Read moreThe Rice Raiders’ varsity basketball team took a step forward this year and improved their record from a season ago. Not only did the program take a step forward, but the team itself also made strides in terms of individual improvement and team performance. The Raiders picked up a few signature wins and quality performances throughout this season as they fielded a much more competitive squad than in recent seasons. With just a limited number of seniors on the squad, Rice will remain optimistic that many of their improvements will continue into next season. While there was progress throughout the season, the final two games of the year represent the growing pains of a team still accruing experience. After taking a huge loss to Industrial earlier in the week, the Raiders put up a good fight against Yoakum before falling behind late in the regular season finale.

Read moreThe Columbus Cardinals’ varsity basketball team hung near the top of the district standings for basically the entire district season. They started with a huge win streak that had them holding the first-place spot in the standings. A victory earlier in the season against legitimate challenger, Edna, put the Cards in a position to potentially close out the season in first place. However, Columbus would go on to lose two games in a row to lose their hold on the district lead. Last week, the Cards held pace in the standings with a big win against Palacios that set up a rematch against Edna that would decide the district title. Edna’s offense exploded in the title game and clinched the district championship on their own home court.

The Lady Cards got the rest of the week and the weekend to prepare themselves for the second thing they knew had been coming: the playoffs. The Lady Cards travelled to Smithville to take on Nixon-Smiley in a game that was never very competitive as they ran out to a huge victory to claim their spot in the second round and surpass last year’s postseason run.
