What a big night for the Lady Cats. With a solid 59-38 win at home over Longview Friday evening, January 29, the Lady Cats won a part of the district basketball championship with Hallsville and Mount Pleasant.
Because of having the best head-to-head record against the other two teams, the Lady Cats will go into the playoffs as the #1 seed from District 15-5A. Mount Pleasant is the #2 seed, Hallsville the #3 seed and Texas High is the #4 seed. The top three teams all ended the district campaign with 9-3 records.
The Lady Cats are 15-7 for the season. They will play the #4 seed in district 16-5A in a bi-district playoff game sometime between February 11 and February 13.
