Second Baptist School Magazine Feature: What a Winter
"What a great group of young women we were able to cheer for all year long," Second Baptist School Director of Athletics Mike Walker said. "This group was very talented. The combination of a quick back court and tough-hard working front court, our Eagles came together to get it done all year long. "While individual accomplishments are flattering, we are especially proud of this group of seniors who led by example, loved each other and made it to the TAPPS 5A Final Four three years in a row."
