Taylor

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Huddle. Today we will be discussing the Ja Morant situation currently ongoing in the NBA.

GRANGER – The Granger Lady Lions basketball season was memorable for the players, coaches and fans, but it is about to get better. In addition to the Lady Lions making the playoffs after everyone counted them out, they also had a couple of players make the all-district teams.

Raelynn Johnson, Autree Kelm, and Riley Luton each drove in two runs, and Miley Pokorny scattered seven hits over seven innings and struck out 10, to lead the Thrall Tigerettes (5-5-2 overall, 1-0 District 27-2A) to an 8-4 district-opening win over Rosebud-Lott Tuesday night.

LULING – Ashlyn Jarosek came off the bench to score a gamehigh 20 points, and a swarming Tigerettes defense held Ganado to five field goals, as Thrall (25-11) captured the bi-district title with a 52-29 Tuesday night in Luling.

MANOR – After a slow start, the Taylor Ducks basketball team ended the regular season dominating the back half of district play. The Taylor Ducks defeated the Manor New Tech Titans 63-53, Tuesday, Feb.

TEMPLE – The Taylor Lady Ducks season came to an end Thursday night in Temple after falling to the Connally Cadets 55-33 in the Area playoff game. While the loss in the game was tough for the Lady Ducks, they emphasized an even bigger loss after the game.

Thrall High School’s Tyler Bonkowski, was honored this past week as a Padilla Coaches Poll 2A-D1 1st Team All-State Tight End. This is a tremendous accomplishment and honor for the versatile junior; however, this honor goes much deeper than stats alone.

When the clock hit zero Tuesday night at the Duck Pond to signal the end of the game, the Lady Ducks found themselves with their sixth win in a row and first place in district. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Taylor fans in attendance stood up to give the Taylor Lady Ducks a loud and passionate standing ovation.

LA GRANGE – The Taylor Ducks defeated the La Grange Leopards 53-48 Tuesday night on the road to keep themselves in the mix for the last playoff spot. The Ducks got major contributions from seniors Anthony Cottrill and Conner Cobb with junior Treos Richardson lending a helping hand as well in the winning effort.

GRANGER – The Thrall Tigerettes (21-10 overall, 6-2 District 27-2A) raced out to a 14-3 lead in the first quarter of Tuesday night’s match-up with the Granger Lady Lions (4-15, 3-6), and never looked back as they coasted to a 66-24 win.
