Champs! After the Lady Eagles won the 14-5A District Championship they had more work to do. On February 20, 1982, they played Lufkin High School for the Bi-District title. Recovering from a second quarter deficit of nine points, the team claimed a 27-25 lead in the third quarter after a three-point play by Kaylor Brantley. After playing a rough fourth quarter, the final score was 52-41, and the Lady Eagles claimed the Bi-District crown. The next opponent on the list was Spring Westfield in a battle for the area title. After a hard fought game, the team succumbed in one of their few losses with a score of 58-47. Coach Berrier said, I'Westfield hard- ly missed a shot, and you just can't beat a team like that. Under the cir- cumstances, I think we did really well. As a result of this game, the Lady Eagles finished the season as Bi- District Champions, and were rated as one of the top 32 teams in Texas.
