0, in Georgia High School Association fastpitch history.
Yet the champion Lady Trojans lacked a locker room at their ballfield, which is on Crittenden Avenue a distance away from the historic high school’s campus in downtown Chickamauga.
But change is coming. Construction is under way on an indoor facility with batting cages, space to practice pitching and fielding and an equipment storage room in which Chickamauga players can change clothes.
“A big thing is, the kids are going to have somewhere to change before practice,” said softball coach Dana Mull, who led her team to back-to-back Class A state championships in 2010 and 2011. “Some of them, they’ll park around the corner and change in their car.”
