Schulenburg The Schulenburg volleyball team defeated Shiner Friday 25-12, 25-19, 25-14 as the Lady Horns improved to 15-8 overall and 6-0 in district. Morgan Marburger had 27 assists and 13 digs.

For the first time in recent memory all the Fayette County footballs teams had scheduled off weeks last Friday, but football’s back this week in a big way. The La Grange Leopards are riding a three-game win streak as they travel to Cuero for a district opener against a Gobblers team that is suddenly looking a lot better after a 0-3 start.

At the Shiner Cross County meet last week, Schulenburg’s Taylor Limbaugh continued her winning ways finishing first with a time of 11:45. The boys team finished 3rd overall. The next action is a practice meet this Thursday at 4:30 at the Schulenburg Sports Complex.

The La Grange volleyball team welcomed the Austin Achieve Polar Bears to La Grange for the first time Tuesday. And the Lady Leps made very quick work of the visitors, winning 25-6, 25-7, 25-1 in La Grange’s most lopsided victory of the season.

Brooke Schobel is a senior volleyball player at Round Top-Carmine high school and has recently led her team to an undefeated 6-0 start in district. She also paved the way to a state semifinals bid last year and is on stride to do so this year as well. “Brooke comes as a natural leader to our team,” said Round Top-Carmine head volleyball coach Caitie Carney. “She leads by example. She has gotten more verbal in her years, speaking up more and is our team captain this year. She plays a very dynamic role for us, plays all the way around, and she’s a crucial piece of our team.” In Schobel’s last two games vs. Fayetteville and Burton, she’s combined for 23 kills, two solo blocks, three assist blocks, and 26 digs. With these kind of stats, Schobel has ran away with this edition’s Player of the Week honors.

Undersized at defensive tackle last year, John Garza is in a better position to contribute this football season. The La Grange High School graduate said he has moved to strongside linebacker for Lamar University, which is scheduled to compete during the spring.

The Fayetteville volleyball team defeated Richards Tuesday 25-10, 25-10, 25-14 to improve to 9-4 overall and 5-1 in district. The Lady Lions’ Brooklen Jaeger had 16 kills, Kayme Schley had nine and Mattie Konvicka had seven.
