Liberty Christian Lady Warriors braced for TAPPS State Semifinals
The TAPPS basketball state tournament is already back and the Dallas-Fort Worth area has plenty of teams representing. One of those teams is none other than the Argyle Liberty Christian Lady Warriors. After a hard-fought season, the Lady Warriors are more than prepared for the state semifinals. VYPE DFW dives into the team and what fans can expect:
A Look Back
Last season, the Liberty Christian Lady Warriors finished second in their district and made a playoff appearance. Giving everything they had, Liberty Christian posted a 73% win percentage and a 19-7 overall record while outscoring their opponents by a combined 408 points on the season. Using momentum from last season, the Lady Warriors were able to head into a brand new season with knowledge and skill on the court.
Opening preseason play with a four game win-streak, the Lady Warriors used preseason to prepare for a rigorous district schedule. Liberty Christian posted incredible victories against non-district opponents including Mansfield (55-20), Royse City (60-49), Joshua (57-31), Keller (36-29), Brock (44-28), Ursuline Academy (49-35), and more. On the high of a strong preseason, the Lady Warriors were prepared for anything in district play and proved this by posting an undefeated 7-0 district record to finish at the stop of their standings.
Playoffs & What To Expect
After outplaying their district opponents with victories over Midland Christian (56-19), Fort Worth Christian (67-32), Fort Worth All Saint's Episcopal (36-28), and more, the Lady Warriors have been putting in extra work in the postseason. So far in the playoffs, Liberty Christian has ended the seasons of Plano's Coram Deo Academy (69-15), and Grapevine Faith (42-38). Headed into the TAPPS State Semifinals having outscored their opponents this season by 654 points already, the Lady Warriors are looking to continue showing their strength on the court.
Energetic, alert, and fast-paced are three of the key factors that continue to power Liberty Christian toward success this season. An explosive offense that is able to score early and often to set the tone combined with alert defending and smart defensive plays can be expected as they take on Tyler Grace Community School in the TAPPS State Semifinals.
The Lady Warriors' semifinal game will be at University High School in Waco, Texas on Thursday, February 23rd with a tip-off time of 2 p.m.
PREVIEW: Liberty Christian Lady Warriors Dominating
On track for another successful season, the Argyle Liberty Christian School girls basketball team is putting in the work on the court to get the job done. Looking to go even further this season, the Lady Warriors are already on track to have one of their best seasons yet. Before they jump into district play, VYPE DFW takes a look at the team so far and what fans can expect as they push forward!
A Look Back
Last season, the Lady Warriors finished second in their district- just behind Fort Worth Nolan Catholic- with a 19-7 overall record (4-1 in district play). The team played hard and posted strong victories over the likes of North Crowley, Decatur, Krum Ursuline, Trinity Christian, Lubbock Cooper, and more during preseason play to set the tone for district. In district, the team lost only to Fort Worth Nolan Catholic in a hard-fought, 50-49 matchup. Through playoffs, the Lady Warriors put in hard work and played strong before entering off season ready to prepare for another great season.
2022-23 So Far
The Lady Warriors have already made a name for themselves through non-district play. The team opened the season with a four game win-streak against strong UIL teams like Mansfield (55-20), Royse City (60-49), Joshua (57-31), and Keller (36-29). After a loss to Mansfield Lake Ridge, the team regrouped and picked up right where they left off going on to defeat the likes of Brock (44-28), Mabank (34-1), Ursuline Academy (47-35), Trinity Christian (51-18), Celina (54-34), and more.
The team has only lost four games so far this season while outscoring their opponents by nearly 300 points. With incredible offense getting the job done backed up by a defense that never quits, the Lady Warriors are entering district play on a six game win streak. Liberty Christian looks to open up district play at Southwest Christian School in Fort Worth on January 6, 2023 at 6 p.m.
What to Expect
The Lady Warriors have been showing their improvement through the offseason. More than that, though, they have shown their grit and determination on the court. With the willingness and drive to have one of their best seasons yet, fans can expect to see the Lady Warriors take everything they have learned from pre-district play and bring it to the court ready to set the tone in every single game.
As the team gears up to face the likes of Midland Christian, Fort Worth Christian, Fort Worth All Saints Episcopal School, and more, be sure you catch them in action. Their swiftness on the court isn't something you're going to want to miss this season.
