Soaring into San Antonio 

The Hardin-Jefferson Lady Hawks are soaring into San Antonio undefeated for the 4A station championship Thursday. 

The Lady Hawks are taking on a Canyon program (29-1) with tons of history that includes 28 State Tournament appearances and 19 State titles. The Lady Hawks have made 8 tournament appearances since 1984.

"I don't think they care about history because they weren't alive for a whole lot of them," head coach Mike Fogo said. "And so with the young group today, it's about right now."      

The Lady Hawks have a core group of players ready for the challenge. Among them, Duke commit Ashlon Jackson. 

"Coming back from the eighth grade going to state my ninth grade year, it was bittersweet. But now it's a different feeling. It's like I'm going there to win, nothing else," Jackson said.
