“We played several 6A teams during the season to build our resilience and adversity so we would be prepared to take on the larger school teams in the SPC,” said Varsity Head Coach Demarcco Owens. “When we play schools like Midwest City, Edmond, Santa Fe and the other Edmond schools, it helps us to prepare for these larger Houston teams we would encounter in SPC play so the team was used to this type of competition.”
