The W.T. White Longhorns girls basketball team secured their spot in the school’s history by advancing to the regional tournament for the first time.
This is a big win for the school as neither the boys’ nor girls’ basketball teams have previously advanced to the regional tournament stage.
In the UIL Class 5A regional quarterfinals on Monday night at Lake Highlands High School, the Longhorns faced off against Mesquite Poteet Pirates with a final score of 43-29.
