Lady Wildcats take tournament wins, lose district match

A split tournament weekend showed that the Lady Wildcats have some fight left in them, but a loss to Pflugerville Connally Jan. 3 has kept them winless in district play.

The Elgin girls varsity basketball team went 2-2 in the Mumford Tournament late last month before falling to the Cougars 55-41 last Friday. The team sits at 6-21 overall, 0-5 in district.

Two close losses set the stage for what would be a hard-fought tournament. Elgin came up short 33-30 to St. Joseph Catholic High School and suffered a narrow 42-41 defeat to Granger after rallying from a 28-14 halftime deficit.
