The La Grange High School Band shined at the 50th Annual Blinn Buccaneer Marching Festival Saturday, Sept. 27. The Mighty Leopard Band gave two outstanding performances at the Blinn Buccaneer Marching Festival. They placed 1st in Prelims (out of 15 Bands) and won caption awards for Outstanding Class 4A Band (among six schools) and Outstanding Overall Percussion. Their top scores earned them the last performance time in the Finals. They gave an even better show under the “Saturday Night Lights,” and brought home the 2nd Place Trophy in the Finals.

The football players aren’t the only ones putting in a lot of effort on Friday nights. During a recent game La Grange High School freshman Julia Melton said she worked so hard she chugged “five or six” bottles of water.

The Horns and Lady Horns ran at Shiner this past Saturday. In the Jr. High District Meet Daniel Moreno was 3rd overall with a time of 13:39. In the girls Jr. High district race Arely Cortez finished 3rd, Rubi Cortez 10th and Matte Bartek finished 27th.

The La Grange volleyball team defeated Giddings three sets to one Friday as the Lady Leps improved to 21-13 overall and 2-0 in district to keep them tied atop the district standings. Carley Ulrich led the Lady Leps in kills with 21 and Brion Williams had 19.

Congratulations to Greg Trlicek, who won our $100 reader football pick-it contest last week. With the Cowboys tying the Packers we gave everybody that game, but Trlicek’s was one of four ballots who got all the nine other games right too. Jason Vela was also perfect and Brian Cox turned in two perfect ballots, but Trlicek prevailed on the tiebreaker with a 42-20 prediction of the 47-26 Schulenburg win over Kenedy. Of note, Doug Stewart got nine games right, but failed to pick a winner of the Columbus/ Bellville game. A reminder to double check those ballots!

The Flatonia football team found the going tough Friday against defending state champ Ganado. Ganado beat the Bulldogs 46-0 as Flatonia drops to 3-2 overall and 0-1 in district.
