Michael Jackson’s Thriller hit the charts February 26, 1983, almost 40 years ago to the date Lytle’s most recent “thriller” of a ballgame hit the charts…or bottom of the net, for that matter…as Calyssa Sevier literally snapped the net with a three-pointer with her Lady Pirates down one and under 16-seconds on the clock that gave them the Area Championship over Edna 66-65.
“OMG!” exclaimed Head Coach Lori Wilson afterwards. “If you were not in Seguin last Friday night you missed a thriller!”
Edna gave all they had, but Lytle had more in their tank late in the game and they..
