Coach Foster 1/19/12 – We are in our third week of competition and are looking for our first victory. Although we have faced tough opponents we continue to have great energy and mental toughness and we are sure to get our first victory.
 
For the Lady Eagles, Tonia Davis is our leading scorer and continues to light up the court. We are also led by Abby Morales with her great offensive rebounds and punishing defense that often lead offenders frustrated because of her shot blocking abilities. She leads teams with 9 block and 15 rebounds. 
 
Our Boys team has also yet to find a victory. We have had strong performances by Sr. Thomas Walker he scored 12 point in Tuesdays match against Kerens who are currently ranked #12 in the State of Texas. Raul Pedraza also has had to great games and his averaging 4 assist a game.
 
 
Coach Foster 1/23/12 – We are pleased to announce that our Middle school boys won their first game17-14  in district last Thursday 1/19/12 against our sister campus Rowlett. Our middle school girls lost but continued to give great effort and sportsmanship every game. The boys record is now 1-4.
