The Colmesneil Lady Bulldogs finished the season undefeated and won the district championship, their first district title in seven years. The team said this is the third time in school history that the Lady Bulldogs have finished a season undefeated. Senior captains Taryn Byrum and Madison Primrose led the team.
Head Coach Trey Bullock, who is new to the district this year, said the team had a lot of work to do at the start of the season, including academics and longer practices. He said the goal was to put the team in a good position for the district playoffs. Assistant Coach Dena Settlocker told the players to stay proud, stay humble and keep working, saying the job is not finished.
The Lady Bulldogs played a warm-up game last Friday in Goodrich. Their first playoff game is Thursday, Oct. 29, against the Lady Bobcats of Gary at 6 p.m. at Lufkin High School in the bi-district round. A send-off for the team is set for 3 p.m. Thursday on the Colmesneil campus.
