Senior post Lani Pitts studies the court, while junior wing Katy Gotthardt gets ready for offense. The Lady Badgers routed Jourdanton in their first game last week, with Pitts scoring 14 and Gotthardt chipping in another 10. Morgan Kelley was high-point girl for the night.

The Lady Badgers opened their basketball season with two decisive victories – one over the team that beat them last year in bi-district.
The girls defeated Marion Saturday morning 65-52 with sophomore post Morgan Kelley at high-point with 26.
“I think it’s setting a good tone that we have won these first two games,” Kelley said. “I feel pretty good, and I think it’ll be a good season.”
The girls led throughout the game, and the defense held all but one of the Lady Bulldogs to single digits. Going into Saturday’s game, the girls remembered Marion with an uneasy feeling because they fell to them in bi-district last year.
“The returners are working hard and showing enthusiasm, determination and hard work ethic,” Coach Burke Braun said. “It makes my job easier. We set goals early with high expectations.”
The Junior Varsity Lady Badgers also won their game, blowing away Marion 67-12.
