The Schulenburg boys basketball team took on Grapeland High School Tuesday night in a state semifinal contest that was held at the Campbell Center of Aldine and fell short with a final score of 74-60.

Schulenburg senior basketball player Alex Lozano is a 6’8” center that flourishes in all parts of the game. He utilizes his long arms for rebounding and blocking shots and also has one of, if not the best, three point stroke on the team. Lozano played a key part in the Shorthorns road to the state tournament by hitting clutch shots in the postseason and causing problems for teams down in the paint and low block. The game of basketball is evolving in a way that big men are beginning to develop an outside shot at the college and pro level, but to have a player with Lozano’s height and skill set from the perimeter at the high school level is rare. The body of work he has produced in a phenomenal season for the Shorthorns. Lozano is this edition’s Player of the Week.
