Lady Pirates Martinez, Pitino, Sevier, & Whitfield THSCA Academic All-State

Jerel Beaty
Staff Writer
Four Lady Pirate senior basketball team members gained recognition for their efforts in the classrooms of Lytle High School as Amelia Martinez, Lola Pitino, Calyssa Sevier, and Katara Whitfield made the Texas High School Coaches Association Academic All-State Team.
THSCA tabulates graduating seniors’ grade point average (92+), class rank, and standardized test scores in placing them on a team that fits those demographics. THSCA does not factor in a school’s classification, and there are no limits to how many may be included at each level.
All four of these students made the Honorable Mention Academic All-State Team.
Congratulations Amelia, Lola, Calyssa, and Katara for being the true definition of what a student-athlete is supposed to be.

District 29-4A has not been a bed of roses thus far for Head Coach Heath Poppe and his Warhorse baseball team as they dropped their first two league games prior to their March 19 tilt against Pleasanton.
Devine lost back-to-back leads against Uvalde at home and versus Carrizo Springs at Wildcat Field to drop to 0-2.
Against the Coyotes Devine led 3-2 going into the top of the 7th before the roof fell in and Uvalde escaped with the 7-3 victory. In Carrizo Springs, the Horses were up by the slimmest of margins at 2-1 going into the bottom of the 6th inning before the Wildcats tied it at 2 apiece.
