The Lady Falcons kicked off round two with a win at home against San Benito 42-37 to split the season series. A close-knit battle in which both teams played with great offense and defense.

Another sweep as the Lady Falcons defeated Rivera in their first matchup on New Year’s Eve 56-20.

So what is next for Coach Lucio’s Ballclub? The Lady Falcons will travel to Weslaco to take on the Lady Panthers to try to split the season series after suffering their second district loss in their first meeting 71-59 on January 4th. After, Los Fresnos will return Home where they will face off against Harlingen in an attempt to capture their third sweep of the season after defeating the Lady Cardinals in an overtime thriller on January 7, 67-64. Los Fresnos will continue to be at home as they host Hanna, who they defeated on January 11 49-33. Lastly, The Lady Falcons will travel to Harlingen South to take on the Lady Hawks in the Regular Season finale. Los Fresnos also looks to avenge their loss against Harlingen South from  January 14, 41-34.

Sitting at 7-3 in District 32-6A Play, The Lady Falcon’s window of opportunity to punch their ticket to the postseason is wide open. With a stellar lineup consisting of Sarahi Jones, Maritza Ortega, Gaby Garrido, Aylene Ortega, Olivia Parra, and Shiloh Jones, The Lady Falcons certainly have the firepower to make a playoff appearance, and possibly a deep playoff run.
