Our Lions received a little bit of revenge last night as they knocked off the Bowie Jackrabbits, 59-44, in a District 7-3A game. Bowie defeated Vernon in the first round of district play. With the win, the Lions are now 7-3 in district and tied for second place with City View. The teams have two more games to go in the regular season. Both have secured a spot in the playoffs. The Lions will host No. 9-ranked Holliday here Friday night.
Our Lady Lions wrapped up their regular season last night with a 39-27 victory over Bowie. Vernon finishes in third place in District 7-3A and will move on to the playoffs. The Lady Lions are scheduled take on Comanche at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, at the Anson High School Gym in the bi-district round of the playoffs. Comanche finished second in District 8-3A. The last time the Lady Lions made the playoffs was the 2021 season.
Before the tip-off of last night's District 7-3A game against Bowie, Adarius Williams was honored for reaching the 1,000-point plateau for his high school basketball career. A varsity starter since he was a freshman, Adarius is just a junior, so he has a lot more games to add to his point total at VHS. Congratulations Adarius!!
