After falling to San Marcos on Friday, 61-54, boys basketball got back on track with a 63-55 triumph over Schertz Clemens. Zayden High paced the team with 14 points in a game that saw just 12 total points scored in the third quarter. The team stands at 17-9 (6-2 in district) heading into a Comal ISD showdown with New Braunfels Canyon on Friday.

Girls basketball extended their winning streak to three following victories over New Braunfels and Schertz Clemens by a combined 36 points. In the latter, Trinity Garrett dropped 19 points to raise her season average to a teetering-on-double-digits 9.9. The squad now sits at 24-5 (8-2), but a grueling final two weeks await. Three of the final four games – at New Braunfels Canyon (19-11, 5-5), at Converse Judson (24-8, 9-1) and vs Cibolo Steele (24-8, 8-2) – are potential marquee matchups. Run the table, and top-seeded playoff run awaits. Lose out, and a #3 seed presents a much larger challenge.
