Gordon Lee players celebrate their win over Randolph-Clay in the GHSA Class A public high school girls basketball championship Thursday, March 7, 2013, in Macon, Ga.CHICKAMAUGA, Ga. – There’s a lot of new bling being seen around Chickamauga in recent weeks – with more still to come.
Less than a week after winning the first basketball championship in the history of Gordon Lee High School, members of the title-winning girls’ team spent part of last Wednesday being sized for championship rings. It’s become a common sight at the Class A school, which now boasts a total of four team titles this school year.
“I told the guy from the ring company today that we’ve made a lot of money for them,” associate athletic director Greg Ellis joked. “Any time your school wins a championship it’s special, but to win four in one year?”
Before the girls’ basketball team upset top-seeded Randolph-Clay in the state title game, the wrestling team won both dual and traditional state championships and the ultra-successful softball team won its third consecutive title.
And it may not be over. The golf, track and tennis teams always are competitive, and the baseball team is ranked in the top five with what many believe is one of the school’s best teams ever.
