South Grand Prairie's defense forced 24 turnovers and limited Arlington Martin to only six made field goals in a 28-20 victory to claim the District 8-6A girls basketball championship. The low-scoring defensive battle showcased the Lady Warriors' suffocating pressure.
Points were hard to come by as South Grand Prairie swarmed throughout the game. Zanay Kearney's steal led to a Pulkera Ray basket, while Rylee Hudson hit a clutch baseline jumper. Despite efforts from Martin's Kenzley Sanchez and Ariana Guinn, South Grand Prairie's defense secured the district title.
