Just another meet for the Warhorse track team as they were the top dawgs in Bandera on February 26 giving them yet another championship as they outdid Kerrville Tivy 117-101.
There have definitely been some rather fast foursomes in Devine over the years, but never in the annals of the high school history books has a 4x100m Relay team finished as quickly as Enoch Hall, Rowdy Esparza, Mikey Rodriguez, and Ryan Weinkam did at the Bulldog Invitational.
The foursome banged out a 42.77 to eclipse the “old mark” of 42.99 set just a couple of weeks ago by…the same team!
In a span of three weeks, Hall, Esparza, Rodriguez, and Weinkam have broken the school record twice and with still a month and a half to go in the season, there is a chance that the new record could go down once again…LOGIN TO CONTINUE READING at www.devinenewsmembers.com.

The season may not have started the way Head Coach Heath Poppe and his Warhorse baseball players would have liked, but they have plenty of opportunities to get things going in the right direction as a slew of tournament games happen over the next couple of weeks.
vs Canyon Lake
After five scrimmages, the season opener came at Warhorse Field on February 16 against the visiting Canyon Lake Hawks. A disastrous six-inning cost Devine an opportunity to put the first actual tick of the season in the win column, but Poppe and his troops nonetheless got better from the experience of their 12-3 loss.

The Devine Arabians went 3-2 in their latest tournament in Jourdanton over the weekend. There were flashes of the two-time defending Area champs in this youthful squad. Finding their rhythm while learning to close games has been the biggest point of emphasis for this Arabians squad, head coach Micheal Sotelo mentioned how the team is still very much learning and growing with each game. 
“The team is still trying to put the pieces to the puzzle as we are a young team this year,” Sotelo said.  “There are signs of well played softball and then there are some innings that are testing the ladies.”

Well, if ya know you know!
It did not take a sign language expert to know Devine’s playoff-seeding showdown against Pleasanton was going to be one of the bigger games in recent memory for Warhorse Nation.
Devine and Pleasanton had already played two classic matches during the District 27-4A season and had to play one more time to break a 1-1 tie with the winner getting the nod for the top Division II team in the state playoffs.
The Eagles topped Devine in the first matchup 60-58 on January 20 while the Horses returned the favor on Sessions Court 65-63 on February 13, a night that crowd tensions and finger-waving was taken to the next level.
Oh, really? No, oh Riley!
