team above all else It takes dedication to earn success. While the Dragons have a history of racking up state titles and championships, success has looked different throughout this past year. Due to COVID-19, several fall and winter sports experienced delays to their regular season starts. And before those UIL updates secured their fates, Carroll coaches and athletes had to sit and wait patiently to see if they would have a season at all.

Despite those circumstances, Dragons continued to prepare themselves for competition in the face of adversity. To ensure that when it was time, they could perform at their best. Whether that meant keeping up with drills at home or using the free time to increase their stamina, these athletes kept their teams’ potential above all else.

Volleyball head coach Teresa Dunn, who you can read about in “Perseverance, Pride And Protecting The Tradition,” saw it firsthand with her Lady Dragons. She saw her girls constantly checking in, reminding each other to put the team first.

With mentalities like this, Dragons across an array of sports were able to pull out win after win once they could finally come together and play — swim and dive, tennis and cross country just to name a few.

They were honoring a tradition of athletic excellence, which will also be celebrated at this year’s Hall of Honor. While the in-person event has been postponed until later this year, you can learn more about the 2021 inductees and their successes in “Exemplifying Dragon Greatness.” We know that after a trying year, several of this year’s dominating Dragons are sure to be in their ranks soon enough.

G0, Dragons!

SE A SON UPDAT E

ABOUT THE TEAM With five seniors and just two returning lettermen playing this season, the Carroll boys basketball team has looked to new stars to step up. Junior point guard Ben Estis is one such player to answer the call this year.

Although Estis made varsity as a sophomore last year, his role has expanded this season. Estis leads the team in scoring (11.6 points per game), free-throw percentage (77.4%) and three-point baskets (42 makes for 36.5%).

Senior shooting guard Dalton Coleman is second in scoring (8.5 ppg), first in rebounding (7.2 per game) and leads in assists (3.28 per game), while junior guard Eric Blanchard (7.9 ppg) and junior forward Austin Stipetic (6.1 ppg, 56.8% FG shooting) help create a well-balanced attack.

Sophomores like guards Carter Ruck (4.4 ppg) and Braylen McDade (3.8 ppg), as well as other sophomore athletes, have put in their playing time, logging minutes and gaining experience for future seasons.

"With our sophomores, I've seen a lot of growth as the season's progressed," says varsity assistant coach Jordan Willis. "We don't even think of them as sophomores anymore. We think of them as juniors."

the biggest strength for this team is team play.

—H ead Coach Eric McDade 08 • WINTER ’21

A season of growing pains might be the best way to describe the 2020-21 schedule for the Carroll boys basketball team. Youth, inexperience and some injuries created hurdles they were forced to overcome, but the Dragons faced the challenges and grew stronger as a team as the year progressed.

Carroll (10-11 overall, 2-6 in district with four games remaining) struggled in the heat of 4-6A competition. But their ability to fight and scrap against some solid programs was evident, as three of those six losses were by five points or less.

"They give it everything they've got and leave it all on the floor," says Carroll boys head coach Eric McDade. "We've had a lot of inexperience this year, but we've been able to grow as we've been going. We've developed to the point where we're kind of peaking toward the end."

An example of that improvement was displayed in the Dragons' second district meeting with V.R. Eaton (13-8 near season's end and in second place in 4-6A).

After suffering a 75-52 loss in its first game with the Eagles, Carroll pushed Eaton throughout the game before losing by five.

The team also hung with top-seeded Byron Nelson (15-3 with three games remaining) before losing 49-46.

"I think our kids are just resilient," says varsity assistant coach Jon Cravens. "We don't know what we're in for day to day. But our kids have done a good job of coming in with a good mindset."

The Dragons had a strong pre-district showing, going 8-5 and posting impressive wins.

S E A S O N U P D AT E With gritty defense, a wealth of varsity experience and reliable scoring, the Lady Dragons basketball team found themselves playing for a shot at the district crown entering its final week of regularseason competition. The playoffs were already a given, as Carroll has clinched a postseason berth for the past three years.

Carroll ended up finishing the regular season in second place in District 4-6A, posting a 9-2 record (19-6 overall) with one game remaining, trailing only district champion Keller (10-2). The hustle and defensive intensity that was displayed on the hardwood throughout the season has been the key to her team's success, McCoart says.

"Our strategy is always defense generates offense," says McCoart, whose team ranks third among Class 6A girls basketball teams in the Metroplex by holding opponents to an average of 34 points per game. "We don't have goals of how many points we score in a game. Our goals are more like, 'We want to get this many boards, hold them to this many points, get this many turnovers.'"

The Lady Dragons have held 14 opponents to 30 or fewer points this season, including a low of 20 points against Marcus, 23 when facing The Colony and 22 versus district foe Byron Nelson.

Carroll has continued to make strides each season under McCoart, improving on the 17-14 record from two years ago, and posting its first playoff win in five years last season. Entering the postseason, the Lady Dragons are hoping to notch additional wins this time around.

"I think it's about staying focused on the goals we've had all year," McCoart says.

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

ABOUT THE TEAM With seven seniors on the roster, including several players with three or more years on varsity, the Carroll girls basketball team possesses plenty of veteran savvy. But it’s a second-year player who made the team as a freshman who has become the Lady Dragons' biggest offensive weapon.

Sophomore Camryn Tade leads the team in scoring (16.1 points per game) and rebounding (6.8 per game), and she has the most assists (44) and steals (46) as well. Her scoring is third best in the area among Class 6A girls players.

"She just has a knack for grabbing boards and scoring," Carroll coach Robyn McCoart says of her sophomore.

The skills of the Lady Dragons' upperclassmen create multiple scoring threats.

Senior Kelsey Boyette (8.2 ppg), who recently signed with Southwestern University in Georgetown, is second in area 6A girls players with 51 baskets behind the arc this season. Kaelyn Riley (5.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg), Jordyn Sowell (4.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg) and Brittney Flexer (5.5 points, 3.0 assists per game) provide a spark and plenty of energy for the team. Flexer, a point guard that McCoart credits with controlling the offensive flow of the game, signed with Southern Missouri State.

SEASON RECAP

ABOUT THE TEAM When facing Carroll Tennis, opponents quickly find out that doubles means trouble. The Dragons boys and girls doubles team have a penchant for taking it to their opponents, applying whatever strategies necessary to gain the upper hand.

"For the most part, we play really good doubles. That's a big part of what we do," Corey Aldridge says. "It's really important, because seven out of 19 matches are doubles matches. If you can do well on that right out of the gate, it gives you a lot of confidence."

Aldridge says that, on paper, the Dragons boys doubles might appear a little stronger, but the girls are nearly equal in ability. Against an imposing team like Plano West, they over-performed and kept Carroll in the Region I final match early on before the Dragons eventually lost.

With only three seniors in the starting lineup, as well as three freshmen on the team, the Dragons proved that the future is bright.

"We only had a couple senior girls in the lineup, and most of the boys were pretty young," Aldridge says. "It's good for them to get that experience at a young age and learn what it means to succeed."

we did pretty well considering we were in a pretty tough region.

— Head Coach C orey Aldridge

10 • WINTER ’21

Carroll Tennis' goal of returning to the state tournament fell just short this fall, as the Dragons ran into a stacked Plano West team in the 6A Region I finals. The 10-4 loss kept Carroll from a second straight trip to state, but the team's finish was not indicative of the level of success the young group enjoyed throughout the season.

The Dragons' (12-3) only losses this past fall came at the hands of Allen (ranked No. 10 by the Texas Tennis Coaches Association) and twice to Plano West (ranked No. 2), the first coming in a warmup match prior to the playoffs.

"I thought we did pretty well considering we were in a pretty tough region," says Corey Aldridge, Carroll Tennis coach.

The Dragons — who finished ranked No. 11 in state by the TTCA — dominated in the early rounds of the playoffs, sweeping Euless Trinity 10-0 in bi-district, Midland 10-0 in area and giving up just one game in a 10-1 regional quarterfinal match with San Angelo Central. Carroll's matchup with Coppell in the regional semifinals was tighter, but the Dragons walked away with a 10-7 victory to set up their second meeting with Plano West.

"We were actually winning 4-3 after doubles," Aldridge says of the Plano West match. "But they are a little tougher on the singles courts."

Carroll was impressive in district play, winning 100 of 107 games. The Dragons also pulled off a 10-9 win over Highland Park, the No. 1-ranked 5A team that went on to win state, in a non-district match midway through the season.

ABOUT THE TEAMS The Carroll boys and girls cross country teams lost a total of eight seniors from the previous year's teams, but returning varsity runners and newcomers were ready to step in and keep the program performing at an elite level.

The Dragons and Lady Dragons first and second place finish at state, respectively, was fueled by hard work and strong performances on both sides. Seniors Antonio Florcruz and Solomon Chavez, as well as Bennett Woolsey and Bryan Fernando led the way for the Carroll boys. Junior Kaylie Cox and seniors Abigail McIlvain and Grace Williamson paced the girls team.

"The biggest thing was how the seniors stepped up and took on a leadership position," says Justin Leonard. "They really took ownership, and that made a big difference."

Florcruz (an Oklahoma commit), finished fifth overall at state with a time of 15 minutes, 31.30 seconds. Chavez came in 11th at the meet (15:41.58).

For the Lady Dragons, Cox finished sixth overall (18:00.50), while McIlvain, a West Point commit, took 17th (18:33.86) and Williamson, an OU commit, came in 19th (18:42.19).

"We've got to fill some holes for next year, but it's just an opportunity for some other kids to step up," Leonard says.

DRAGONPRIDE

SEASON RECAP Qualifying for state has become the norm for Carroll Cross Country. Not making the trip or finishing at least near the top at the UIL championships would be surprising.

That mentality is a product of the impressive machine coach Justin Leonard and his Dragon runners.

So forgive the Carroll girls cross country runners for having a momentary flash of disappointment when finishing second at the state race in Round Rock this past November, one year after both the Lady Dragons and their Carroll boys counterparts swept with gold medals. However, Leonard says that feeling didn't last long once they put their achievements in perspective.

"That's the great part about our team is that we expect to win the state championship every year, and that's what we shoot for," Leonard says. "But you have to step back and realize how much you accomplished. If we had the chance to run it again, it might've been a different outcome. But coming in second at state is pretty impressive."

Meanwhile, the Carroll boys took the title, tallying a low of 78 points to edge out second place El Paso Eastwood (84 points) to register back-to-back championships. It was also the 11th year in a row the boys finished either first or second at state. The Carroll girls totaled 96 points as a team in Round Rock, second only to Flower Mound (75 points).

The Carroll boys went 9-0 at meets for the season, including wins at the District 4-6A and regional meet before state. The Carroll girls went 7-2, finishing second only to Flower Mound at both regionals and state.

"We had a younger team, and it was just a matter of them getting more and more comfortable competing at the varsity level against faster kids," Leonard says.

SEASON RECAP

ABOUT THE TEAM The 2020 edition of Carroll Volleyball had a good mix of youth and experience, with five seniors, six juniors and five sophomores. Giving young athletes a chance to grow into varsity standouts has been a part of the program's M.O. under coach Teresa Dunn.

That experience and exposure to varsity competition continued to pay off this past season.

Senior outside blocker Natalie Glenn served as the biggest sparkplug for Carroll with 313 kills (4.2 per set), 30 serving aces and 501 serves received — all team highs. She also added 49 blocks (tied for second on the team). Senior middle blocker Laura Brambilla was a defensive beast at the net, registering a team-best 63 blocks and added 143 kills to boot.

Senior libero Keagan Polk registered 462 digs to keep the ball alive, added 19 aces and had 239 clean serve receives.

The trio will play at the next level, with Glenn (University of Minnesota), Brambilla (Washington University in St. Louis) and Polk (Baylor University) ready to apply their skills to college ball.

"There's definitely going to be some big holes to fill," Dunn says. "But these kids are kind of building off of that emotion of wanting to work hard every day."

there's defi nitely going to be some big holes to fi ll.

—H ead Coach Teresa Dunn

14 • WINTER ’21

Lady Dragons Volleyball only played about half the games compared to the year before due to the pandemic, but they made the most of their opportunities. And with a district schedule featuring elite programs, many matchups felt like playoff battles.

Facing a high level of competition helped the Carroll team grow tough, as they fought to keep games alive throughout the season.

Posting a 14-6 overall record, including an 8-4 run through District 4-6A, coach Teresa Dunn's team proceeded to march three rounds deep into the postseason — one round further than the 2019 team advanced.

"Having learned a lot of hard life lessons last year, that really translated into better play this year," Dunn says.

That mental toughness and all-in attitude became apparent to Dunn right from the season's start. The Lady Dragons' first opponent of 2020 was perennial power Plano West (18-4), and Carroll walked away with a convincing 3-1 win.

The competition didn't slow down in district play. The Lady Dragons faced Region I finalist and district champs V.R. Eaton (18-3), as well as reigning 6A state champs Byron Nelson. Carroll split its district matches with Nelson, as the win was a first in recent years.

Fate would have it that Carroll met Nelson again in the postseason. After sweeping past Boswell and Wolfforth Frenship in the first two rounds, the Lady Dragons tangled with the Lady Bobcats in the Regional Quarterfinals, losing in five sets that came down to a 15-12 margin in the final set.

WRESTLING

’ 21 Roster Head Coach: Joe Hathaway (boys), Rachel Mahlow (girls) Assistant Coach: Steve Love

ABOUT THE TEAMS The Carroll wrestling program sent seven wrestlers to state in 2020 — five boys and two girls — and four of those state qualifiers return to this year's team. Combining that with a promising group of incoming freshmen gives the Dragons reason to feel optimistic this season.

"This is the most state qualifiers I've ever had on a team," says Joe Hathaway, in his 12th year as Carroll wrestling coach. "Hopefully the second time around, things aren't so big and bright, and they're a little more relaxed and focused on doing well."

Seniors Jack Weill (106-pound class), Cole Bennett (126) and Owen Hollaway (145) reached state for the Carroll boys last season, with Hollaway advancing to the semifinals. The Dragons should also be bolstered by senior Xander Larson, who placed at the regional meet last season.

Lady Dragons' senior Izzy Gonzalez-Luhrs — who recently committed to the University of Saint Mary — is the Carroll girls' lone returning state qualifier after advancing in the 102 weight class. The team will also look to sophomores Kenzy Sobh, a state alternate, and Bayley Trang, who has impressed at national tournaments in recent months.

"I'm excited for this group to get out and compete on a consistent basis because I feel they've made a lot of big strides," Hathaway says.

SEASON PREVIEW Most years, the high school wrestling season is in the thick of competition by the time students return from Christmas break. But dealing with the COVID pandemic caused the UIL to delay this year's wrestling's start until March.

Although athletes have been chomping at the bit to hit the mats in competition, Carroll wrestling coach Joe Hathaway says that the later start has proven beneficial in some respects for his team.

"The silver lining to everything getting pushed back is that we have a chance to work with some of our younger athletes and help them develop," says Hathaway, mentioning also how wrestlers who play football haven't missed meets despite Carroll's long playoff run. "The extra time will allow us to really craft our game and see more of a finished product."

The Dragons will need to be as ready as possible, seeing stiff competition throughout the season. At the Rockwall meet, Carroll will grapple with Rockwall, Prosper and Klein, three teams that could all finish in the top 10 at state.

At a quad meet hosted by the Dragons, opponents include Timber Creek, Weatherford and Richardson Pearce, all solid programs. Carroll's last regular season home meet is a tri-meet against powerhouse programs Frisco Centennial and district foe Trinity.

District competition is stacked as well, with Trinity, Haltom, Flower Mound and Marcus providing the Dragons' biggest obstacles.

Hathaway says his team must be on top of its game for district, due to not only the level of competition but also the UIL reducing postseason qualifiers in each weight class this season from four to two.

"With the condensed format, there's not going to be a lot of room for error," Hathaway says. "Getting on top of the podium and winning in your position is going to put you in a much better position going into region."

ABOUT THE TEAM Last year's pool of talent in Carroll freshman girls swimmers who reached state is now a strong sophomore class, while senior swimmer Corbyn Cormack will look to defend her state-title finish in the 200 individual medley race. The Carroll boys boast a talented freshman class this season, mixed with senior leaders in events as well.

"There are kids who have been to state and been successful and some that are new to the frontier," says Kevin Murphy, Carroll head swimming coach. "We have some that were just a few tenths of a second off here or a place there that have a chance to get to that next level."

Three of the four girls that won state last year in the 200 medley relay return this season, including sophomores Hailey Heldenbrand and Madelyn Clem, as well as Cormack. Sophomore Kate Heintz and junior Riley Francis captured the 400 freestyle relay in 2020, and both return for another chance at it this year.

Senior boys Michael Kietzman and Nicholas Swafford, as well as juniors Andrew Zettle and Mason Edmund, were on relays that finished third and fourth last season, while senior swimmers Christian Balint and Jackson Pogue have a chance to return to state as well.

Lady Dragons senior diver Hailey Hernandez will attempt to capture her fourth state title, while boys senior diver Jackson Miller took silver last year.

S E A S O N U P D AT E With the UIL condensing the total number advancing to region and state from 24 to 16 swimmers for health precautions, several Carroll athletes who would have advanced past district stayed home this year. The limited numbers created challenges for earning team points, but the Dragons’ goals remained lofty.

"We feel we're certainly a top three team at state in both boys and girls," says Murphy, Carroll head swim coach.

After both the boys and girls teams took titles in 2019, the Lady Dragons repeated in 2020 and the Carroll boys finished fourth, ending a nine-year streak of earning gold. Both teams performed at a high level during regular season meets this year, taking first at every event in which they competed.

At the District 5-6A meet January 2223, the Carroll boys totaled 230 points to take first, winning all three relays and every individual event but one. The Lady Dragons earned 215 points to win the meet.

Murphy says his team's goal heading into the regional meet was to have as many individual event swimmers as possible finish with top eight times in the region in order to qualify for the state meet in San Antonio.

reatness is part of the Dragons’ DNA. Whether it’s through football, baseball, golf, volleyball or cross country, Dragons and their fans never fail to give 110%. That’s why the Carroll Athletic Hall of Honor is packed with amazing athletes, coaches and supporters who have made Dragon Athletics so special. Even though 2021’s ceremony has been postponed to May 22, seven more inductees will join the esteemed group of 43-plus Dragons who have already ascended to the pinnacle of Dragon Athletics.

2004 GOLF TEAM

Dragon Golf won its first 5A state championship title in 2004. Playing against seven other teams over two days, Carroll clinched the win with a total score of 575 points, with Fort Bend Elkins coming in second with 579 points and Conroe The Woodlands coming in third with 584 points. Players on the team included Kirk Haverkamp, Max Draper, Jeff Edelman, Jason Lowry, Scott Steger, Kennedy Webb, Mike Stiller and Eric Peterson. Golfers Carmine Mediate, Jace Moore and Kyle Redman also placed in the overall Top 10 with individual scores of 141 and 144 respectively. Led by coaches Matt Glenn and Jason Stelzer, this championship-winning team set the standard for Dragon Golf. It would be another 10 years before the Dragons would win their second state championship at the 6A level in 2014.

JESSA VACEK

In her freshman year, Jess Vacek came second at the 4A state cross country meet with a time of 12:09. After finishing with a time of 11:10 her senior year, she not only won first place but also helped the girls win their first 4A state championship in 2001. But it wasn’t just Round Rock where Jessa outpaced her competition — she also raced at the Foot Locker National Cross Country Championships in Orlando, Florida, her junior and senior years, finishing 23rd and 28th respectively. Jessa won eight individual state medals throughout her high school career, including three gold medals for herself and three medals for her team. She ran for Baylor University after graduation, taking her team to the National Cross Country Championships in 2003 and 2004 and broke the school record for the 300-meter steeplechase in 2005.

SHELLY ADAMCIK

Relocating to Southlake in 1997, Shelly Adamcik came into the Carroll varsity volleyball team her junior year but quickly demonstrated what a powerhouse player she could be. In her first year on the team, she was named District MVP, All-Net Newcomer of the Year and made the All-Area Second Team from “The Dallas Morning News” and the “Fort Worth Star-Telegram.” The accolades continued into her senior year where she was

Shannon Mcgowan

named to “The Dallas Morning News” All-Area First Team, was named the All-Net Player of the Year and was a state tournament finalist. She attended the University of Alabama with a full-ride volleyball scholarship and graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA and a degree in criminal justice and computer science. She worked in tech consulting in DFW for 10 years before her untimely passing in 2013 at the age of 32.

SHANNON MCGOWAN

Early on in the district’s history, track and field was among one of the most popular sports on its campuses, and few athletes displayed versatility like Shannon McGowan. Named Miss CHS and rated most athletic at Carroll High School, there was no challenge this multi-sport athlete couldn’t meet on the field. She was named the high point track individual and held the triple jump record for the region. She was also part of the Conference A state championship women’s basketball team in 1975.

But her biggest accomplishment came in state, where she set the record for the 100-meter dash at 11.1 seconds in 1977. Whether she was running, jumping or shooting hoops, Shannon gave everything her all.

GARY VENNER

Football, baseball, pole vaulting — Gary Venner was part of all three sports during Carroll ISD’s 1A days, and he was a standout in all of them. In 1974, Gary played on his father’s football team and helped take it to the area round of playoffs. In 1975, Gary was a pole-vaulting champ for the region and district, set the school record and qualified for state. Then in 1976, Gary made perhaps his biggest mark with the Dragon baseball team, as a region and district champion. Along the way, Gary was named an All-American and led the team to the Texas High School All-Star game. His baseball career continued at the University of Texas at Austin, which placed fifth in the College Baseball World Series in 1979. Gary was awarded with All-Conference honors for his season. Today Gary is a general manager at Park Place Dealerships and continues to make yearly donations to Carroll ISD’s outstanding athletic programs.

If anybody bled green, it was Doug Strickland. A fan, supporter and proud father to three Dragons, Doug fell in love with Dragon Nation and sought to get involved however he could. As a Carroll ISD school board member for two terms, Doug was part of the board that approved the construction of the new Dragon Stadium and Carroll Senior High School campus. As a member of the Carroll Athletic Booster Club, Doug organized and printed the football programs, would film the varsity and junior varsity games and picked up pizza for the teams after their games. And as a fan, Doug supported every Carroll program he could, not only following the Emerald Belles, volleyball, basketball, track and cross country teams but also sponsoring the scoreboard on the baseball field. Doug was voted Fan of the Year in 1993 and proudly wore that distinction until his passing in 2020 at the age of 76.

Dragon Football Finishes Season Strong With 12-2 Record

P

ersevering through injuries, a tough schedule and the threat of the pandemic, the Southlake Carroll football team made it all the way to the state championship this season — the first time back since 2011. While they ultimately fell to Austin Westlake, the Dragons proved their might this season, remaining undefeated during district play.

The two offenses were well matched in the Dodge Bowl, where Todd and Riley Dodge went head to head.

The first half saw each team answering the other’s score, with points rising on both sides. But as the second half got underway, the Austin Westlake defense showed its might.

Holding back the Dragon offense, the Chaparral defense paved the way for its offense to score. With a 52-34 final score, the Austin Westlake Chaparrals became back-toback state champions while the Dragons finished in second place.

34 • WINTER ’21

Though Southlake Carroll didn’t win the championship, they still have a lot to be proud of. The Dragons only lost two games this season — meaning the team has only lost four games in the past three seasons.

This season also saw breakout players on both offense and defense as well as the return of Quinn Ewers and Brady Boyd following injuries. Landon Samson, RJ Maryland and Owen Allen quickly made names for themselves, while Logan Anderson and Baker Barrett stepped up on defense.

Whether it was overcoming tough playoff opponents like Duncanville or showcasing its talent with impressive plays, Southlake Carroll had a dynamite season this year. And even after the play clock stopped, a number of Dragons won postseason awards, keeping the dominance going past the end of the season.

Named a 5A State Player of the Year and an EA Sports All-American, Greg later won the BCS National Championship with the Alabama Crimson Tide, played for the New York Jets and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2010. Greg was also slated to be inducted into the CISD Athletics Hall of Honor this spring alongside seven other inductees for the 2021 class. Unfortunately, Greg had to postpone his induction due to scheduling conflicts, according to a Hall of Honor spokesperson. Greg will instead be inducted into the 2022 class the following year.

CARROLL CROSS COUNTRY BOYS WIN STATE TITLE Carroll Cross Country had quite the showing at the 6A State Championships, with the boys taking home the title and the girls placing in second. In the boys race, senior Antonio Florcruz finished fifth overall with a time of 15:31. Senior Solomon Chavez finished 11th with 15:41, followed by seniors Bennett Woolsey, Bryan Fernando and Mason Alexander winning 32nd, 42nd and 43rd place respectively. Sophomores Logan Cantu and Hunter Hill rounded the team out at 52nd and 74th respectively for a team average of 15:56. The girls, meanwhile, saw junior Kaylie Cox finish sixth overall also with a time of 18 minutes. Seniors Abigail McIlvain, Grace Williamson and Laurel Hook followed her in 21st, 24th and 33rd place respectively, and sophomore Ava Bushaw finished 51st with a time of 19:14. Junior Olivia Jones and sophomore Audrey Dunn both finished 54th and 56th for a team average of 18:42. While the Carroll girls were narrowly beaten by first-time champions Lewisville Flower Mound, Carroll Cross Country coach Justin Leonard says he’s still proud of his girls for putting up a fantastic race. “Our young men and women left it all out on the course today,” Justin says. “We had a lot of seniors running their last race, and they gave it all they had. I’m thrilled our boys were able to defend our state championship, and even though it didn’t quite go our way on the girls side, I’m proud of how they competed.” The boys state title win marks the 11th consecutive year the team finished either first or second at the state meet.

DRAGON TENNIS WINS 10TH CONSECUTIVE DISTRICT TITLE Dragon Tennis continues to dominate year after year.

In late October, the team defeated Timber Creek to win their 10th consecutive district title. "To win another district title is exciting as it’s always one of our goals to achieve each year," head coach Corey Aldridge says.

"With more and more talent developing in our area, we are blessed to have the work ethic and resources available to develop our kids the right way." This was Carroll's first district title win of the year. "Timber Creek was talented and pushed us on the girls doubles side, but once we put our singles matches on court, it was smooth sailing," Corey says. "We are fortunate to have experienced players who put in time and work outside of our practices."

DRAGON FOOTBALL PLAYERS WIN POSTSEASON AWARDS Following the end of the season, the Dragons continue to dominate. Several players won individual 4-6A AllDistrict awards and 15 players were named to the 4-6A All-District First Team. Along with senior kicker Joe McFadden, sophomore running back Owen Allen was named to the 2020 MaxPreps All-State High School Football team and is part of the MaxPreps Sophomore All-America Team. Quarterback Quinn Ewers and tight end RJ Maryland were named to the 2020 MaxPreps Junior All-American Team and Ewers was also named the No. 1 recruit for 2022 by “The Dallas Morning News.”

Ewers was also named a finalist for this year’s Landry Award.

typical fall season begins before school starts and practicing kicks off even earlier.

The Lady Dragons girls volleyball team acts as the spark, getting the fall high school sports season going. And it usually provides a boost to Southlake’s winning streak. Typically playing more than 40 matches a year, Southlake Volleyball has advanced to the playoffs every season since 2018.

Though the 2020 season included the added complication of COVID-19, the ladies still dominated, making it all the way to the regional quarterfinals and finishing the season ranked No. 19 in the state, according to MaxPreps.com.

As talented as other Southlake sports teams with less exposure, Southlake Volleyball’s talent, determination and unconditional support from head coach Teresa Dunn helps them protect the tradition season after season.

SEASONS OF SUCCESS

Teresa rejoined CISD in 2018 as the new head coach. Previously the team’s assistant head coach, Teresa came in after acting as the head coach at Midlothian High School.

“Southlake is the best place to be. It was a dream job for me. I am a firm believer that you don’t work a day in your life if you love who you work with and who you work for,” Teresa says. “There have been lots of ups and downs and life lessons along the way, but I wouldn’t trade a single day.”

With her dream job and team, Southlake Volleyball worked to win games. In their first season together, the Lady Dragons went 39-9, finishing the season in the Region 1 Finals.

“Southlake Volleyball has a long line of success with some amazing alumni who came before us and set the foundation,” outside hitter McKenzie Cutler says. “It feels good to carry it on and hopefully keep it going in the future.”

Carry it on they did. In 2019, the Lady Dragons battled once again. Playing 43 games in 2019, the girls volleyball team won 31 of them, finishing the season in the area round of the playoffs.

“All seasons were very different, but all teams overcame a lot of adversity and battled together to have a great playoff run,” Teresa says.

CORONAVIRUS COMPLICATIONS

To say the 2020 season was different is an understatement. In March, when the pandemic started hitting home, few thought it would last long enough to affect fall sports. But as August loomed and the pandemic raged, the upcoming seasons appeared shaky.

But with a “better late than never” attitude, the volleyball season began.

“This season was different in the fact that it took more preparation. You had to think through a lot more things than you normally would,” Teresa says.

“Being safe and keeping those best practices took a lot of time and effort from staff and players.”

Routine game procedures like exchanging sides, tossing a coin or captains meeting before a match ended. Players wore masks when not on the court, and preparation was the name of the game. But the Lady Dragons didn’t let it get to them, keeping their eyes on the prize and their thoughts focused on their teammates.

“Our kids were very focused on the season at hand. They didn’t want anything to derail our season and have to shut down for quarantine,” Teresa says.

“They were constantly checking in with each other to make sure to put the team first. Our motto was always, ‘Protect the team.’”

than half, the girls persevered, winning seven of their first 10 games.

“It was a little strange at first because of the timing and how quickly our season got started,” junior Mia Matin says. “But after a couple of weeks, we got used to the changes we had to make.”

Mia, a defensive specialist, plays middle back and has been playing the sport for eight years, with one year of varsity play under her belt.

“I wouldn't describe it as hard; it just wasn't what we were used to,” Mia says. “We had to wear our masks on the court and were not allowed to have physical contact with the other teams.”

Uncertainty was the name of the game with quarantine looming over the girls’ heads.

“Most teams in the Metroplex got quarantined at least once during their season, and we were very lucky in that we didn’t,” McKenzie says. “Most of the team stayed [in Dragon Virtual Academy] for the entire first semester in order to limit our exposure.”

Through it all, the girls persevered. Winning 13 of the 19 games played during this season, the Lady Dragons finished out 2020 in the regional quarterfinals.

“The girls were so resilient this season in everything we did,” Teresa says.

“My goal is to make you a better volleyball player and a better person along the way. It’s not all about the wins and losses,” Teresa says. “It’s about what we learn and how we grow. The goal is to walk out of this program and leave it better than when you came in.”

Through their athleticism and talent, the girls volleyball team protects the tradition of athletic excellence at Carroll ISD. But they’re also protecting the tradition when it comes to sportsmanship, taking each season’s playoff loss with grace.

“Yes, every coach [and] team dreams of making it to the state final and winning it all. For us in the DFW, every round is very tough and filled with a lot of competition,” Teresa says. “So every day you get to play and advance is such a blessing.”

That message resonates with her players.

“Coach Dunn has been here since my freshman year, and we have been close ever since,” Mia says. “She knows how to let us have fun but also pushes us to be better people and athletes every day.”

McKenzie echoes that mentality.

“She’s really good at building connections with her players, especially the upperclassmen,” McKenzie says.

“You can tell she really cares and loves the game.”

No matter the season, the Lady Dragons focus on the road ahead.

“Every season is different. We work on not focusWINTER ’21 • 45

ing on the year before,” Teresa says. “Every year the team creates a new identity with new players and new matches to be played.”

With five seniors graduating in May, the current juniors are also looking at what the next fall season will look like.

“The juniors are now starting to realize that this is their last go-around for high school volleyball. They have begun to see a lot of last firsts. They have begun to understand what it is like for the class before them,” Teresa says. “They have big shoes to fill, and I think they are ready to take on that challenge.”

McKenzie misses the seniors already.

“They were definitely a big part of the team, and it sure is going to be different without them next season. They left us with big shoes to fill, and I think everybody feels the pressure,” McKenzie says.

“But, we all just have to step up; it’s part of the deal.”

Teresa, who came in the spring of the graduating seniors’ freshman year, watched them “grow before my very eyes.”

“You always hope as a coach that, within your senior class, one wants to go play at the next level,” Teresa says. “This year we will have three, and I can’t wait to watch them grow and play at the next level.”

Out of the five seniors on the varsity volleyball team, three will be playing at the collegiate level. Natalie Glenn is headed to the University of Minnesota, Lauren Brambilla is on her way to Washington University in St. Louis and Keagan Polk will attend Baylor University.

“They all picked schools based on their desire to play and what would best suit their educational needs,” Teresa says. “And I know they are all going to impact the next program they walk into.”

And as the seniors graduate and the juniors become seniors, Mia is eagerly awaiting the future.

“The seniors this past season had a big impact and were super important players on the team,” Mia says. “All of us got super close during the season, but we upcoming seniors know we have big shoes to fill and are excited for what's to come.”

No matter how far they go next season, one thing remains true. Lady Dragon Volleyball personifies what it means to “Protect The Tradition.”

“Lady Dragon Volleyball has been such a positive and amazing experience for me so far,” McKenzie says. “It has brought so many great people into my life, and I am just so grateful to get to be a part of it.”
