INFORMATION FOR BASKETBALL GAMES AGAINST SNOOK: Tuesday, January 12, 2021 Due to Covid-19 restrictions we have a limited seating capacity of 125 people on the home side of the Yegua gym. We realize the games against Snook are usually sold out, but in order to comply with the strict attendance policy per UIL, we will adhere to the following procedures in attending the game. The Somerville community attending the basketball games against Snook on Tuesday (1/12/21) will need to pick up a voucher to enter the gym and pay at the gate. Vouchers will be available for pick up at the Somerville ISD Administration office on Friday (1/8/21). Parents of players will be issued vouchers on Thursday 1/7/21. Both Head Basketball Coaches will do a head count on how many vouchers each player needs for immediate family only, and distribute them for players to take home. We realize this is an important district game and everyone would like to attend; unfortunately, we will be limited in seating capacity. We appreciate your understanding and consideration in helping us to be safe and to help us to comply with UIL guidelines. (Vouchers are not tickets, they only allow you to buy a ticket into the game.) GO YEGUAS!

12-4-20 Boys Varsity Basketball: Yeguas 41 Fayetteville 28 Points: Brandyn Carter 11 Arvis Burns 9 Herschel Conway 6 Jesus Espinoza 5 Verkobe Woodberry 4 Gardner Shivers 4 Dominic Tucker 2 Game Notes: Tonight we were able to beat Fayetteville at their place despite multiple team players. Arvis Burns, an all- Brazos county player, only played 3-4 minutes of the 2nd half. So it was a great opportunity for our players to step up in a road varsity game. With Arvis out junior Verkobe Woodberry was the only upperclassman on the court for us. He provided the leadership we needed. Our sophomores (Brandyn Carter, Jesus Espinoza, & last season new-comer of the year Dominic Tucker) all played very well for us. Brandyn led us in scoring and showed flashes of how talented he is. Jesus & Dominic controlled the paint for us. Our two freshmen (Herschel Conway & Gardner Shivers) both played a lot of minutes and really stepped up. Gardner did a little of everything for us and Herschel made two 3s & provided some good defensive pressure. Next game 12-8-20 We host the #1 pre-season 1A team according to Dave Campbell's Texas Basketball magazine Calvert. We look forward to the challenge. It will be a rematch of last season's tough OT battle at the Bremond Tournament championship game. Thank you. Coach Billy Ramey
