Hooping into the winter sports season,
the boys and girls basketball teams
competed in their Homecoming game on
Friday, Dec. 1.
This game occurred against the
Sulphur Bulldogs and resulted in a win
of 51-33 for the Lady Outlaws and a win
of 50-27 for the Outlaws.
The girls kept a consistent lead
throughout the game and plan to
continue their success during the rest of
the season.
Senior Kently Davis plays as a power
forward and post for the team and played
a strong game on Friday.
“Being on the team has taught me you
are only as strong as your weakest link,
and you need everyone to be brought in
to succeed,” Davis said. “The team and
I have shown this by not giving up and
learning how to play together.”
After the girls’ victory the boys moved

onto the court, having a close but ulti-
mately victorious game.

Junior Parker Boyles, a post and
wing for the boys team, believes that
the team’s ability to work together led to
their success.
“We started off a little rough last night,
but we all came together and pulled it
out,” Boyles said. “I am so grateful for
my teammates because I could not do it
without them.”
Alongside competition during the
match, the boys game had a Homecoming
ceremony.
The Homecoming royalty was brought
to court alongside crowning captain
Zach Petit and his escort Skylar Ramsey.
The royalty consisted of senior Kently
Davis, escorted by junior Blayd Harris;
senior Kenlee Wilson, escorted by senior

Kagun Mahaffey; senior Demi Hunt, es-
corted by senior King Harrison; senior

Emma Samples, escorted by senior Ma-
son Holding and senior Allye Haile, es-
corted by junior Kadyn Harris.

After arriving on court, four year
Lady Outlaw basketball player Hunt was
crowned queen.
“I was really excited during the
crowning,” Hunt said. “It was a really
good feeling and just an overall great
memory to have.”
Another halftime show happened
during the girls game, this event
consisting of a performance by
elementary students.
These students work with the high
school cheerleaders for a week in order
to learn their performance.
Sophomore Hayden Pereria worked
with the girls during the clinic and found
it to be a meaningful experience.

“Little elementary schoolers need old-
er girls to look up to and have good role

models in general,” Pereria said. “They
just love having older girls to look up to
and be loving to.”
With their season officially started,
the Outlaw and Lady Outlaw teams will
continue into a season of further success.
