Lady Tigers off to a slow start in district

Thu, 12/14/2023 - 12:00am

The Lady Tigers have struggled for wins all season long and the trend has continued in district. Even though there were several returning letterwinners with experience, only one, Rain Collins, chose to return. This meant that Coach Batson had to start out with an entirely new team to go against some good district teams. In watching the Bowie game, there were many encouraging signs coming from the team. First of all they played hard the entire game and showed no signs of discouragement. They aggressively went to the basket for shots and although they still missed the majority, unlike the last few years, the shots had a chance to go in. They hustled on defense, competed for rebounds and took care of the ball. They are certainly worth your time and effort to support them. They are doing all they can do to win and they will come away with victories during district play.

The two basketball programs have quietly gone about the business of playing pre-district opponents in preparation for the coming district play. For the first month of play the teams have been overshadowed by the success of the football team and the fact the basketball teams rarely play home games until district. With nine teams in the district, the schedule begins in early December and runs into February. As the district schedule begins there will be a home game (either girls or boys) every game night, mostly Tuesdays and Fridays.

Depth is always a positive when a team gets into the playoffs.

This accomplishment moved the Tigers to the quarterfinals round, the same as last year. This time the opponent will be Cibolo-Steele, another worthy adversary.
