Warhorse Head Basketball Coach Jacob Alegria is wasting little time getting his players game action as they have now played 8 ballgames in about two weeks after yesterday’s contest against Laredo Martin and hit the road to Jourdanton this Saturday after their tryptophan has hopefully worn off from their Thanksgiving turkey.

Devine defeated the San Antonio Highland Owls 70-60 behind the strong scoring of Mason Beaver who knocked down 32 points. Karson Ray was next with 16.
Ray’sean Beaver dealt 10 assists while Tanner Davis was hauling down 15 rebounds against the Owls.

With football playoffs still going on around the area and other basketball teams just getting rolling, Warhorse JV basketball coach Zac Valenzuela shook some things up in order to keep his tournament flowing flawlessly and getting all of his players ample time to prove their game-worthiness on the court.
“With multiple teams backing out of the Devine JV Tournament, we found ourselves needing to adjust on the fly,” Valenzuela stated matter of factly. “The solution was simple. Split our roster in half and create two squads, Devine 1 and Devine 2. Instead of dividing the teams myself, I selected two captains and allowed the players to ‘draft’ their groups in a classic snake-draft format.”
Group one was dubbed “The Mckey’s” due to their captain being Jacob McKee. McKee and his band of players including Jack Bandel, Shawn Lowe, Martin Rios, Jack Rumfield, and Sergion DeLeon
Devine 1 dropped both of their matchups according to Valenzuela, as he stated, “We fell just short in a tight 56 to 57 loss to Pleasanton, then battled through a 52 to 61 defeat to a resilient Dilley squad.”
Valenzuela points out that it is still very early in the season.

The Warhorses arrived at Bob Shelton Stadium determined, confident, and ready to swing with the experienced Cougars for four quarters and, for long stretches of the game, the Warhorses did just that. But a barrage of explosive plays by quicker Jarrell proved too much to overcome, as Devine fell 66–28 in Friday night’s Class 4A Division II Bi-District matchup.
The Warhorses rushed for over 200 yards, found success through the air at some really opportune times, and showed plenty of intestinal fortitude on both sides of the ball despite the final outcome.
But…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com. You will get instant access to our full E-edition, and begin getting the newspaper delivered to your home next week for $36 a year in Medina County. Support important local city, county, and school news like this!
