Fannin County Softball has a very young team. But don’t tell that to new Fannin County Softball Coach Morgan Helton and the Lady Rebels Softball team.

Coach Helton spent the last season as the Middle School Softball Head Coach and had a tremendous amount of success. The girls have completely bought into her coaching and leadership and its showing on the field.
