High School Basketball Week 2 District Play

The Lady Rangers took care of the San Elizario Eagles last Tuesday night to open up District 2-4a play. Our girls played tough and never let the Eagles get into a rhythm on offense. Our Jv and Freshmen teams lost both of their games but continued to show improvement. San Elizario has a nice JV team that should help them on the Varsity level next year.

The Del Valle girls team also opened up the season with a win over the Ysleta Indians. Tonight the schedule includes only one District game that pits Parkland vs Canutillo.
