Sulphur Springs Lady Cats
The Sulphur Springs Lady Cats finish their season with a record of 21-1-2 and find themselves ranked No. 7 in the 5A poll. The Lady Cats had an excellent regular season and hope to carry off the postseason success they had a year ago, after a historic run in which they went four rounds deep.
