The Rosehill Christian Lady Eagles basketball team defeated the Colleyville Covenant Christian Cougars 52–31 in Mansfield March 5 to win the TAPPS 3A state championship. 

The Lady Eagles jumped out to an 18–9 lead after the first quarter. The Cougars made a run to take a one point lead midway through the second period, but the Lady Eagles responded quickly and went into halftime with a six point lead. 

Rosehill took complete control of the game in the second half, holding Colleyville to nine points in each of the next two quarters. Sophomore Jordan Boyce led the scoring with 25 points, hitting six three-pointers in the game. 

Senior Emily Sebo scored 13 points, while senior Jessica Woodard contributed eight points, junior Karly Krantz four points and senior Grace Courtright with two points. 

The Lady Eagles made it to the state semi-finals last year, but fell short in the semi-final game. 

Coach Steve Krantz brings the first-ever state title to Rosehill Christian School, where he has been coaching for the past 11 years. 

“Emily Sebo’s leadership and experience were key in this game,” Krantz said. 

Sebo is the point guard and team co-captain, along with Woodard.  Sebo also contributed eight rebounds, six steals and eight assists leading her team in those categories. 

“This is what we have been working for all year. I am so proud of my team,” Sebo said.
