STATE SEMIFINALS: Frisco Liberty gears up for Richmond Randle
With an incredible regular season under their belt and a continued hot streak through the playoffs, the Frisco Liberty Lady Redhawks have found themselves at the biggest stage in Texas high school basketball: the UIL State Tournament.

Beginning their season with non-district victories over Frisco Panther Creek, North Forney, Frisco Reedy, Denton Braswell, DeSoto, Westlake, Riverdale Ridge, and more, the team was able to put forth an effort to showcase their ability to overcome any challenges that might get in their way. Proving their ability to learn from every moment on the court, this team has been a special one from the start.
Keyera Roseby, Aaliyah Williams, Judith Aluga, Lilian Johnson, Kathryn Murphy, Anaiah Warrior, and other talented athletes helped lead the Lady Redhawks to an undefeated 14-0 district record with strong victories over Lebanon Trail (49-7), Frisco Heritage (49-17), Walnut Grove (50-21), Frisco Emerson (54-17), and others. With the strong district run, it came as no surprise that the team secured such a strong entry to the playoffs.
Once in the playoffs, the Lady Redhawks defeated Carrollton Creekview, Hillcrest, Reedy, McKinney North, and Princeton en route to the state tournament. Geared up for success, the Lady Redhawks are prepared to take on a talented Richmond Randle (30-8) team. Be sure you catch this team in action as they look to secure their spot in the state title game! Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 29 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Pleasant, McKinney North, Wagner, and eventually Lubbock-Cooper to win the state title.
This Season So Far
Led by the likes of Alyssa Nayar, Keyera Roseby, Savannah McKeen, Sonja Mo, Kathryn Murphy, Christina Webb, Mara Casey, Lilian Johnson, Aaliyah Williams, Christal Webb, Maya Junior, and more, the team is returning a lot of phenomenal athletes to the court. With a 10-6 record through non-district play and a 3-0 start to their district schedule, the Lady Redhawks continue to showcase determination through each moment on the court. Defeating Frisco Reedy, Denton Braswell, Midway, DeSoto, Friso Lebanon Trail, and others this season, the team has proved that they are ready to get the job done again this season.
Fast-paced and ready for anything, fans can expect this team to put up another great season. Looking for their sixth state tournament appearance, Frisco Liberty is not a team that you're going to want to miss this season. Catch these ladies in action!
