Arlington girls win first District title

Camille Alberson hesitated a second before the final inbounds pass -- as if she might have to blink back something moist at any second. But Arlington's senior center passed the basketball, took it back and as a satisfied smile sprouted, she cradled it in her arms like a firstborn child.

"I've waited four years for this. We all have," said Alberson, who scored 12 points.

Junior guard Ariel Hearn was named Tournament MVP after scoring 16 points, and delivering a series of fast-break assists that had helped Arlington break open a 28-21 lead early in the third period. Junior guard Chrystin Hopper added 11 points.
