BEAUMONT, Texas — We are reaching the playoff push in high school basketball, with district races extremely tight.
In 21-5A, Nederland was unable to slow down state ranked Crosby in the Dog Dome. The loss moved the Cougars into sole possession of second place, while Nederland slips to third.
The wild and wacky race in 22-3A got even messier when Kountze was able to defense their home court against visiting Woodville.
Meanwhile in girls action, Woodville kept their stranglehold over 22-3A. The Lady Eagles shook of a slow start to blow past the Kountze Lionettes.
