BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
"It's such a tight-knit family whether it's blood by family or blood just by working at the school district."
La Vega alumni Julia Story is one of our neighbors, and you can always count on seeing her in the stands for her high school's sporting events.
Julia told 25 News she's worked for the district now for nearly 20 years.
"I've watched these girls grow up," she said.
Julia was one of the dozens of our neighbors who traveled down to San Antonio on Friday— to watch the Lady Pirates basketball team play in the state finals at the Alamodome.
25 News' Bella Popadiuk got the chance to ride the fan charter bus myself from La Vega to the game Friday night.
"It is very good," Sabrina Guy said. "We have a very big fan base, no matter if it's football, track, soccer, you name it, it's good."
Alora Guy and her daughter-in-law Sabrina also decided to make the trip to support the girls. Sabrina is another La Vega alumni, class of 1993.
They tell 25 News it was their first time riding the fan bus out of town.
"This is the first time I've gotten to actually go," Sabrina said. "I didn't get to go to the football game and the girls kept on telling me 'Miss. Guy, watch us,' so now I'm going. It's my first ride on the charter bus."
Alora says she's watched her kids and grand kids go to La Vega; the community is like a family.
