Leps Sink Giddings On Nate Scott’s Buzzer-Beater

The La Grange boys basketball team has a lot of momentum as they head into the playoffs next week.

In a battle to decide third place in District 20-4A, La Grange beat the Buffaloes in Giddings Tuesday in the regular season finale thanks to a buzzerbeating jump shot by Nate Scott, which gave the Leps a 42-41 win.

Jaxon Cooper led the Leps in scoring with 19 points and Scott added 12 as La Grange improved to 16-14 overall and 8-4 in district.

The Leps now advance to play Salado (22-12) next Tuesday Feb. 22 in Cameron starting at 7 p.m. in the first round of the 4A boys playoffs.
