It's done, settled, finished, come to pass - the Diboll Lady Jacks are the 2006-2007 District 20-3A Champions. There is no disputing that following an amazing run this season that these ladies are going places and the place they have set their sights on is Austin.
Following two more exceptional victories last week and their final game this week the Lady Jacks can rest easy before heading on into the first round of playoffs.
Against Carthage last Tuesday the Lady Jacks found themselves with an opportunity to display the feats of teamwork that have gotten them this far.
In a balanced offensive attack the Lady Jacks hit the court against the Lady Bulldogs like a well-oiled machine knocking in two after two after three points. From the very beginning it was clear that the ladies from Carthage were facing at team way out of their league, but for the Lady Jacks it was just a practice for bigger things to come.

The big score for the game came from Deneshia Holman with 12 points followed closely by several Lady Jacks with two-digit scores. Nikki Greene, Ja'Frina Jackson, Amber Baldwin and Crystal Spencer all claimed 10 points for themselves in the powerful offensive attack.
