2022-23 Girls 6A State Recap: San Antonio Clark tops two-time reigning state champion DeSoto

Last year, not many expected San Antonio Clark to push the reigning Class 6A champion DeSoto Eagles to the brink in the state semifinals.

But this year, Rihana Houy’s Cougars were nearly the top team wire-to-wire in TABC’s 6A rankings, led by their star dominant junior post Arianna Roberson. Clark was on the other side of outside expectations this time around, knocking off a younger edition of the two-time state champion Eagles, 42-37, to claim the program’s first-ever championship, after topping Jules LaMendola's Coppell in an instant classic the night before.
