Llano beat Eldorado 44-26 in the championship Dec. 9 after stinging NVTO 61-34 in the semifinals and Grape Creek 54-35 both on Dec.
Parker noted the Lady Jackets showed improved patience on the offensive end and saw the defense’s open spots. “They seem to be getting better,” he said. “These girls haven’t had a breather. At times our patience was better. We didn’t force things.
