This past weekend, December 4, 2021, the Pirates competed in the Poteet Varsity tournament and came out 3-1 against some good teams. Senior Bryson Duty and Junior Malakai Castro received first team all-tournament. The boys started off the tournament with some redemption bouncing back from Tuesday's night lost vs YMLA to beat them 61-47 on Thursday. The Pirates then ground out a tough win over Pearsall 66-63. On Friday, the boys took on a very athletic Randolph Ro hawks' team and pulled out the win 48-36. Friday night, the Pirates took on 5A Eagle Pass Winn, but after three tough wins our legs wore down and lost 72-55. It was a great showing with the Pirates going back to basics and playing defense first. The Pirates averaged 14 steals, 12 deflections, and 18 forced turnovers per game. The boys will have tomorrow off and will play Stacey HS here in Lytle on Friday night at 7:30 pm.
The Pirates are now 7-3 overall and ranked 15th in the state in 3A.
