“One Week to Tip-Off: Edgewood Lady Panthers Set for Augusta Showdown”

“Every game is a chance to show who we are — and this week, we show it in Augusta.” — James A. Hamphill

One Week to Tip-Off: Edgewood Lady Panthers Head to Augusta

The countdown is on. In just seven days, the Edgewood Lady Panthers will step onto the court in Augusta, Georgia, for what promises to be one of the most exciting matchups of the season. For our organization, this moment is bigger than basketball — it’s a milestone in a journey built on hard work, community support, and the belief that opportunity creates legacy.

A Team Built on Purpose

The Lady Panthers aren’t just competing for wins. Every practice, every contract signed, every hour invested by our players and coaching staff reflects a larger mission: showing young women in our community what’s possible when talent meets discipline. As we prepare for Augusta, that mission stays front and center. This isn’t just a road trip — it’s a representation of Edgewood, Ninety Six, and everyone who has supported this team from day one.

Why Augusta Matters

Road games test a team in ways home games never can. New environments, unfamiliar courts, and the pressure of representing your city away from home all add up. For the Lady Panthers, Augusta is an opportunity to prove that the culture we’ve built travels with us — that discipline, teamwork, and heart don’t stay behind when we leave South Carolina. It’s a chance to grow as a team and return home stronger, regardless of the final score.
