The Schulenburg and Round Top-Carmine volleyball teams continued their march towards a state title with victories in the regional quarterfinals Tuesday. Sweep Skidmore In Seguin, the Lady Horns beat Skidmore-Tynan 25-17, 25-22, 25-15.
Schulenburg football player Adam Thompson has contributed in many ways for a Shorthorns team that just picked up their fifth win of the season against Thrall last Friday. Thompson doesn’t only snap the ball to the quarterback as the team’s center and make blocks, he also makes tackles on the other side of the ball as a linebacker.
The Flatonia Bulldogs aren’t going to the playoffs, but they played like they were Friday, rallying from a 22-point deficit and nearly beating undefeated Holland before falling 37-36. A late two-point conversion try by Flatonia (5-5 overall, 2-4 in district) was stopped and that proved to be the game winner.
The Schulenburg Shorthorns won a shootout against the Thrall Tigers Friday night, 42-35. “We had a three week stretch with tough, tough games, and we lost on lastsecond plays two weeks ago and last week,” said Schulenburg head coach Luke Hobbs.
For all that has changed with the Leps football program in the past year (new coaches, new schemes, new stars), the postseason challenge remains the same. Just like last season La Grange will open the postseason against Madisonville.

The La Grange girls basketball team has moved its season opener against Schulenburg to Monday Nov. 6 because of the Lady Horns playoff game Tuesday. The varsity game is expected to start about 7 p.m. in La Grange.
