The road sign near the top of Signal Mountain seems to change every year.
The letters declare every state high school golf championship that Signal Mountain’s Lady Eagles have won. That’s five of the last six years, resulting in high maintenance for the sign makers.

The Lady Eagles will play in the Class A/AA state tournament today and Wednesday at Willowbrook Golf Course in Manchester. Signal Mountain is seeded No. 3 based on region tournament scores.
“They seem to be pretty happy and pretty loose,” coach Rodney Mitchell said of senior Bethany Burns and sophomore Taylor Gardner in addition to Haley Buttram. “We’re happy to be here. If we have a chance to play for it, wer’re going to go for it.”
