11-19-2020 Junior Varsity Boys Basketball vs. Stockdale
The Junior Varsity boys hosted Stockdale last night, November 18th, in their third game of the season. We haven't had much practice time prior to this week, so we were looking forward to seeing improvement after a solid couple days practice. The JV boys did not disappoint. Behind a dominant defensive performance, the JV Pirates put the game out of reach from very early on. At halftime, the boys led 26-2 and continued their dominant performance for the last 2 quarters. The JV Pirates were led in scoring by Dustin Tumlinson with 12 points, Andres Cardenas with 11 points and Deven Caldera with 8 points.

11-18-2020 Girls' Varsity Basketball Beat Marion
The girls traveled to Marion last night, November 17th, and picked up another road win beating Marion. We were up 29-27 going into the half. We are still trying to figure out why we start off the first half with the jitters because once settled in these girls can go the distance. We scored 38 points in the second half and outscored Marion 22-8 in the 4th quarter. Our defense continues to wear down our opponents with our 4 guards putting constant pressure from our press. Freshmen Calyssa Sevier had another 28 point showing with 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 steals. The beauty about her is she is so unselfish she would rather pass to her teammates then shoot the ball. Fizz Hutton had 10 points and 4 steals we are so glad she found Lytle she brings that extra defense we need. Kylie Mask had 9 points, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 charge. Noelia Medina had 9 points. Alex Nagelin came off the bench and gave some valuable minutes scoring 2 points and getting 2 steals. Martinez had 4 points and Moreno and Ramos both had 2 points. Whitfield came off the bench and gave us some spark on the back of our press and scored 1 point. These girls are still building the chemistry and are getting better every day. With all the craziness in the world when we are on the court it all seems to disappear. The girls are now 2-1. Go Pirates!!

11-18-2020 7th Grade Girls' Basketball Win Against Natalia
The 7th Grade basketball girls played their very first game on Thursday Nov. 12th against Natalia, in our home gym. The game was tied in the first at 4-4. Then at the 2nd we took the lead by one point. The girls did a great job, for this being their first game of the season. I’m proud to say that no one on our team took a shot at the wrong basket…lol In the 3rd the girls were still up by one point 13-12 and it was a close quarter. The girls got aggressive in the 4th and stopped Natalia from scoring, we managed to take the lead and scored 10 points in the last quarter, winning the game. Great job and team work.

11-17-2020 Football, Cheerleader and Trainer Fatheads magically appear at stadium just in time for Homecoming!
Sometimes what appears to be magic is very hard work disguised by fun, engaging challenges. Good news can be hard to come by, and I'm late in sending this out, but I didn't want to miss the chance to recognize some of Mr. Mumme's Commercial Photo Students and my Advanced Media students who pulled a rabbit out of the hat for our Homecoming Football Game back in October. In just a matter of two days, students worked together to complete photography, designs, printing and hanging of 43 fatheads at the stadium. Many used their lunch time, after school time and ANY time they could squeeze in to finish a big job. I was so proud of their hard work and diligence that I took some photos and videos and they put this short video together that showcases their beautiful results. Of course, I can't let this note go out without recognizing our 'Wizard Behind the Curtain' Ms. Dale Mather. She was sweet-talking, cajoling, and waving her magic wand over our poster printer to make sure it wouldn't jam, overheat, or simply die on us. I even overheard her offer it cheesecake if it would keep spitting out our print jobs. The district is blessed to have her bubbly spirit working to keep our students successful.

11-16-2020 8th Grade Lady Pirates vs Natalia
On Thursday, November 12, the 8th Grade Lady Pirates hosted the Natalia Mustangs. The girls have been working hard to come back stronger this year and make improvements from last year. Although they did not come up with a win the girls have improved so much from last year. The girls defense has improved and they were able to hold Natalia to under 30. The final score was in favor of Natalia. Unfortunately, the game for this week was cancelled so the girls are off until they meet Natalia again on Dec. 3. Thank you to everyone who is able to come support the girls, it means so much to the them. Natalia 23 – 17 Lytle

11-16-2020 Girls Varsity Basketball Beats Comfort
The Lady Pirates traveled to Comfort Friday night, November 13th, and picked up their first win of the season. We started out a little rusty and tied the score up at the half 14-14 from that score you can tell shots were not falling for either team. We went into a classroom for the half and made some adjustments and talked about how our defense needed to shift into third gear. Not only did our defense get on fire so did our offense and we scored 39 points in the second half. This year’s group is able to press our opponents the whole game and we were able to run the gas out of Comfort in the 4th.

11-15-2020 Band Region UIL Marching Results

Rutledge Stadium (Judson ISD). The UIL judges were unanimous in awarding a 1st Division rating to the Pirate Band, giving us the top UIL rating for Marching for three years in a row!
