"We left too many people in scoring position. We also walked too many people. Those two areas have been our achilles heal all season. Lewisville did more to win than we did tonight. But, we are very proud of the accomplishments of this program. To win a District Championship, for the third time in three complete seasons, is elite. Our seniors have had an opportunity to be called "champion" multiple times. They leave with a legacy that most players do not possess. We wish them nothing but the best as they branch out. We are also excited about all the returners that we have coming back in 2023 and look forward to chasing more championships." said Coach Chris Martin
Whitmire finished in the top six in the state in Class A. The final record was 11-17.
