Back on Track: Lady Dragons poised for epic season
Last season the Lady Dragons competed at a high level of play. This season, they're back on track to continue putting up big moments on the hardwood. VYPE DFW takes a look at the team!
Rewind
With a 31-4 overall record (14-0 in district play), the Southlake Carroll Lady Dragons basketball squad had an impeccable season last year. Defeating plenty of high-quality opponents such as Flower Mound Marcus, Colleyville Heritage, Plano, Crowley, Keller, Prosper, Byron Nelson, V.R. Eaton, and more through their regular season schedule, the Lady Dragons were able to enter the playoffs nearly unscathed. In playoffs, the Dragons had a great run as they took out Euless Trinity, Eastwood, and North Crowley before eventually falling in a hard-fought battle against a tough Coppell team.
This Season So Far
With strength in numbers returning to their roster this season, Southlake Carroll has incredible student-athlete leaders such as Milania Jordan, Ava Anderson, Kaitlyn Knaub, Taryn Barnes, Lexi Schneider, Cassie Chambers, and more. The team joined the season ready to dominate the court again-- opening their season with a five-game win streak over Highland Park, Lubbock-Cooper, Plano, Saginaw, and Crowley. After securing several non-district victories, the Dragons opened district play with three dominant victories over Timber Creek, Keller, and Keller Central.
Over the holiday break, the team sharpened their skill in tournament play where they posted a couple of victories and a few losses. Learning from every moment and able to showcase incredible resilience, this team can be expected to remain dominant as they return to district play on Friday, January 5th against V.R. Eaton. Looking for another strong playoff run, be sure you catch this squad in action before the regular season is over!
