Calling the Rose Bud Lady Ramblers repeat champions doesn’t seem to do them justice. Five-peat could be used. Although at some point it seems more of a “pack” than a “peat” considering they have won five consectuive Greers Ferry Lake Classic titles. Call it the five-pack, five-peat or whatever, but it’s a sure bet Coach Mandy Goodwin enjoys packing the trophy case each holiday season.
