Shorthorns’ Late Heroics Down Thorndale

Like La Grange, the Schulenburg boys basketball team rallied to win a dramatic first round playoff game Tuesday.

Trailing by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter, the Shorthorns came back to beat Thorndale 52-51 at Cedar Creek.

Schulenburg’s Manny Herrera hit a three-pointer with 30 seconds left in the game to cut the Thorndale lead to 51-50.

Thorndale missed a pair of free-throws, Herrera got the rebound and Kenny Schramek hit the game winning shot with 10 seconds left in the game.

Thorndale got off a final shot, but Keisean Johnson got the rebound to preserve the win.

The Shorthorns now advance to play Mumford in the second round Thursday Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. in Taylor.
