β€œReaching my 300th win is a huge milestone, not just for me, but all of the players I’ve had the privilege of coaching and the coaches that I have had beside me,” said Weeks. β€œI have truly been blessed over the last 17 years with some very talented and hard-working young ladies who truly bought into a culture that I have established.”

Coach Weeks spent the previous 15 seasons as the Head Softball Coach at Troup, compiling a stellar record of 288-153-5 in her time as Head Coach. She racked up four regional quarterfinal appearances and a regional semifinal appearance while leading the Lady Tigers.

In 2025, she helped coach six players to all-district nods, including ReNaa Hicks (First Team), Haley Tucker and Vivian Williams (Second Team), and Aubrie Kirk, Ruby Byers, and Hadison Maxey (Honorable Mention).

β€œI am especially thankful for the current group of players I am leading this year,” said Weeks. β€œThey have been pouring into this program just as much as our staff and I have. Sharing my 300th win with them was a special moment for me.”
