The conference championship is the first in program history for the Lady Bulldogs. Head Coach Mark James understands the significance of the championship but says he and his team are not satisfied just yet.
“We celebrated Thursday night a little bit for sure” James said. “Cutting down the nets was a special moment that none of us will forget but we turned the page the next morning”.
James pointed out winning the WJCAC Championship was a goal set by the team at the beginning of the year but it isn’t the only goal they have.
“We truly believed we could win the conference, but we knew it would take a one game at a time mentality. Sure, that’s a cliche and every coach says it, but this group bought into that philosophy from day one and our goal every day is to go 1-0. Out next goal is to go 1-0 on Monday.”
The team met that goal on March 2 when the #11 ranked Lady Bulldogs traveled to Odessa College and came home with a 68-56 victory. The CC women closed out the regular season portion of the schedule Thursday, March 5, at home with a 38-58 loss to #14 South Plains College.
Clarendon will play Hill College in Odessa this Wednesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. in the NJCAA Region V Quarterfinals.
