1-23-2020 2020 Powerlifting!
The 2020 High School Powerlifting season began the first weekend of the new year on January 4th, 2020. While most students around the great state of Texas were lazing around, sleeping in, eating too much and watching bowl games on television, your powerlifters were getting up early, coming in to stretch, get cardio work in and lift. On Saturday morning, they boarded the bus at 05:10am and headed out to get their 2020 competition year started. To date, they have successfully competed in two meets, Natalia and SW Legacy. Our lifters will wake up early, once again, this coming Saturday to load up and to pit their wits and ability against their competitors at Randolph Field High School where family and friends may come to show their support for our young student-athletes. Bars loaded at 9am & competition begins!

1-21-2020 Girls Varsity Basketball Beats Cotulla
The girls bounced back Friday, January 17th, and picked up a good win on the road at Cotulla by the score of 38-36. It was intense the last 30 seconds when the buzzard went off, I looked at Coach Mason and said I’m sweating like I played in the game. Free throws are just not working for us this year, we were 8/24 from the line we told the girls if we would of just made half of them we would of won big. Leading the way was Autumn Frias with 15 points and she made a clutch free throw in the final minutes. Go Pirates!!!!

1-21-2020 Robo Pirates Advance to Regionals
What has been a quick competition season for the LHS Robo Pirates will extend for at least another month! We got off to a slow start with a poor-performing robot mechanically speaking which struggled to score points in our first two meets. The initial idea was unique but just did not work very well. The team was able to use what they learned to redesign key parts of the scoring mechanism for the league championship this past Saturday with much better results. We won 6 out of 10 matches on the day to boost us to 16th place in the tournament. The judges were impressed with our team and design concept which resulted in us winning the Collins Aerospace Innovate award. More importantly, we were runner-up for the Inspire Award (given to the top all-around team) which, based on ranking criteria, qualifies the team for Regionals as the #3 team from our league!! We now have four weeks to prepare for Regionals which will be held in New Braunfels.

1-13-2020 Varsity Boys Basketball vs. Devine
This past Friday, January 10th, the Pirates took on the Devine Warhorses and came up on the losing end. The Pirates shot 21% percent from the field all game which means we could not make or buy a shot to save our lives. On the positive side of things, Senior Robert Ibarra scored 20 points and put his name in the record books hitting 1,000 career point total. Robert becomes Lytle's third player in the last two years to reach this milestone. Its unheard of for a school to have 3 players hit the 1000 mark in two years so it says a lot about the the growth of our basketball program over the last few years. If you see him please congratulate him on his accomplishment. Go Pirates!

1-7-2020 Girl's Varsity Basketball vs. Karnes City
The girls lost a heartbreaker last Friday, January 3rd, during the break to Karnes City 44-39. Finally, we have everyone back and playing and we looked good on defense and pushing the ball up the floor. We beat ourselves in the 4th quarter with some missed easy baskets and free throws. It was enough for Karnes City to steal the game away. If we can just make a few adjustments and stay mentally focused all 4 quarters these girls can make a statement starting Friday in district play. Kiara Nixon had 20 points and Autumn Frias added 8. Eleni Keith as always showed her heart and hustle the whole game. Kylie Mask showed, as always, her great defense. Freshmen Natalie Pacheco scored on a fast break lay-up. We will travel to face a good Devine team tonight, then the fun begins...DISTRICT here Friday night against Laredo!!! Go Pirates!!!
