The Varsity Lytle Lady Pirates basketball team has been making strides with each game played. In their game against Fall City, the Pirates fought their way back into the mix, even out-scoring Beavers in the second quarter, but ultimately fell 26-37.

The Lytle Varsity Pirates have started their season 1-2, all three games have been super competitive and head coach Arturo Vela highlighted how the boys have been competing no matter who was on the floor.
Lytle’s first two games of the season were road games, to start your season on enemy territory is an uphill battle but Vela said their mindset was to “stay together and be tough.”
“The mindset was to stay together and be tough,” Vela said. “Road games force you to be disciplined, and these early experiences will help us later when district road games get tight.”

The Lady Pirates basketball have picked up a preseason win on their home court against Utopia High School. Lytle, now 1-2, continues to grow and become more comfortable on the court, despite only having eight players these last two games. Their defensive tenacity coupled with their ability to respond to adversity, will serve as a solid foundation to work off of as district play approaches.
Vs. Navarro
In their first road game of the season, the Lady Pirates fell to the Navarro Panthers in a hard fought battle, 32-54. Wilson said once…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.
