For the first time in the history of Coronado, the girls varsity basketball team captured the district and bi- district championships. Improving greatly over last year, the girls varsity basketball team ranked third in district which enabled it to compete in the playoff games. The girls basketball teams started out the season with an undefeatable attitude. -Junior Sara Bardouche explained, “We had a great fast-break team and excellent inside and outside shots. Everyone on the team was determined that this was the year to win district. The varsity team started off winning and continued to win throughout the season. There were no individual superstars. “All of us are friends and we played better as a team since we got along with each other. related senior Sheila Fennell. The team ranked third in district which enabled it to compete in the playoff games, Feb 14. The team members competed first against Andress which was ranked second. The T hirds struggled against the Eagles in a game which ended in a victory for Coronado after a triple- overtime game. The T-birds next faced the Rockets to the district championship. This time the Thunderbirds got an early lead and the Rockets never moved ahead. After defeating the Troopers for the bi-district title the T-birds lost to highly-touted Lubbock Monterey, in Abilene during regionals. An optimistic B-team did not fare as well as the varsity team. .Junior Mary Groves explained. The team didn't relate well enough as a whole to get things going as well as it could have.
