High school coaches and athletes made it through an interesting 2020-21.
Now it’s time to see what 2021-22 has in store for everyone.
NAVASOTA — In an inaugural season already packed with memories, nobody at Lake Belton will forget this late-May weekend in Grimes County.
From extra innings in Game 1 on Thursday night to Friday’s storm-interrupted Game 2 to a Game 3 so intense and so loud that the brand new bleachers around Ira Floyd Field shook under the sizzling sun Saturday afternoon, the Class 4A Region III final between the Lady Broncos and Liberty Lady Panthers had all the ingredients necessary to deem it unforgettable.
