Led by Anna Marie Whitworth’s 21.4 points per game and 10.1 rebounds, the Cowgirls finished as undefeated district champions and are on an unprecedented 31-game winning streak. Their only loss came against Ozona 44-38 in late November.
Whitworth recently surpassed 2,000 career points and 1,100 rebounds as a member of the Cowgirls basketball team. The 6-foot-2 power forward received college offers from Angelo State University, Houston Christian, Ouachita Baptist and D’Youville.
Flora Appleton is the team’s second leading scorer at 13.2 points, adding 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 steals. Senior Ainsley Burns also hit a double-digit scoring average at 10.2 points and dished 2.7 assists.
