The Schulenburg volleyball team officially clinched the district title with a sweep of Ganado Friday. The Lady Horns won 25-9, 25-7, 25-9 to improve to 31-9 overall and 9-1 in district.

In as dominating a performance as they’ve had in at least three years, the La Grange football team manhandled Gonzales on the road Friday in a 34-0 win. It was the first time since 2018 (in a 29-0 win that year over Brookshire) that the Leps held an opponent scoreless.

The Schulenburg Shorthorns didn’t have any answers for Ganado Friday as the Indians won 35-0 in District 13-2A football action. The Shorthorns were able to move the football (gaining 235 yards) but again had trouble finding the endzone.

La Grange’s Phillip Arceneaux (19) and Andrew Faske (11) chase down Gonzales’ Derrick Garza. La Grange’s Dana Baker makes an acrobatic interception, one of his two picks Friday.

Gonzales vs. La Grange When: 7:30 p.m.

On October 14 the La Grange Leopard Swim Team traveled to the Blue Bell Aquatic Center for a swim meet with the 5A Brenham Cubs. For the first time in nine seasons the Lady Leps tied the Brenham Lady Cubs in the team rankings with a score of 71.

The La Grange varsity volleyball team lost to Victoria St. Joseph Tuesday in a nondistrict match 17-25, 10-25, 16-25.

The Fayetteville boys cross country team and the Round Top-Carmine girls ran away with the district titles Oct. 13 at Festival Hill.

Schulenburg football player Tyler Ryba has taken over the quarterback position for the Shorthorns as a sophomore and has been a great fit for the team’s spread offense. In Schulenburg’s most recent 49-0 win against Weimar last Friday, Ryba rushed for 198 yards and three touchdowns. “For a sophomore, he’s been very mature,” said Schulenburg head football coach Walt Brock. “He helps lead and does a really good job on his reads. He’s done a great job for us.” Ryba stepping into a big role and impressing in the early stages of his career has awarded him a spot for this edition’s Athlete of the Week.
