Somerville High School -

12-12-20 Somerville 37 vs Thrall 53 Points: Dominic Tucker 18 Arvis Burns 8 Gardner Shivers 6 Brandyn Carter 3 Verkobe Woodberry 2 Game notes: We were down 3 at halftime and down 4 at the end of the 3rd quarter. We simply had nothing left for the 4th quarter. Again we were short-handed. Jesus Espinoza was out with an injury and Brandyn Carter left the game in the 1st half and was unable to return. The effort was good considering how physically and emotionally drained we were from the tough hard-fought Milano game. Thrall did a great job on the boards and their zone disrupted our offense. It was an opportunity for our younger players to get a lot of varsity playing experience. This week we have 3 tough home games. 12-15-20 vs Leon JV 5 PM & Varsity 6:15 PM 12-18-20 vs Rosebud- Lott JV 2 PM & Varsity 3:15 PM 12-19-20 vs Lampasas JV 1 PM & Varsity 2:15 PM Coach Billy Ramey

12/8/2020 Boys Varsity Basketball Somerville 35 vs Calvert 53 Scoring: Dominic Tucker 7 Jesus Espinoza 6 Arvis Burns 6 Brandyn Carter 5 Herschel Conway 5 Verkobe Woodberry 4 Jaret Pinkerton 2 Gardner Shivers 0 Game notes: Calvert has a special team this season. It was a good opportunity to host them. They dominated on the boards. They limited us to one shot and offensively they had multiple offense rebounds. They scored most of their points in the lane.

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
