The Columbus Cardinals’ varsity basketball team has yet to lose in district play, and if the recent trend of hot shooting continues, opposing teams will have a tough time adding that first loss to the Cards’ record. The three-point shot was a big weapon for the Cards once again over the past week as they used some big performances from Cristian Reyna and Trace Braden to take back-to-back wins over Tidehaven and then Palacios. 01/18/2023 12:00 AM

Ladycats drop game against Ganado

The Weimar Ladycats had only one game this past week after having an off day on Friday. Despite the break, they may have been chomping at the bit to get back on the court to redeem themselves after dropping a close game against the Ganado Lady Indians. Weimar had a strong game and kept things close because of their defense which has been elite all season. However, they did not find enough scoring late to get over the hump as they fell to the 37-35 defeat. 01/18/2023 12:00 AM
