The Fairfield Lady Eagles are once again state champions following a 50-44 overtime victory over the Jim Ned Lady Indians on Friday, Feb. 28, at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
“I’m just thankful. I think our kids showed everybody how resilient they are and how hard they work. They just don’t take no for an answer,” Coach Sally Whitaker said following the state championship game. “I’m really proud of them. It was definitely a team win. I am just so happy for them.”
The Lady Eagles extended what most would call a dynasty with their fifth trip to the state tournament in six years – and their third title in that span. They also won in 2020 and 2022.
