The Houston family has a long history of great athletes in Schulenburg, and junior Daterrion Houston is adding to that legacy. He was an all-district running back in football this season and is a powerful force on the Shorthorns basketball team as well.

After two games of their district season, the Schulenburg boys basketball team was in a unfamiliar spot – last place. “We’re not used to that,” said longtime Shorthorns head coach Richard Hoogendoorn.

The Schulenburg girls basketball players are really young, and their new coach is really experienced. And that’s proving to be a great combination.
