The Republic Lady Tigers will celebrate the anniversaries of two state championships Thursday night. The 1994 state champions will return to mark the 20th anniversary of their title, and the 2004 team will be back for their 10th anniversary.
The ’94 team was the first Lady Tigers squad to win a state championship (in Class 3A). They went 31-1, with their only loss to the 4A state runners-up, Kickapoo.
The 2004 team went 24-7, beating Duchesne in the Class 4 state championship game to clinch the title.
Both teams will be honored Thursday night at Republic High School as the Lady Tigers face Nixa in a key Central Ozark Conference matchup.
