The JV Horses dropped a 45-42 heartbreaker against the Owls in Hondo on December 3. Tied at 42, Hondo hit a three-pointer with 49 seconds left to pull out the win in front of their home folks.
It was no doubt a tight one as teams exchanged leads nine different times throughout the ball game. Devine trailed 9-8 after the first quarter but bounced back nicely in the second quarter taking a 20-16 lead into the break.
Dylan Hinnant led the way with 11 points while Jacob McKee grabbed 11 boards. Becker Byrd dished out 5 assists.
Others scoring were McKee with 9 points, Byrd 6, Caden Mann 6, Shawn Lowe 6, Jace Martinez 2, and Sergio DeLeon 2.
Team members contributing in other ways besides scoring were Jack Rumfield, Gavin Sanchez, and Rex Hershberger.
Devine was off last Friday as the varsity Horses were in Decatur for a tournament and played Bandera December 10.
