A Donna head basketball coach is mourning the loss of a student athlete that was killed by a drunken driver late Sunday night. 

Liza Cavazos, 15, of Edinburg was a basketball player at Donna North High School. She was killed in a hit-and-run accident according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Erica Molina, head basketball coach at Donna North High School said the relationship she shared with Cavazos was special. 

“As a freshman she was newcomer of the year for Donna North's cross country team — she was a starting point guard for the junior varsity squad,” Molina said. “What else can I say she was goofy, funny, charismatic she was always smiling as an athlete she worked hard.”
