Football Prize Rises to $500!
It is proving to be very, very hard to pick the outcome of 10 football games. We had a record-breaking 94 entries in last week’s reader pick-it contest, but for the fourth week in a row, no one was able to pick the outcome of all 10 games correctly (the most missed game was the Houston Texan’s win over Jackonsville.) So the prize, sponsored by Oviedo Auto Group, now jumps to $500.
Lady Leps Sweep Smithville
Whether it was the starters or the reserves in Friday, the La Grange volleyball team just kept rolling past Smithville. The Lady Leps blasted the Lady Tigers 25-14, 25-14, 25-16 to improve to 20-18 overall and 6-1 in district. “It was nice to get to play everybody and it goes to show that we can put anybody in from our bench and they can come in and do a job,” said La Grange head coach Leslie Coltrain. “It’s a competitive day every day in our gym during practice and that got reflected tonight.” Camille Gonzalez led the Lady Leps in kills with 16 and Maddi Fritz had 14. Hailey Hill led in digs with 12 and Jena Jobb had 10. Hill and Hailey Cooper each had two aces. In assists, Hill led with 13 and Fritz had 10, and Gonzalez had two blocks. The Lady Leps play at Taylor Tuesday as they continue to navigate through the second half of district play. “I just want to see us continue to do the little things right,” Coltrain said. Friday’s win keeps the Lady Leps all alone in second place in district as they try to stay within striking distance of first place Giddings. The Lady Leps have a rematch with the Lady Buffs Friday Oct. 21 in Giddings.

Smithville Beats La Grange 14-10 in Defensive Battle
La Grange and Smithville have played one another in football almost every year for the past century. But rarely in this historic rivalry of Highway 71 neighbors have points been so hard to come by. In the district opener for both teams Friday at Leopard Stadium, Smithville beat La Grange 14-10. The win snapped a fourgame losing streak for the Tigers, while the Leps now face an uphill battle to get back in the playoff race. “This was all about perseverance,” said Smithville head coach Cyril Adkins. “These kids deserve to win, but I tell them all the time just because you think you deserve something, nobody’s just going to give it to you.” Neither defense was giving away much of anything Friday.
