Just wanted to give a BIG shout out to our Lady Warriors for great season. Once again they made it to the Area playoff game....and once again they had to play Brazos Christian.....unfortunately, once again, they fell 2 games shy of the State Tournament.
After a convincing victory in Sugarland, the battered Lady Warriors made the 5 hour journey to College Station to play the Lady Eagles of Bryan, Brazos Christian School. After staying close for the first 3 quarters, the Lady Eagles pulled away winning by a score of 52 - 31.
To say that the year has been a challenge for these young ladies would be an understatement. However, with heart felt determination, they stayed the course, worked hard, and made what could have been a season of defeat, turn into a season of great personal & team successes. What speaks most of this team is their character and attitude. Gracious in victory and poised even in defeat!
That's hard to find in sports these days - you've all earn my respect!

Bi-District Boys Basketball
As you know, the boys were defeated in Houston last Friday night by the Eagles of Texas Christian School. It was a hard fought game and your Warriors hung in for the first two quarters. Unfortunately, our opponents were too much in the end and we lost 94 to 69. It was a great learning experience for us all!
I was most pleased by the fact that we never quit. From start to finish, we played with our whole hearts, and for that, I am very proud of our young men. I had a coach tell me once that you can probably learn more from a loss than you can from a win. While that might be true, it is hard to know or measure the lessons learned from a loss until you are far enough removed from it to see clearly. My hope is that these young men will leave my team with the "stuff" they will need to succeed in life. By the looks of how they handled themselves on the court Friday night, and immediately after the game, they are well on their way! In spite of the loss, the character they demonstrated after the game is what makes me most proud. Apparently, Warrior pride is alive and well!
