Lorenzo De Zavala Middle School

Final Game of the Season! The Coyotes wrapped up an incredible season with a hard-fought matchup against Irene Garcia Middle School. The Light Team battled from start to finish but came up short, while the Dark Team closed out the season with a well-earned victory. The Dark Team finished with an outstanding 14-2 district record across both their 7th and 8th grade seasons, a testament to their dedication, teamwork, and relentless effort over the past two years. The Light Team matched last year’s record, proving their resilience and continued growth. No matter the final score, both teams showcased the heart, hustle, and determination that define La Joya Coyotes basketball. To our players—this season was just one chapter in your journey, but the work doesn’t stop here. Continue to grow, improve, and push yourselves to be better every day. The future of Coyotes basketball is brighter than ever, and we can’t wait to see what’s ahead! A heartfelt thank you to all our parents for your unwavering support, dedication, and sacrifices over the past two years. Your encouragement, time, and commitment have been instrumental in shaping these young athletes, and none of this would be possible without you. This season may be over, but the journey continues. Keep grinding, keep believing, and keep striving for greatness. Let’s go, Coyotes!
