ACKERLY SANDS MUSTANGS

Coach: Ben Connell

Record (District): 35-3 (10-0)

Key players: Sr. G Landry Morrow (Angelo State), Elisa Martinez, Lili Porras

Last state appearance: 1962

The Lady Mustangs, who beat Nazareth twice this season, are a guard-oriented team that will look to run and spread the floor, being led by standout Morrow.

ROBERT LEE LADY STEERS

Coach: Brandye Wilson

Record (District): 34-2 (10-0)

Key players: Sr. Braylee Hood, Sr. McKenzee Puentez, Soph. Kailey Freeman

Last state appearance: 1978

State titles: 1 (1978)

Notes: A tough inside-out game being set up by Hood will be tough to stop for opposing defenses. Freeman is one underclassman to watch as she has the ability to make an immediate impact on the floor.

HUCKABAY LADY INDIANS

Coach: Barry Gill

Record (District): 35-6 (12-0)

Key players: Tiffany Meador, Alana Burney, Gracie McDowell

Last state appearance: 2006

State titles: Huckabay look to breakthrough and win their maiden state title out of three appearances in program history. Look for the guards to be the main key for the Lady Indians as they have the depth to be in the mix to be playing on championship Saturday.

NECHES LADY TIGERS

Coach: Andy Snider

Record (District): 30-6 (9-1)

Key players: Sr. Mallory Main, Sr. Abigail Spaith

Last state appearance: 2021

State titles: 4 (2012 2011, 2010, 1973)

Notes: The Lady Tigers starting lineup will turn heads as they start five freshman and they see lots of minutes on the floor and make an immediate impact on the floor.
