Lady Eagles capture the Hoopfest Invitational Tournament

November 18, 2025

Dawson Lady roundballers were invited to the inaugural Hoopfest Invitational Tournament featuring some of the top teams in the state and the Lady Eagles made a bold statement by going undefeated to capture the tournament top trophy.

New Dawson girls head coach Gary Douglas, who replaced Sharee Griffin, said, "This victory is more than just a trophy, it's a statement. Our girls showed grit, teamwork, and relentless energy proving they belong among the best in Texas."

Dawson, who is currently ranked No. 1 by the TCBA and No. 2 by the TGCA, is currently 6-0 after getting wins over state-ranked No. 9 Duncanville (64-47), No. 7 Cy-Springs (64-39), No. 4 North Crowley (58-53), and private school No. 2 Houston Christian (85-65) to win the tournament.

While the basketball season is just beginning, Douglas is proud of the progress the Lady Eagles are making as a team.
