Arvis Burns 6
Verkobe Woodberry 6

Gardner Shivers 2
Notes:
Mumford is a good team and they controlled the tempo of the game. Their defense was very strong and forced us to shoot a horrible percentage from the field. Although we are disappointed in our loss we are still proud to be sitting at 2-1 in the district standings. There are two more games in the first round of district.
Next game Friday at Iola 7 PM.
Huge game for us.

Game notes:
up 16-4 at the end of the 1st quarter and never looked back. All-Brazos country guard Junior Arvis Burns shows again what makes him such a special guard. He scored 20 points to lead all scorers and he provided us with the leadership that we needed. Junior guard Verkobe Woodberry scored 15 points while handing out a number of assists and like always playing defense vs the other team's best perimeter player. Having Junior Guard Johnny Legg back has taken our team to another level. Johnny is so valuable to our team because he provides us with so much. Perfect glue guy. He holds our team together. Sophomore guard and team's leading scorer, Brandyn Carter, scored 12 points while making 3 thee point FGs. Brandyn has been our most consistent scorer all season. He is so talented and he isn't even close to the player that he will become. It was great seeing our freshmen Gardner Shivers & Herschel Conway step-up.
Somerville 2-0 in district
Next game Tuesday 1-19-21 Mumford @ Somerville 7:30 PM.
We are very proud to be 2-0 going into week 2 of district. We look forward to the challenge of playing Mumford & Iola this coming week.
Thank you.

Good afternoon fellow Yeguas. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. It is a privilege to drive a vehicle to school instead of riding the bus. There is adequate parking behind the administration building that would hold everyone if people would park correctly. Unfortunately, some students have parked and blocked the alley that caused garbage truck access issues. The large truck couldn't make it through the alleyway to complete their trash pickups. So now you either park behind the administration building or on the old tennis courts from this point on. Drivers, please be considerate of your classmates and park appropriately.
Thank You for your Cooperation.

Notes:
It is always a good night when we beat our rivals, Snook. This is the back to back wins vs Snook. I am so proud of our young men. We stayed focused and played together. It has been awesome having our entire team at all of our practices leading up to the game and at the game. This entire season we have dealt with multiple injuries and illnesses. We never trailed in the game. Snook is a talented team and of course they made a run and made the game very close and competitive. Brandyn Carter led us in scoring like he always does. Brandyn's driving basket in the 4th was huge. He is only scratching the surface on how good of a player he will be. Our juniors, all three are 3-year starters, Arvis Burns, Verkobe Woodberry, and Johnny Legg all played well for us. It was only the 4th time this season the three have played together this season. Johnny has been dealing with an injury and having to miss some time with the team. This was the best game of the season for all Brazos county player, Arvis Burns. He provided the type of play we are accustomed to. He played a great floor game and his defense was impressive in the 1st half. Arvis has been dealing with an injury and illness throughout the season. DominicTucker stepped up with 10 points and played valuable minutes for us inside. Verkobe Woodberry always makes winning plays.
Next game Friday at Burton. (No Fans allowed)

1-6-21: Somerville 37 vs Bellville 51
Somerville 3-8, 0-0
Next game Tuesday 1-12-21 Snook at Somerville
This was our last game before district. Non-district has been very tough on us. We've dealt with multiple injuries, players missing multiple practices and games, and having two weeks off from practice and games due to Covid issues. Our non-district schedule was very difficult. We understand that the tough schedule will help us in district play but losing takes a toll on any team. We know the real season begins next Tuesday and that everyone is 0-0. Our district will be very competitive.
We lost by 14 to an athletic Bellville team. We shot more FTs than them but they made more. We only shot 38% from the FT line. We also shot very poorly from the field. We know we have some good shooters and as long as we keep working for good shots eventually shots will start to fall. Sophomore Guard Brandyn Carter & Junior Guard Verkobe Woodberry continue to play well for us.
