We proudly induct Krista Seckinger into our hallowed hall.

Krista Seckinger's legacy is etched in the annals of Ridgeland sports, primarily through her remarkable tenure as the head softball coach from 1989 to 1992. In just four years, she transformed the Lady Panthers into a powerhouse, culminating in an extraordinary 1989 season that saw them capture both the region and state championships.

The success continued in 1990, with another region championship and a third-place finish at the state level, solidifying her reputation as a master strategist. Her dedication and expertise were once again recognized with the Region Coach of the Year award. Then, in 1991, she led the Lady Panthers to another remarkable feat, securing both the region and state championships once more, and earning the coveted GACA AAA State Coach of the Year and Region Coach of the Year awards.

Beyond softball, Krista Seckinger's influence extended to multiple sports. She served as the girls' track coach from 1992 to 1998, and as the cross-country coach from 1993 to 1996, where she guided the girls' team to a region championship in 1993. Her commitment to developing well-rounded athletes was further demonstrated through her role as the assistant girls' basketball coach and JV coach from 1989 to 1994.
