Lady Rangers highly regarded
The Lone Star girls basketball team is garnering plenty of preseason buzz.
The Lady Rangers earned a fifth-place ranking in the Texas Girls Coaches Association Preseason Poll on the heels of the 2012 season.
Key players such as Deja Snell, B’ria Wagner, Zoie Miller and Whitney Apari return for Lone Star.
Defending state champion Abilene Wylie tops the list with Krum, Kennedale and Lubbock Cooper rounding out the top five.
The Lady Rangers advanced to the second-round of the playoffs last season before a 48-37 loss to Celina spelled the end of their season. The Lady Bobcats also made the list with a tenth-place ranking.
