It’s been a great week for Lavaca Basketball. The week got started Monday night when the Lavaca 7th grade boys and girls and the Junior High boys and girls teams took on the Danville Little Johns. All four of the Lavaca teams won. Then on Tuesday night the Lavaca Junior Girls and both Senior high teams traveled to JC Westside to take on the Rebel’s. This will be the last High school game before the Christmas Tournament.
In the Junior High game Riley Green led the team to victory with 23 points. The high school Lady Arrows played a hard fought battle. Skylar Hyatt and Hope Headley combined for 26 points, with 13 each to lead the team. BethAnn May had another 10 despite being in foul trouble most of the night. This was a great team win for the Lady Arrows who went on to overpower the Lady Rebs 51-36. The Lady Arrows are now 4-0 in conference play.
The boys also saw both of their bigs in foul trouble. Mark Miller and Cayden Hearn were called early and often for fouls and had to sit out for much of the game. But Jordan Fenner and Matt Melton really stepped up in the paint to keep the game close. In the end, the Arrows were able to hit free throws when needed to keep the Rebels at bay and remain undefeated in conference play. Arrows won 44-37.
The Junior High will play tonight at Chaffin Junior High. They will play the 8th grade team as well as the full Junior High teams. Games will start at 4:30. The Senior High will both play West Fork in The Airedale Classic in Alma. Both senior high teams will play Thursday, December 27th. Girls play at 3:30 and Boys play at 5:00.
