In the championship game, the Lady Eagles were down 17-2 at the end of the first quarter.
The Lady Eagles showed true grit and determination to turn the game around and win 28-27 in a very exciting ending.
The Lady Eagles competed in the seventh grade division as they start two sixth graders, two seventh graders and one eighth grader.
All players contributed to this tournament victory for the Lady Eagles. Skyler Smith averaged 19 points per game throughout the three game series and also averaged six rebounds per game.
Montague Lady Eagle Emilee Reed averaged four points per game and four rebounds as she guarded the point guards and was defensively sound for the team.
Kaygan Stone stepped up and averaged six points and five rebounds while Kate Sherwin averaged 3 points and Railey Martin had six rebounds per game.
Lexi Todd, Addi Eichler and Lillie Smith came off of the bench to provide sound defense and outstanding hustle.
New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
