‘Shoot for the stars, aim for playoffs’, is exactly what the girls basketball team did. Last year they were only two points away from a playoff spot losing to Canyon. This year however they secured a spot winning 47-39 against Canyon in what was at first a close game. 

“For us, going to playoffs is a great accomplishment because we’ve been focused on it all year,” sophomore Cyanna Cavazos said.

The same night they secured a playoff spot was when Pieper won against Tivy 47-43. Because of that, the lady rangers did have a chance to give themselves a better position in playoffs by three way tying for second place along with Pieper and Kerrville Tivy.

Unfortunately this last Tuesday they lost to Pieper 40-52 and ended their district season with a record of 9-5 leaving them in fourth place, Tivy in third, and Pieper in second.

Though the job isnt done yet. They will now be competing in the first round of playoffs against the 5A Region IV District 25 Champs Glenn high school. Glenn is ranked number 18th in Texas Rankings on Maxxpreps with an overall record of 31-2 and a district record of 13-1. 

The girls are looking to keep their heads up high and bring the same intensity they’ve been bringing to tough teams such as Pieper and Tivy.

The lady rangers are in for a tough battle looking to come out with a win. They will play at 6 p.m. at Kyle Lehman high school.

“This playoff run means a lot because it’s the beginning of the end for the seniors,” senior Heavyn Carter said. ‘We’ve all been together for so long and as hard as this season has been, I want it to last as long as possible.”
