The La Grange boys basketball team had a busy week last week, The Leps played five games but were only able to win one. They started the week at the Vanguard Tournament in Waco, falling to Bay Area Christian, Live Oak Classical and Vanguard College Prep, but they did beat Coram Deo Academy 58-30.

While most of their classmates were having a relaxing post-Christmas break, the La Grange girls basketball players had a busy week on the court – as district play looms just days away. Last week the Lady Leps, in a stacked field of 28 teams at The Aggieland Invitational Tournament, went 3-2, including wins over Pollack Central, Graham and Glen Rose before they fell to Bridge City and La Vernia.

The Round Top-Carmine boys basketball team won their district opener Friday, defeating Calvert 50-41. The victory improves the Cubs overall record to 6-10.

La Grange is having some midseason coaching shakeups. Brodney Pool, a former NFL defensive back, who has been the Leps football defensive coordinator and head boys soccer coach the last three seasons has resigned to take an assistant football coaching job at Eastern New Mexico University.

The Flatonia girls basketball team improved its record to a remarkable 21-2 overall and 3-0 in district with a 6735 victory over Shiner Friday. Summer Sodek had 41 points, 16 rebounds, six steals and five assists – leading the team in each of those categories.

La Grange junior Brandon Mathis is really coming into his own on the basketball court. And that’s a really scary thing for teams trying to find a way to stop the Leps and their 6-foot-8 post the rest of the season.
