GIRLS ALL-DISTRICT! | Tatum’s Scott, Bradley share MVP honors; ETB all-district honorees across our coverage area
District 16-3A belonged once again to coach Patricia Nelson and the Tatum High School Lady Eagles, who didn’t lose a single game in the district schedule – not at home, nor on the road.
So respected was what Tatum did by the coaches in the district, who vote on the All-District Team, that they voted two Tatum players – Kamdyn Scott and Aundrea Bradley – as co-most valuable players.
That’s right: Bradley and Scott were named co-MVPs at the top of the 16-3A girls basketball All-District Team.
Nelson joined them, named the coach of the year.
And Scott was also recently voted to the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches’ All-Region Team, on Class 3A-Region 2.
