Hutto High School girls varsity basketball standout senior Alyssa Batton (25) drives to the basket Feb. 6 during the Lady Hippos’ 57-38 victory at home on senior night over rival Pflugerville Weiss High School. The Lady Hippos (15-20 overall record) made their first playoff appearance since moving up to 6A and were dealt a lopsided 100-35 defeat at the hands of Duncanville High School. The Pantherettes, the No. 18 team nationally in the MaxPreps rankings, are a perennial powerhouse as one of the top teams in Texas.
