Despite the frigid temperatures and the strong winds, the Lady Blues opened the new season with an early scrimmage last Monday, Jan. 28 at home. Graham saw plenty of positives in a pre-season practice against Comanche.
With some of the players still playing basketball, every softball girl had a chance to display their skills against a talented Class 3A program.
Although the Graham High School soccer program is in its second year of existence, last Tuesday night meant more than a win.
The Steers put together one of their more impressive wins in memory by delivering a thrilling 1-0 win over Decatur at Newton Field. With the victory, it gave the program their first-ever winning streak over varsity opponents.
Newcastle girls basketball head coach Layton Westmoreland knows all about the tradition and legacy the Ladycats basketball program is all about.
Westmoreland’s veteran-squad got one step closer to winning another district championship Tuesday by taking down Throckmorton by a final score of 55-40.
“We must close out against Bryson on Friday,” Westmoreland said. “With their win over Perrin tonight, they (Bryson) stay just two games behind us.”
Having an entire roster available can make a difference. On Friday, the Lady Blues soccer team’s depth was displayed in a big way leading to a 4-3 nail-biting win over Springtown at Newton Field in front of their home fans.
With varsity girls basketball off for the night, head coach Misty Mills had the luxury of having three of her extra players available. Ultimately, it mad a big difference in the outcome.
“Of course with our basketball team off tonight we were able to have the three girls who play both and it made a big difference,” Mills said. “
The Graham girls’ basketball team turned the momentum in the fourth quarter and picked up a huge, hard-fought district road win over Burkburnett on Tuesday evening.
Senior guard Ryan Gober came up clutch in the final few minutes to help the Lady Blues earn the 55-47 victory over the Lady Bulldogs at Burkburnett High School gym.
Gober’s ability to drive to the basket proved to be crucial down the stretch. Burkburnett, which led for almost all of the first three quarters, had no answer for the duo of Gober and 6-foot-3 post Cammi Teplicek in the fourth.
Steers head coach Marcus Morris knows how special Marc Tate is.
The senior has proved to be a crucial part of the Steers’ success this season and proved to be exactly that on Friday.
Tate made sure Graham (16-8, 3-0) started the way they wanted as he took over late and lifted the Steers to a 47-37 victory over Wichita Falls Hirschi at Graham High School gymnasium.
The Iowa Park boys’ basketball team opted to try to slow down their District 6-4A matchup with Graham rather than run with the Steers. It didn’t work. Graham filled up the basketball early and often as it cruised to a 57-33 victory over the Hawks last Friday evening at the Graham High School gymnasium.
One thing Newcastle coach Layton Westmoreland emphasized to his team was getting off to a fast start. His team got the message and then some Friday night. In their district opener, the Ladycats took control early by jumping out to a fast 18-5 advantage after the first quarter on their way to a dominating 74-19 win over Graford for their third straight win.
