Yes, you read it right. The Rockwall Lady Jackets are the 5A State Champs! Even more unbelievable was that they had a perfect season 40-0! Even more unbelievable than that is that they had to beat an undefeated team to do that! I cannot tell you how emotionally packed the game was. I can't even type fast enough to tell you how excited and energized the crowd was. Did I mention that there were 10,000 people there watching the game. No, that is not a type-o, that is a 1 follwed by four zeros!!! UNREAL!
Here is an article in the Dallas Morning News!
Here is an article from the Austin Statesman.
Here is an article from the Houston Chronicle (Cy-Fair is in the Houston area)
I cannot say enough about this game. Two undefeated teams playing for a championship. This had NEVER happened before. There are only 12 undefeated teams in the state of Texas that have won a championship, and only 2 to go 40-0...NOW THERE ARE 3!!! I wish I could invite everyone over to watch the game on TV, it was broadcast live and as soon as I got home I watched it again. Watching it for a second time was much more enjoyable since I knew the outcome. I have to say that the girls on this team are incredible. They are good kids with hearts of gold (get it, GOLD!). I can't even begin to tell you how much respect I have for the coaching staff of this team. It has been an honor to work with them and I am truly grateful to have been on this journey with them.
If you look here you should be able to see some pictures from the game.
CONGRATULATIONS LADY JACKETS ON YOUR PERFECT SEASON!!!

HOW EXCITING!!! I guess I am glad I was not there in person... I would never have made it through in one piece. It is much better to read the reports and excitement through the eyes of others. How awsome to be a part of something so special. Congrats to the Lady Jackets and coaches for a job well done!
and it was decided in overtime...of course.
That's so FANTASTIC!!!
FYI- you probably know this already, but there is a blurb about the Lady Jackets in Sports Illustrated this week (The one with Dontrelle Willis standing in water on the cover) about their undefeated season. Congrats!
