A year after advancing to the Region I-3A, the Fillies graduated four key starters and introduced a slew of players eager to fill in those voids going into the 2016 campaign.
All things considered, Mangum admitted she was pleased to see her team earn a season-opening sweep Tuesday over Class 5A Lubbock High.
