The Fayetteville boys cross country team won the title at the Festival Hill Invitational last week in Round Top. Top Lions runners included: 1.

Cuero JV 46, La Grange 14 The JV lost their first district game to Cuero 46-14 last week. Highlights included touchdown passes from Bennet Barber to Thai Scott and Clayton Knapik along with a two point conversion run by Doryann Fenix.

The La Grange volleyball team moved into a first-place tie with Giddings in 20-4A play Friday as the Lady Leps went on the road and downed the Lady Buffaloes 25-22, 25-21, 27-25. The victory avenges a loss La Grange suffered to Giddings in the first round of district play.

The Schulenburg volleyball team made head coach Donald Zapalac’s 500th career victory a memorable one as the Lady Horns swept Flatonia Friday 25-23, 25-19, 25-18. The victory avenges a loss the Lady Horns suffered to Fla tonia during the first round of district play this season.

Hosting the state ranked Cuero Gobblers was challenge enough for the La Grange football team. But doing so with their biggest superstar sidelined after the first offensive play? That proved to be too tall an order for the Leps as they lost 56-21 to No.

Not a single ballot turned in last week correctly predicted Texas A&M’s upset of No. 1 Alabama, so it goes without saying no one was a perfect 10-0 on their picks last week, and thus there was no $200 winner in last week’s football pick-it contest. We (and the sponsor of this contest, Fayette Savings Bank) are still itching to give away some money so we’re upping the stakes and giving away $300 if someone gets all 10 games right this week. See list of games below and remember:

The Flatonia Bulldogs soundly defeated Schulenburg Friday night 33-7 in front of a packed house on the Shorthorns’ home turf. The Horns found some success running the ball, but they lacked big plays.
