Boys Basketball Playoff Game! Hope to see you there: Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019, George West vs. Lytle Pirates at Falls City HS, 7 PM
KSAT reporter Jake Kobersky put together a really good story highlighting the work of Coach Hernandez and the success of our Pirate boys basketball team. It aired Sunday night around 11:35 pm, so if you were already sleeping, here's your second chance to be super proud:
February 9th, we traveled to Cotulla to participate in the Conference tournament. Our girls earned a bye and landing a game against Dilley for the semi-finals. At the half Lytle led 4-20 and continued to play with heart and skill, ending the game beating Dilley 42-6.
Saturday, February 9th, marked the last day of the Junior High Basketball Season. We hosted the 7th and 8th-grade district tournament here in Lytle.
This Saturday, February 9th, the 8th grade A team participated at an end of season single elimination tournament. A prelude to March Madness. The games had the excitement of tournament games. The team beat Jourdanton 27 - 25 to make the championship game. We ended up playing Cotulla which we had failed to beat in the regular season, but it is difficult to beat a good team three times in a season and the ladies took the challenge and won in the end 29 -25. It was an exciting day for the team as Coach Bohl and I had pointed to this tourney as the final for the team's season.
On October 19, 2018, Lytle State Bank was proclaimed a Purple Heart Bank by Lytle VFW Post No. 12041 - the first bank to receive this distinction in the nation. The Lytle High School Art Club shared in this historic occasion by creating the Purple Heart Parking Space which was unveiled in a public ceremony on December 7th, 2018.
