Congratulations to all the winners of the Fayetteville Christmas Display Contest. The following are this years winners: First Place and People’s Choice winner of the Fayetteville Christmas Tree Display and Contest in the individual category: Bradley.

La Grange junior Brandon Mathis is really coming into his own on the basketball court. And that’s a really scary thing for teams trying to find a way to stop the Leps and their 6-foot-8 post the rest of the season.

The La Grange boys basketball team got 19 points from Brandon Mathis and 10 from Conner Brooks as the Leps beat 5A Victoria East Friday at home 45-39. Both Mathis and Brooks grabbed a team-high nine rebounds in the game as well.

One last test before Christmas. One last chance to race under the lights before the holiday break. The La Grange Leopards Swim Team hit the road Monday evening to take on Brenham and Huntsville— both 5A schools—closing out the semester against biggerschool competition and proving once again that heart and hard work travel well.

Paige Jurecka is using her towering 5-foot-11 inch frame very well this season. Jurecka, who is just a sophomore, has emerged as an important weapon for the Fayetteville girls basketball team this season.

The Flatonia girls basketball team really lit up the scoreboard as they defeated Bloomington 100-10 Tuesday. Summer Sodek scored 25 to lead the Lady Bulldogs.

In a district basketball battle between county neighbors, the Fayetteville girls used a big second half surge to defeat Round Top-Carmine 49-26 Tuesday. The Lady Lions led by just five points at halftime, but in the blink of an eye after halftime Fayetteville upped that lead to 15 points and never looked back.
