Longhorn Nation -- The softball team is State Bound!
Recap: Over the last week and a half, your Lady Longhorns softball team has been putting in the innings and reaping the rewards. Last Thursday and Friday, they played at the district tournament where they posted wins tallying 13-3 v. Jasper and 4-2 v. Norfork to clinch the 2026 District Tournament Championship title. The Lady Longhorns moved on to the Regional tournament at Mulberry where they beat Mulberry 20-0 in the first round, then moved on to a thriller against County Line where the girls collected 7 hits in 6 runs scored for a final score of 6-2. In this outing, Junior, Avery Rogers accumulated her 101st strikeout for the season. In the Regional Championship game, the team faced a stacked Scranton lineup where they fell 0-11 and were named the 2026 1A-1 Regional Runner Up.
This week, the girls depart for the state tournament where they are slated to play Thursday at 12:30 against Sacred Heart at University of Ozarks in Clarksville, hosted by Scranton. Details of a state send off on Wednesday will be released in a later post.
We are so proud of our girls and their strong performance so far this season! Wish them good luck this week as they continue their hunt for a state championship!

Viola High School student-athletes will have the opportunity to receive their sports physicals on Wednesday, May 13.
All required forms must be completed and returned by Friday, May 8, 2026. Our provider, 1st Choice in Salem, has informed us that incomplete forms cannot be accepted. Students with missing information on their forms will not be able to receive their physical.
The forms are being sent home with students today, or they can be picked up in the High School office. Please review the form carefully, complete every section, and double-check all information before turning it in. Thank you for helping us make this process smooth and efficient for all students.
Today we celebrate the heart of student care at Viola Schools—our amazing school nurse, Paige Ledford, RN. From caring for bumps and bruises to supporting the overall health and well-being of our students, Nurse Paige goes above and beyond every single day.
Her compassion, dedication, and commitment make a difference in the lives of our students and staff alike. We are so grateful to have her as part of our school family!
Thank you, Nurse Paige, for all you do!
