ALL THE WAY T0 STATE A dream come true. The varsity team reached for the highest star and got a glimpse of it. They earned the right to be one of four teams to represent the 3A class in the State Tournament and went even further by reaching the finals. The Lady Hornets met up with Dumas there and were downed 53-43. But on their way to the big one the Hornets completed their district play with a perfect record of 14-0. The two most significant games were against Tuloso-Midway beating them in both by only four points, 30-26 and 42-38. In the Bi-District game the Lady Hornets defeated Roma, 68-36, with a surprisingly large margin. Refugio was the site of the Regional showdown between our Hor- nets and Bay City.
