🏆 Hang another banner in the Woodlawn High rafters — and add a trophy. The host and undefeated Lady Panthers (6-0) clinched their second-straight EBR Parish Girls Basketball Tournament title with a narrow 41–40 win over Liberty on Wednesday.
Woodlawn also claimed the inaugural traveling trophy, which will now reside each year at the home of the champion.
A huge thank you to all 11 participating schools, the volunteers and the community for making this one of the best girls tournaments yet.

Melissa is a 4th-grade science and social studies teacher at WHAM. Spending 12 years with EBR. She believes in hands-on learning, which makes science an enjoyable experience. She loves the idea of having pets in the classroom, as it teaches responsibility and fosters a love for animals. What kids do outside of the classroom is essential; it`s not just about test scores. Former students say she played a significant role in fostering their enthusiasm for science. #DareToBeGreat #WeAreEBR #ebrschools
