Mesquite Horn

An experienced lineup that included highly-touted recruit in Jasmine Shavers and Viencia Jackson are a mainstay in Region II-6A and could turn the north portion of the region in a loop come playoff time if they receive the right playoff draw.

The Lady Dons have been a team on the rise under veteran coach AJ Johnson and sharp-shooter LaShonda Stiger has been paving the way early with her long-range shooting capability.

Today: Palo Duro @ Estacado; 6 p.m.
