What they’re saying

“It was fun getting everybody involved tonight. Starting the seniors, they started off with a lot of grit. We got the looks we wanted, but they just weren't falling. But part of that is because they were so ready to play. The energy in the room was electric with the band and the cheerleaders and then having the little dribblers here at halftime. It was a great environment and it's a night that these young ladies will never forget as long as they live. And securing a back-to-back district championship, what a great feeling that is.”

This victory highlights the resilience and clutch shooting ability of the Tyler Legacy girls basketball team, who overcame an early deficit to clinch at least a share of their second straight district championship in a tough 10-6A conference.
