The Prosper Lady Eagles have shown their resiliency while posting a 10-2 district record to finish in a three-way tie for first place in their district. Another proven defensive force, the Lady Eagles have held their opponents to only 69 runs while scoring 271 runs themselves on the season - 202 more than their opponents.
Although Prosper has a handful of losses in their record this season, after each loss the team has shown how well they can regroup and be stronger than ever. Prosper has posted huge wins over the likes of Denton Braswell, McKinney, McKinney Boyd, and more en route to the playoffs.
After sweeping Fort Worth Boswell in two games last week (6-1, 3-0), the Lady Eagles enter the Regional Finals on a 14 game win streak. The high of the current win streak might be enough to fuel Prosper's fire to advance to the state championship game.
