8th Grade A Team
8th Grade A Team put up a defensive fight against Pearsall Dogies, but came up short with a score of 14-32. After only one day of full team practice these girls have done an amazing job of stopping them with our press, now our next goal will be to take care of the ball and limit our turnovers. Defense was our strong part of the game! We are starting to read the passers eyes and intercept the ball. Overall I am proud of how the girls fought the whole game. Scoring for Bandera was Briley Clark 7 points, 2 points each from Mia Ranly, Jessa Haws, Leighann Spangler and Pyper Barnard with 1 point.
8th Grade B team
The Lady Bulldog 8th grade B team overcame many obstacles, including first-game jitters, limited practice time, and missing 2 key players, to defeat Pearsall 12 to 10. The Lady dogs started out slow, falling behind by 4 points in the first quarter, but they found their defensive groove in the second half and battled back for a 4th quarter come-from-behind win.
