Lady Tigers have an easy win

Lady Tigers have an easy win

The Lady Tigers basketball team was able to play with less pressure allowing them to have success. This was the case in the 73-21 win over Lehman. Although the Lady Lobos are experiencing a winless season, they were still providing opposition to work against. Coach Batson substituted freely and everyone was able to get quality time and practice. What was encouraging was the players worked the ball much better and were looking for the open player. The more a player practices the correct moves the better they get at it and can perform the same maneuver against better teams. Practice makes perfect. Still left to work on is quality shooting skills for higher percentage accuracy. That won't come without extra gym time doing it correctly. 02/10/2022 12:00 AM

Life begins in 6A: DSHS moving up in classification into district full of stiff competion

The long-awaited day has arrived. At 9 a.m. on February 3, the UIL unveiled the fate of all the members in Texas for the next two school years. All the speculation of what district you would be in became known. All the coaches in Texas found out as the district alignments were listed on the website. At that time coaches could start working on their schedules or start thinking about moving. The UIL selections can determine just how successful a school will likely be. Still, schedules cannot be chiseled in stone until the period for taking care of protests has finished. 02/10/2022 12:00 AM

Tigers fail to finish

Tigers fail to finish

It is pretty well accepted that to be successful one must be able to finish games. Does not make much difference how well you played before. The Tigers are struggling to do just that. At the present it has been the fateful fourth. It does not take much. In talking with Coach Swannack before the last game, he said early on they realized they would not be able to stay in high-scoring games. So their strategy would be to keep the scores low so they would be in the running when it came down to the end. They have been doing that but it is the finish that usually does them in. Their 57-43 loss to Alamo Heights and a 47-34 loss to Veterans Memorial attest to that. 02/03/2022 12:00 AM
