Fort Worth Southwest Christian 54, Houston Second Baptist 40

The guard play of Arieona and Ariele Rosborough has been hard to stop.

The twin sister duo combined for 36 points and led the Lady Eagles to successfully defend their state title with a 54-40 victory over a young and scrappy Houston Second Baptist team.

Southwest Christian started slow to start the first quarter, but quickly settled in with the Rosborough twins to help.

Second Baptist cut the deficit down to five in the early stages of the third quarter but the experience of being on the big stage helped Southwest Christian.

Ariele drained a pair of key three point shots in the fourth quarter that put the game away for the Lady Eagles as they claimed their second straight title.

Second Baptist finishes the year with only one senior on the roster as there is lots of promise on the roster as they made their fourth straight final four appearance in the TAPPS playoffs.
