The 5/6 Dragons girls lacrosse team (pictured) finished an undefeated run to win the Greater Houston Girls Youth Lacrosse Association (GHGYLA) city-wide championship. This is the first city title for any of the Dragons teams. The talented team dominated each game, with solid victories over HYLAX and Cy Fair in the first two rounds. In the championship game, the Dragons battled the Woodlands, a team that is known for exceptional talent and lots of big wins. The first half ended with a 1-1 tie, but the Dragons scored 12 straight goals in the second half. City champs are (top row, from left) assistant coach Clara VanLandingham, assistant coach John Mason, Hadley Burrow, Elizabeth Dale, Carly Buck, Amanda Stinson, head coach Marissa Ramey, Maddy Zhang, Claire Thames, Caroline Peterson, (bottom row, from left) Caroline Tcholakian, Layton Vaneck, Bailey Ultis, Catherine Clampitt, Peyton Whittaker, Addy Grover, Averey Miller, Noelle Miller, and Sophia Judd; not pictured: CoCo Ballette, Brynn Derrick, and Adelaide Strange.
