1-12-21 Somerville 47 VS Snook 42 Points: Brandyn Carter 11 Arvis Burns 11 Dominic Tucker 10 Johnny Legg 7 Verkobe Woodberry 6 Jesus Espinoza 2 Notes: It is always a good night when we beat our rivals, Snook. This is the back to back wins vs Snook. I am so proud of our young men. We stayed focused and played together. It has been awesome having our entire team at all of our practices leading up to the game and at the game. This entire season we have dealt with multiple injuries and illnesses. We never trailed in the game. Snook is a talented team and of course they made a run and made the game very close and competitive. Brandyn Carter led us in scoring like he always does. Brandyn's driving basket in the 4th was huge. He is only scratching the surface on how good of a player he will be. Our juniors, all three are 3-year starters, Arvis Burns, Verkobe Woodberry, and Johnny Legg all played well for us. It was only the 4th time this season the three have played together this season. Johnny has been dealing with an injury and having to miss some time with the team. This was the best game of the season for all Brazos county player, Arvis Burns. He provided the type of play we are accustomed to. He played a great floor game and his defense was impressive in the 1st half. Arvis has been dealing with an injury and illness throughout the season. DominicTucker stepped up with 10 points and played valuable minutes for us inside. Verkobe Woodberry always makes winning plays. Next game Friday at Burton. (No Fans allowed) Coach Billy Ramey

INFORMATION FOR BASKETBALL GAMES AGAINST SNOOK: Tuesday, January 12, 2021 Due to Covid-19 restrictions we have a limited seating capacity of 125 people on the home side of the Yegua gym. We realize the games against Snook are usually sold out, but in order to comply with the strict attendance policy per UIL, we will adhere to the following procedures in attending the game. The Somerville community attending the basketball games against Snook on Tuesday (1/12/21) will need to pick up a voucher to enter the gym and pay at the gate. Vouchers will be available for pick up at the Somerville ISD Administration office on Friday (1/8/21). Parents of players will be issued vouchers on Thursday 1/7/21. Both Head Basketball Coaches will do a head count on how many vouchers each player needs for immediate family only, and distribute them for players to take home. We realize this is an important district game and everyone would like to attend; unfortunately, we will be limited in seating capacity. We appreciate your understanding and consideration in helping us to be safe and to help us to comply with UIL guidelines. (Vouchers are not tickets, they only allow you to buy a ticket into the game.) GO YEGUAS!

1-6-21: Somerville 37 vs Bellville 51 Somerville 3-8, 0-0 Next game Tuesday 1-12-21 Snook at Somerville This was our last game before district. Non-district has been very tough on us. We've dealt with multiple injuries, players missing multiple practices and games, and having two weeks off from practice and games due to Covid issues. Our non-district schedule was very difficult. We understand that the tough schedule will help us in district play but losing takes a toll on any team. We know the real season begins next Tuesday and that everyone is 0-0. Our district will be very competitive. We lost by 14 to an athletic Bellville team. We shot more FTs than them but they made more. We only shot 38% from the FT line. We also shot very poorly from the field. We know we have some good shooters and as long as we keep working for good shots eventually shots will start to fall. Sophomore Guard Brandyn Carter & Junior Guard Verkobe Woodberry continue to play well for us. Coach Billy Ramey

Way to Go Lady Yeguas, they were victorious over IOLA! 1st District Game with a BIG WIN! Keep it up, ladies!!!
