In Texas all roads lead to Austin.

The Diboll Lady Jacks are on one of those roads and have been since the beginning of the 2006-2007 basketball season. With only two more games to go following Tuesday nights competition against Hudson the Lady Jacks have a new goal set within their sights.

That goal is Austin and the state championship.

The playoffs will be a long and arduous journey for the Lady Jacks but from what they've have shown so far it seems that they are up to the challenge.

The two most recent victims to the Lady Jack juggernaut were Center and Rusk.

The Lady Jacks defeated Rusk 60-23 and Center 55-46.

The big story of the games was the JV/Freshman combination that defeated the Rusk Freshman team with a huge final scores of 41-6 and Center 52-19.
