22-23 Lavaca Lady Arrows, we didn’t finish where we wanted but the hustle and heart these ladies had is amazing!! These young ladies have had a ruff season with injuries and playing in crazy weather. Even with the ups and downs they finished 2nd in Conference, District, and Regionals and played in the first round of state. Every year we grow, we get better, we come back stronger. Even in the losses we had spectacularly moments. They never give up no matter the view. Seniors you will be greatly missed!
