For the fifth time in school history, the Ellender Memorial girls’ basketball team has won the State Championship! The Times was in Hammond on Thursday afternoon, and we got some great shots of the team in their victory over DeRidder. Congrats to the Lady Patriots and all of their supporters in a great season!

Officials bring the ball to the center of the court and toss it in the air for the start of the game between Ellender and DeRidder. The Lady Dragons had a size advantage over Ellender.
