Lions led 1-0 when Garcia scored his 10th

Two-time All-District First Teamer and All-Academic member, Lynnashia Brooks, a 5’10 forward, has signed a scholarship to study and play at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Tx. She averaged 12 points and 9 rebounds a game for HC Shalyn Colbert.

Second-year HC Casey Waterman-Anderson, a SAGU grad, has made great strides with Ennis girls softball team, even after posting a 22-17 record a year ago. While the Lady Lions’ 9-4 district mark was second only to Forney’s (31-7-1) 12-0 blitz in league action, Anderson has rebuilt and retooled a squad that has gotten off to a 14-3-2 start.

District 14-5A champion, Lancaster (29-5), reached the state championship in boys basketball with a 44-31 throttling of Amarillo (34-5) on Thursday in San Antonio. The matchup could be a defensive stalemate if the semi-final action carries over into Saturday’s title game.
