Top 25 ranked Ladycats drop lowest scoring game, rebound in next matchup

Weimar Ladycats’ varsity basketball team had an up and down week as they played in two games with different results.

They had a much stronger outing in their second game of the week as the offense picked up potency. They ran all over Louise on the way to a huge blowout win to end the week. In the most recent state poll released by the Texas Girls’ Coaches Association, Weimar came in at no. 25 as one of the top 2A teams in the state. 01/11/2023 12:00 AM
