Fayetteville ends Cowboys’ season

 

     Seguin -- Starting fast and raining threes from all over, the Fayetteville Lions raced away from the D’Hanis Cowboys Friday, Feb. 27, winning their Class 1A-Div. 1 area playoff, 80-43, at Seguin High School’s Goldie Harris Gym.

     The Cowboys conclude the year with a 30-5 record, while Fayetteville (28-6) went on to defeat Wells in the regional semifinals, 80-74, Tuesday in Madisonville. They’ll face Brookeland in the regional finals Thursday, March 5.

     The Lions took control in the first period, and wound up hitting a total of 11 three-pointers, courtesy of six different players.

Kase Braden led the Cowboys with 12 points, followed by 11 from Aiden Enriquez. Jackson Cross finished with nine points.

All boys’ playoff entries from District 31-A advanced to the second round of postseason, but two of the other three saw their seasons end on Friday. Like D’Hanis, both were just about doubled up by their area opponents. Knippa lost to Moulton, 79-39 and Comstock lost to Richards, 79-44.

     The only second-round winner was Utopia, a 69-65 winner over Calvert. The Buffaloes went on to drop their regional semifinal matchup to Groveton Centerville, 83-58, on Tuesday evening in Schulenburg.

     NC girls’ fall in state semis

    On the girls’ side from 31-A, Nueces Canyon and Rocksprings met for the Region IV championship on Friday, with NC prevailing, 48-39. In Monday’s state semifinals, however, Canyon lost to Region III champ Saltillo, 54-27.
