Girls Basketball Updates by: Andrea Puente
All Great Things Come To A End
Season has ended for the lady jackets but, there is nothing to be sad about because these girls have achieved so much this season! Here are there achievements : 1st place at the Charlotte tournament, SWTJC Champions, and being undefeated District Champs! And lastly being Area Champions! Even though they lost against Medina in regional quater finals the Lady Jackets have broken all expectations for this season. They have rose to the top and got everything they deserved they did not settle for less. The fans have a great support coming to everygame getting mad at the reffs for calls they thought were wrong. They have cheered us on in everyway possible. Our fans are the best I know in the beginning of the game I always look up at the stands and I am rarely disapointed because I see so many people from our little town. Coach Carter and Coach Coker have been great motivaors for the Lady Jackets always pushing them to the best of thier ability and I know it is because they want to see the girls suceed in basketball. The seniors of this year Maricela Torres and Ericka Torres will be greatly missed they really have showed great leadership this season and never gave up on the team always believing in each and everyone of thier players. This season has been a great one for the Lady Jackets! Good Luck to the boys who are still competing!

Area Champs!
They Lady Jackets are still going strong! They faced Port A this thursday (Feb. 16) and they played to the fullest! The game was intense neither team didn't get a big lead in the quarters. Sabinal and Port A scores were only two points ahead or down for most of the game. Then as the clock ticked down to a minute and a half Sabinal was down by 5 points. The girls didn't give up no matter the time they fought harder! Maricela made the three pointer to catch up then Ericka got fouled and made her free throws, then Jordan Juarez made a lay-up. Once that was done the Lady Jackets were in the Lead. Port A was down by three with seven seconds to go. The Lady Jackets pressed Port A which led to a lay-up but, didn't win them the game. The Lady Jackets celebrated as the fans cheered for their accomplishments. After the game both teams got in a huddle and came into prayer. The Lady Jackets are still in it to win it! Thanks goes out to everyone who supported the girls its a great feeling to see how much support can come out from such a small town!!! Congrats to the Lady Jackets for the W!!!!!!!! Keep up the hard work Girls!!!

Time for District!
The Sabinal Lady Jackets are 3-0 in district. Their first District win was a home game against the Charlotte Trojans. The score was 51 - 49 very close game. Next, also at a home game, they played against Brackett with the Lady Jackets taking the win. The ladies also played against Gervin, and even though it wasn't a district game, the Lady Jackets won. Then there came D'hanis. This last one was tough! It was pretty even play throughout the 1-3 quarter, then in the last few minutes of 4th quarter the Lady Jackets took a 10 point lead. Next game is here Lady Jackets vs. Stacey. Please come out and support.

History Finally Repeats Itself!
The Lady Jackets and the Jackets got 1st the SWTJC Tournament!!!! The Lady Jackets fought hard with the last two games and now they are the SWTJC Champions, a title they have not held since 1974. The teams they beat to get there included Brackett, Nueces Canyon, and the defending champs from last year, the Lady Rockcrushers from Knippa. All the games were great with up-beat energy from the Lady Jackets. Nueces Canyon and Kinippa were exciting games and the lady Jackets won by a narrow score. Great Job Lady Jackets! The next game is @ Nueces Canyon. Please come out and support!!

Lady Jackets
Here comes another great season of Lady Jacket Basketball. The Lady Jackets played their first game on Nov. 18 against Hondo in Hondo where they faced the JV team. Since there are only twelve girls playing for Sabinal this season, there is no JV team only Varsity. Our 2011-12 season starters are Ericka Torres (senior), Maricela Torres (senior), Andrea Puente (junior), Celeste Navarro (sophmore), and Jordan Juarez (sophmore). Hondo's game was very intense and the scores were close at half time. The game went into overtime but, unfortunately the Lady Jackets lost by four. The game was great and the Lady Jackets fought hard. Ericka Torres made 27 points that game which is a outstanding way to start off her season!
