What they’re saying

“They came out and they did exactly what they needed to do. After Tuesday's game I put a test to them. Although we came away with the win at Little River Academy it wasn't to the standard that we want it to be and they are well aware of that. For them to step on the field today and put five goals in the back of the net in the first half, that's the way it should look every time we step on the field.”

“This was a throw back to the first game of the season when there were five different goal scorers. I tell these girls all the time they have every ability in the world, and it's every single one of them. They play so well as a team. It's not just one person making all the goals, it's about who can step up and put it in the back of the net and a lot of them were able to do it tonight.”

The Lady Lions will travel to Stephenville on Tuesday, February 18th for a matchup between the two undefeated teams in District 5-4A. The winner will likely claim the district championship.

The takeaway

Brownwood's balanced scoring attack and dominant team performance showcased the depth and talent of the Lady Lions, who are poised to compete for the district title after an impressive start to the season.
