Finishing their sea- son with an overall record of 7 wins and 4 losses and a district record of 5 wins and 2 losses, the Lady Tigers got their place in district.

Playoffs are definitely in the picture for next year,” Coach Robles pre- dicted. Individual players received further recognition as several were named to all- district teams.
