WACO — The Abilene Christian girls basketball team is headed to the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Class 3A state championship game for the second consecutive year after coasting to a 75-31 win over Rockwall Heritage Christian Academy on Wednesday afternoon at University High School.

The second-ranked Lady Panthers dominated the state semifinal matchup from the outset, stretching a 29-8 lead after one quarter to 49-17 by halftime to give themselves another shot at their first state championship since 1979.

With the win, ACS (22-3) earned a title game rematch with No. 1 Waco Live Oak Classical, which defeated San Antonio Lutheran in Wednesday’s other semifinal to punch its ticket to the final, which is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday at Waco Robinson High School. Live Oak defeated the Lady Panthers 47-38 in last year’s championship game.
