The Eagle Pass Lady Eagles varsity girls basketball team under the direction of head coach Ruben Besa and assistant coaches Arturo Gonzalez, Norman Carreon and Rachel Menchaca  journeyed to Laredo, Texas on Wednesday, January 17, 2018 to tipoff against the current District 29-A leading Laredo Alexander Lady Bulldogs in a 7:00 PM hoops encounter.

The predominately youthful Lady Eagles took on the much taller, more experience and more athletic district leading Bulldogs but did not back down from the challenge in fact the Lady Eagles managed to tie the Lady Bulldogs at 9 points apiece at the end of the opening period behind the scoring of Sophia Rodriguez, Paula Hernandez and McKayla Hernandez.

After that the highly talented district leading Lady Bulldogs flexed their muscle managing to outscore the valiant y0ngLadyEagles 35to 6 in the second half to come away with the 65 to 28 victory.  Sophia Rodriguez led the Lady Eagles with 14while Brooke Diaz who had been out of action for several games nursing an injury but once again led the team in the rebounding department with 5 boards and also recorded the only blocked shot for the Lady Eagles in this game..
