Region IV, 5A Bi-District Championship Game against the Flour Bluff High School Lady Hornets on Monday, February 12th, at 6:30 P.M. at Jourdanton, Texas High School Gymnasium.

Leading the Lady Mavericks offensive scoring were Gyselle Rangel with 10 points, three steals, and four assists, followed by Silvy Salazar with eight points, 13 huge rebounds, and 10 monster blocks, and Destiny Sukue with seven points and three steals. Lady Maverick Karyme Marquez sank five free throws in the fourth period to seal the win for the Lady Mavericks.

Lady Mavericks Head Coach Paulo Valero stated “the Lady Mavericks defense was awesome the whole game and our players scored offensively throughout the night to hold off the Floresville Jaguars’ late rally in the fourth quarter to earn a state playoff berth.”  Valero added “this victory was a total team effort against a highly competitive Jaguars team, but our Lady Mavericks wanted this game more and played their hearts out to make the playoffs.”
