It’s been a busy week for the Lavaca basketball program to say the least. Games every night this week except Monday. The 7th grade girls team and the Junior High Boys team are tearing up the competition this year. They both can boast being undefeated so far this year. The 7th grade played 3 games this week while the Junior High will play its third game tonight.
The 7th grade Girls team is now 6-0 after completing a week of complete domination. They Slayed the Dragon, Rounded Up the Rattlers, and last night they Punished the Pointers. Many of these girls play travel ball together when not in school ball. These girls know each other very well and it shows on the floor. Coach Wyles had this to say about these girls,
” The 7th grade girls have been progressing really well so far. Berkley Marriott has been doing a good job running the point for us this season, and Emerson Schaefer and Madison Proctor have been giving teams a lot of trouble inside with their height and athleticism. Anniston Carter and Kinley Vanmeter have been playing really well defensively. Maddison Buford and Piper Brown have given us really good minutes off the bench. It’s also been great seeing Laura Helms and Emily Freeman get better everyday.”
The Junior High Boys have also been awesome this year. Tonight Hackett comes to Lavaca and the Jr Arrows will look to complete the week by Stinging the Hornets. Coach Reed had this to say about the boys,
“The Jr boys haven’t surprised me one bit. If your here everyday watching them practice, seeing them push each other, winning games are the result. This is a very coachable group led by the back court of Avery Walker, Kolby Glidewell, Luke Watson, and Garrett Dorsey. They are getting shots up each morning by at least 7 am. Our front court guys, Drake Grantham and Jaden Goolsby continue to improve and are our leading scorers so far this season. These guys are easy to be around because they are good teammates on and off the floor.”
