Even though basketball season has been over for a few months, area players are still receiving honors -- including academic honors. Both the Snook Lady Jays and the Caldwell Hornets had basketball players named to the Texas High School Coaches Association’s (THSCA) 2024 Academic All-State Teams -- led by Snook’s Alexis Macik being named to the THSCA 2024 Girls Basketball Academic All-State Elite Team, which is the highest honor given by the THSCA.

With a 23-8 season record and sitting in first in District 22-4A with a perfect 9-0 record, the Lady Hornets have finally entered the Top 25 Texas Girls Coaches Association Class 4A poll at Number 24.
