Shout out to the Parsons for hosting another great Holiday party! We played games, had s'mores, and ate delicious food! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Girls Basketball๐
Western Hills HS
The Varsity Boys basketball team hosted 5A South Hills in their final non-district match-up. The Cougars got off to a fast start with a 22-10 lead, but the Scorpions battled back to make it a tie game in the 4th quarter. The Cougars showed a lot of resilience and toughness down the stretch by making some big plays on defense and hitting some huge shots to take the 61-56 win.
I was very happy with how we continued to play as a TEAM and trust one another despite being shorthanded with illness and injury and facing some adversity throughout the game. We say all the time in our program that having the bricks (talent) doesn't matter if you don't have the mortar to hold it all together.

FWISD Wrestling
Benbrook HS
Bobcat Wrestling has been stacking up the matches over the last week. Friday 12/15 our JV was wrestling in Prosper. It was a great experience with some of our younger wrestlers getting their first pins on the season. The Varsity went to Eaton High School on Saturday, for what was the hardest tournament of our season. We had a lot of great duals, with the boys picking up a big victory over Saginaw based off criteria. The girls wrestled the #1 team in the state and came up a bit short, but finished the day off by defeating the Defending state champs Northwest!!!!
Then a mix of JV and Varsity athletes traveled to Fort Worth Brewer, the boys had quite a few out with sickness and injury and came up short 30-42. The Girls redeemed the team though with a dominating 60-12 Victory. Wednesday both teams traveled to Birdville to wrestle the Eagles and the Grapevine Mustangs, two tough District opponents. The Girls Defeated Grapevine 72-0 and Birdville 42-30. The Boys came up a bit short in both duals losing to Grapevine 27-49. It's been a busy first half of the season. The Bobcats have 191 Varsity pins as we go into the break.
Dunbar HS

Western Hills HS
There is a lesson inside the furnace:
This weekend we traveled to St. Marks school of Dallas to participate in one of the hardest tournaments of the season. We had a long talk about entering stat booster tournaments vs furnace tournaments. I told them about the lesson of the hammer and the nail. Some tournaments you will be the hammer and some you're the nail. In every match, you will win or learn. You never lose if you learned in the last match.
We had some wins, but we also had plenty of learning lessons. I'm proud of them because they knew the lessons only come with furnace competition. They didn't back down from it. Hats off to those who competed. The road to State starts here!

North Side HS
HISTโญ๏ธRY was made this weekend in Frisco at the 1st Annual All-American Army Bowl Girl's Flag Football Game. Let's give a huge shout out to Tiโyanna Johnson for being North Sideโs first All-American. ๐
I am beyond blessed to have had this opportunity to help Coach Team West alongside Tiโyanna and all the other amazing young athletes and coaches from around the US.
Western Hills HS
You may not know the history of the Army All-American Game, but it is a major event for some of the top High school seniors around the nation. At this event, you will see the top football recruits in the nation come and play and a lot of recruits commit during this game. This was their first year to offer women's flag football to this historical event and I am proud to say that two of our very own were selected to play in the First Flag All-American Bowl Game. Ja'liya Jame and Alezai Jones represented Western Hills well during this event. They were on a team with girls from Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and other girls from Texas. The girls had a whole weekend set up for them which included an autograph session, and they were super excited about that event. The following day they were super nervous because they went through their first combine, and they did pretty well. On Game day they got to take a tour of the Star and see all the past and present football players, traditions, and accomplishments. The game was played before the boys' game and the girls had a pretty good crowd. Ja'liya had a couple of flag pulls and Alezai had a really big sack to end a drive. Even though the game didn't end with a win for the West the girls had a great time and made new friends. So, if you see these All-Americans in the hallway, please congratulate them.
FWISD Softball
North Side HS
โNorth Side High Schoolโs Softball Toy Drive Tournament Scores Big for Local Kidsโ
North Side High School recently hosted a heartwarming Softball Toy Drive Tournament, bringing together six spirited teams in a charitable competition. The tournament not only showcased athletic prowess but also aimed to make a difference in the community by collecting toys for those in need.
The event, organized by the North Side High School softball team, drew enthusiastic participation from both players and spectators. Teams from the local community engaged in friendly yet competitive matches, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and goodwill on the field.
The primary focus of the tournament was to collect toys for a charitable cause, and the North Side community rallied together to make it a success. Spectators and participants generously contributed toys of all kinds, from stuffed animals to board games, creating a pile of joy that would soon bring smiles to the faces of local children.
Following the tournament, the North Side softball players took on the role of Santaโs helpers. Armed with boxes filled with toys, they visited nearby elementary schools to deliver the gifts directly to the young recipients. The players shared in the excitement as the distributed the toys, spreading holiday cheer and making a meaningful connection with the communityโs youngest members.
The joyous impact of the Softball Toy Drive Tournament extended beyond the playing field, leaving a lasting impression on both participants and those who benefited from donated toys. North Side High School demonstrated the power of sports to unite communities and make a positive impact, turning a softball tournament into a celebration of giving and goodwill.
