St. Agnes loses in Final Four
SAA basketball lost in the Final Four to a very tough Argyle Liberty Christian team.  With the loss the Tigers' season has come to an end with a 31-9 overall record, 9-1 district record with a co-district championship, and a #3 state ranking going into the state playoffs.  The Tigers won The Charlie Thomas Classic Tournament as well as the Boerne Holiday Hoops Tournament and placed 4th in the Riviera Roundup composed of 32 teams.  Along the way, the Tigers beat 9 state ranked opponents including #1 ranked Dallas Bishop Lynch in the Regional Final. Congratulations girls on a wonderful year. 


Great Video of our Regional Championship Game vs #1 Bishop Lynch.  Listen with speakers UP!

2012 - 2013 Co-District Champions!
SAA tied with Concordia Lutheran for District Champions with a 9-1 district record (29-8 overall).  SAA lost the playoff game at Concordia (#1 seed) and will now be the #2 seed from District 3-5A in the TAPPS State Playoffs.

St. Agnes Academy and Concordia Lutheran raised OVER $5000 for the Kay Yow Cancer Fundduring the Ponytails and Pink Week.  Many thanks go out to Bill and Susan English who helped spearhead this tremendous event!


The week was concluded with their 2nd district match-up game at SAA.  Entering the contest, both teams were highly ranked in the state with 27-7 St. Agnes at #5 and 28-8 Concordia at #3. The Tigers won the game 59 - 54 to set up a possible district championship game Tuesday, February 19th at Concordia Lutheran.
