SISD's Strategic Planning Committee Meeting: Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at 5:30 PM!

12-4-20 Boys Varsity Basketball: Yeguas 41 Fayetteville 28 Points: Brandyn Carter 11 Arvis Burns 9 Herschel Conway 6 Jesus Espinoza 5 Verkobe Woodberry 4 Gardner Shivers 4 Dominic Tucker 2 Game Notes: Tonight we were able to beat Fayetteville at their place despite multiple team players. Arvis Burns, an all- Brazos county player, only played 3-4 minutes of the 2nd half. So it was a great opportunity for our players to step up in a road varsity game. With Arvis out junior Verkobe Woodberry was the only upperclassman on the court for us. He provided the leadership we needed. Our sophomores (Brandyn Carter, Jesus Espinoza, & last season new-comer of the year Dominic Tucker) all played very well for us. Brandyn led us in scoring and showed flashes of how talented he is. Jesus & Dominic controlled the paint for us. Our two freshmen (Herschel Conway & Gardner Shivers) both played a lot of minutes and really stepped up. Gardner did a little of everything for us and Herschel made two 3s & provided some good defensive pressure. Next game 12-8-20 We host the #1 pre-season 1A team according to Dave Campbell's Texas Basketball magazine Calvert. We look forward to the challenge. It will be a rematch of last season's tough OT battle at the Bremond Tournament championship game. Thank you. Coach Billy Ramey
