The turnover bug and ineffectiveness at the free throw line ultimately cost Devine a victory in their 60-58 loss in Pleasanton on January 20. The Horses committed 26 turnovers that led directly to 17 points for the Eagles. Devine only made 3 of 11 from the charity stripe (27%) in the two-point defeat.
Things looked good for the Horses early as they had leads of 14-13 at the end of the first period and 29-25 at the break.
Devine still led by 45-42 going into the final period but cold shooting by the Horses (21%) and the Eagles points off turnovers (6) and their 10-0 run eventually led to the 60-58 final score.

Devine got an all-important win in Pleasanton to begin the second round of District 27-4A action as the Arabians took down the Lady Eagles rather easily 45-23. Devine lost to Pleasanton in the first round, so this evened things up between them in case any tiebreakers are needed at the conclusion of district play on February 10.
Kenadi Marek had a tremendous night scoring 20 points including 7 in the fourth quarter as Devine solidified their victory.
Kyrie DuBose scored all 8 of her points in the first half and Karsyn DeLeon nailed her 6 points all in the first frame as the Arabians bolted to a 27-12 halftime advantage. Caroline Suhr scored 6 of her 7 points in the second half.
Devine’s defense was tenacious all evening, limiting Pearsall to only six points in each of the first three periods then lowering that number to 5 in the fourth.
Madi De La Garza scored 4 points while Devine also got major contributions from Gigi Madrid, Lily Owen, Kalli Bedford, Hali Carroll, and Aaliyah Moralez.

Mustangs keep hopes high

The Natalia Mustangs have had a rough two weeks as they battle to cement themselves as one of the top teams in the district. The Mustangs have dropped their last four games: Lytle they fell 30-81, lost to Hondo 56-58, lost to Crystal City 36-83 and then dropped their game to Cotulla 42-59. At time of press, the Mustangs are in sixth place in district with a record of 3-4. They are one game behind Cotulla who sits in fourth. With the season coming to an end, head coach Justin Welsh said the team is excited to climb back up the district standings and secure a spot in the postseason.
“Our kids understand what’s at stake, but more importantly, they’re focused on competing the right way every night,” Welsh said. “If we take care of our preparation and play with energy and discipline, we like our chances to put ourselves where we want to be as we move into the final seven games of district.”
In their matchup against Lytle, Welsh said the Pirates played with more energy than they did and kept them out of rhythm.
“Lytle did a good job of jumping on us early and never really let us settle into the game,” Welsh said. “We rely on one end of the floor to build consistency on the other, and when you’re not getting stops or scoring, that can make it difficult to get anything going. This loss gives us something to learn from and the biggest thing is putting it behind us and attacking the next one with the right mindset.”
During the matchup against Hondo, Welsh felt they had control over the game for…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

The Natalia Lady Mustangs fell to Crystal City 28-76 and then dropped one against Cotulla 19-37. The Lady Mustangs are currently seventh in the district ranking with an overall record of 9-22.
Despite the outcome, head coach Steven Spangler said he was pleased with the squad’s performance against Crystal City. Spangler tipped his hat to the Javelinas, stating “they are just a really good team, and sometimes that’s what you face.”
“Cotulla however, I felt like we fell into a rut and couldn’t get out of it,” Spangler said. “Nothing would fall and that just turned into quick sand on the court.”
Despite the rough stretch of games, the Lady Mustangs have continued to elevate their overall skill level each week. Their ball handling and ability to initiate the offense has drastically improved compared to the beginning of the season. Spangler attributes the team’s development to their diligent work in practice stating the “harder they go” during practice, the more confident they will be in the game.”
“We have them work on it every day and encourage them to get out of their comfort zone in practice so that they can understand their limitations in games.”
With high school basketball on its last leg of the season, the Lady Mustangs’ playoff hopes are dim. However, Spangler emphasized that…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

At time of press, Lytle sits fourth in the district with an overall record of 7-19, but have a district record of 5-4. With the season coming into its final stretch, the Lady Pirates will continue to fight and punch their ticket to the post season.

While not flawless, the first 28 minutes of Devine’s game against district-leading Pleasanton saw the Horses getting the better end of the stick as they led 58-50 after Mason Beaver’s corner three with 4:08 to go in the final frame.
However, scoring went silent for Devine as those were the last points the Warhorses registered as the Eagles fought back for the 60-58 win.
The turnover bug hit Devine hard in this one as each player committed at least two miscues. The Horses finished with 20 as a team and the Eagles turned those mistakes into 16 points
Devine won the shooting percentage stat 47% to 40%, but the Eagles grabbed 14 offensive rebounds and turned those into 20 second chance points.
Mason Beaver had a team-high 23 points to go along with 5 steals while Christian Beaver chipped in 13 points. Tanner Davis led in rebounding with 9 and Karson Ray had 8.
