BASKETBALL Lady Bucks Jan. 20: Compass vs Alpine, JV @ 5 p.m., Varsity @ 6:30 p.m.

Both the Lady Buck basketball teams traveled to Kermit last Tuesday to finish off the first half of district play. The JV Lady Bucks played hard but struggled scoring points in the first half.

It was a solid team win for the Sul Ross State men’s basketball squad. On Saturday evening, the Lobos ended their three-game losing streak by defeating the Howard Payne Yellow Jackets, 96-76, at the Brownwood Coliseum.
