Friday, February 6, 2026 | The Lion’s Den
This night is bigger than basketball.
Before the final buzzer sounds, Lithia Springs High School will honor a true legend as the Lady Lions face New Manchester and formally retire the jersey of Demeara Hinds, Class of 2020—a player who didn’t just play the game, she set the standard.
The only Lady Lion in school history to reach 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, Demeara finished her career as the all-time rebound leader (1,094) and shot-block leader (245), defining an era with toughness, leadership, and relentless effort. When the moment mattered most, she delivered - leading championship runs, historic performances, and a young team to unforgettable wins.
From the Lion’s Den to the ACC, Demeara’s journey represents what’s possible when preparation meets purpose.
The jersey retirement ceremony will take place immediately following the varsity girls game. Alumni, students, families, and the community are invited to pack the Den and celebrate No. 25, forever a Lady Lion, forever a legend.
Purchase Tickets - Tickets for the game can be purchased at the following link: https://gofan.co/event/5413337?schoolId=GA5121
Be there. History will be made.
Here’s what’s ahead for our Lions this week. Mark your calendars and come pack the stands!
🏀 Tuesday – Basketball vs. Alexander (HOME)
🎯 Thursday – Rifle vs. South Cobb (HOME)
🏀 Friday – Basketball vs. New Manchester (HOME)
⚽ Friday – Soccer at Pebblebrook
Let’s show up, show out, and show our Lion pride all week long!

☀️ DCSS to Reopen Tuesday Following Winter Weather Closure
The Douglas County School System and the Douglas County Emergency Management Agency have been closely monitoring weather and road conditions over the past several days. The winter weather event that caused Monday's closure has moved out of our area, and safer road conditions have returned.
As a result, all schools and offices will resume normal operations on Tuesday, January 27, 2026.
All regular schedules, including before- and after-school activities, will operate as normal. Our administrators and the district operations department will continue to monitor conditions at all schools and will alert us immediately if conditions change.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritized the safety of our students and staff. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow.
☀️ Asunto: El DCSS abrirá el martes después del cierre del Clima Invernal
El Sistema Escolar del Condado de Douglas y la Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Douglas han estado monitoreando de cerca las condiciones climáticas y las carreteras durante los últimos días. El evento de clima invernal que causó el cierre del lunes se ha desplazado fuera de nuestra zona, y las condiciones de seguridad vial han regresado.
Como resultado, todas las escuelas y oficinas reanudarán sus operaciones normales el martes 27 de enero del 2026.
Todos los horarios regulares, incluyendo las actividades de antes y después de la escuela, funcionarán normalmente. Nuestros administradores y el departamento de operaciones del distrito continuarán monitoreando las condiciones en todas las escuelas y nos alertarán inmediatamente si las condiciones cambian.
Agradecemos sinceramente su paciencia y comprensión mientras priorizamos la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Esperamos darles la bienvenida mañana.

The Douglas County School System expects to have a decision made by 5 p.m. when possible about any changes to the following school day or adjustments to after-school activities or athletic events. If necessary, we will provide an additional update by 9 p.m. that night. If road conditions change overnight, expect an additional communication by 5 a.m.
