Fort Worth-What started with a 51-46 loss to Waxahachie last season became a motivation key that sparked the Dunbar High School Lady Wildcats basketball to come back with a vengeance and take a state title.

The Lady Wildcats beat Dickinson 62-51 victory at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin.

Coming back home with the champions was MVP point Guard LaShandra Hill whose star performance and leadership helped boost team morale and lead the team to victory.

It was the second time in three years, the Dunbar High School Lady Wildcats came home as Class 4A state champions

The Dunbar Lady Wildcats (32-4) also won the 4A title in 2005.

Hill, a senior and headed to play for SMU next season, scored 26 points, added eight rebounds and five steals, and was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

Junior Brooklyn Pope’s play also made the difference in the victory by limiting Dickinson's offense and adding a triple double performance with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks.

Wildcats Coach Andrea Robinson said. "Our team played hard and we are very proud of their efforts."

Robinson added the team is still enjoying being back at the top, but will soon begin preparations to defend that title next season.

Congratulations on a job well done...
