Lytle Independent School District

Last night, February 1, 2022, the Pirates rolled into Cotulla seven strong and did not miss a beat. The Pirates won 71-23, keeping us in the hunt for the District Title. Down a few players, we decided not to press and just play solid half-court man defense and every Pirate available to play mastered the game plan beautifully. Seniors Caleb Wood, Jose Cortez, Emanuel Garcia and Juniors Jordan Balderaz, Malakai Castro, Jaelen Guevara, and Eli Vega executed the defense all night and held the Cotulla Cowboys to only 12 points by the end of the third quarter. Offensively, Junior Jaelen Guevara led all scorers with 26 points, while Junior Malakai Castro added 16 points with 12 points being from the 3-point line. The Pirates are now 11-1 in District.
