When the Jaguars buried South Davie 4-1 in last week’s championship game, the Jaguars had a perfect record for the second year in a row and an undefeated record for the third straight year. They went 9-0-1 in 2011, 12-0 in 2012 and 10-0 this year. They are 43-1-1 over the last four years.
Leah Reynolds, the first-year coach, had both the easiest and the toughest job in the county. Sure, she was loaded with talent. But on the flip side, one slip-up could make for a down year by Ellis standards.

“As a coach I feel like the team had some really fun times both at practices and during games. I won’t forget the feeling of the team winning that (championship) game and being so proud of the Ellis Lady Jags for having another undefeated season and letting me be apart of it.”
