Through hard work and deter- mination their goals were reached by both teams achiev- ing district championships. I feel that we had a lot of good teamwork that helped us win almost all of our games, said. The Freshmen wound up the district with a 5-2 record after a win over Beeville, 51-13.

A play-off spot looked out of reach for the team. But after recording their first five wins in district play, the boys' varsity basketball team achieved the unexpected. From the ranking position of seventh in district, they surprised oppo- nents time and time again, leav- ing them with bitter defeats. We finally pulled together in district.
