The Arabians brought home the team championship from the Marion Tournament that was held last weekend. Devine defeated Nixon-Smiley, Marion, Long Creek, and Blanco to go spotless -0 over the three-day hoop-fest, and cooped with their December 3 win over Marion, the Arabians went 5-0 over a 5-day span.
Kylie Monreal and Airyanna Rodriguez were named to the All-Tournament Team.

Warhorses sizzle Owls, Silver Bracket runners-up in Decatur Tourney
#2 Ray’sean Beaver

Staff writer
Warhorse Head Basketball Coach Jacob Alegria had a busy, but extremely productive week last week as they destroyed the Owls in Hondo prior to hitting the pavement for the James Woods Tournament in Decatur.
“Most teams use tournaments to build chemistry and fine tune strategies before starting district play. Coaches may not always like to look at the silver lining in losses, but there were some definite positives and growth in this tournament. Some of the role players saw their roles expand and some of the starters seem to have found their groove,” Alegria stated. “We averaged just over 64 points a game for the tournament, forced opponents to 70 turnovers for an average of 17.5 a game and an average 16.3 assists a game. We look to use this tournament experience and our upcoming Yorktown Tournament to guide us the rest of the season.”
vs Hondo
Many may have been surprised that they did not have to change the singed basketball nets at halftime, on the Warhorse end of the court anyway, as they simply scorched Hondo on their home court December 3.
All 11 Horses that checked in at the scorer’s table scored at least two points in Devine’s 68-37 domination.
Devine led 24-6 after the first eight minutes and kept piling it on as they took a 40-12 lead into the more than jubilant halftime locker room before leading by as much as 52-14 midway through the third quarter.
Karson Ray led the way with 12 points and Mason Beaver posted 10 points, but it was a complete team effort all the way through. Devine shot 43% from the floor including an impressive…

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.
