The Warhorses faced two extremely tough opponents last week and despite the losses, they fought hard and made the other teams work for the wins. They played Crystal City on December 29th and Comfort on December 30th. The game against Cotulla was canceled.
Devine slowly fell behind after being tied at the half 18-18. Crystal City was able to push through the Warhorse defense for the win in the second half of the game. “As a team we must get more consistent on defense and make rebounding a priority. Have to play great team ball on the offensive end and continue to work tirelessly to improve.” Coach Paul Wells
