Hi friends! If you know my family, you know Eula Pirate and Lady Pirate basketball is super important to us. Since the Lady Pirates just wrapped up a playoff run that took them all the way to the UIL State Championship game, I thought it would be neat to recap it all with one of the coaches, my dad! The kids at school now call him OG, but Coach Carson goes through how special this season was, what makes Eula as a whole special, and so much more!
