Half time of the Peabody-Huntingdon girls game

Jessica starred on a Peabody Lady Tide team that qualified for the state tournament in all four years of her high school career (2002-2005). In those four appearances, Peabody won two state championships, finished second once, and never failed to win at least one game.
Jessica was named the tournaments MVP in 2003 and won the TSSAA Miss Basketball award in 2005. Upon graduation, she signed a scholarship with Belmont College in Nashville, where she had an outstanding career while earning her degree in nursing.
Please join us as we show our appreciation for one of Peabody's greatest.
