Boys+basketball+season+comes+to+a+close

The Leopards ended their playoff run and 24-11 season in the quarter-final round with a loss to the 4th ranked team in Texas, the Arlington Seguin Cougars.

The Leopards fell behind early, trailing 16-8 after the first quarter.  Things didn’t get much better in the second quarter as they found themselves losing 26-19 at halftime.
The second half proved to be just as much of challenge as the Leopards had 11 turnovers against the Cougars pressure defense.  With the team unable to consistently run its offense, the Leopards were hard pressed to score as the team scored just eight points in each of the last two quarters.
Senior Trevor Eckard led the Leopards with 16 points.

Jessica Parrott, Sports Editor
Jessica Parrott is a senior, meaning she not only runs the sports section of The Red Ledger, but also the school. With her best friend and fellow staff member Julia Carder by her side, Jessica is going to make this year the best yet. Her favorite sport to cover is football, not only does she love the game but she also loves the boys. Nah, just kidding… slightly. As a senior, Jessica knows that she can literally do anything she wants. Anything. Her favorite saying is “Lord love a duck,” a frequent exclamation made when people do appalling things. She is hoping to attend either Texas Tech or Texas A&M but is also considering Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Arkansas. Ya never know though. She is obsessed with both Friday Night Lights and Gossip Girl, two drastically different shows. The way to her heart is a large Diet Coke from McDonald’s and cabana bowl from Taco Cabana. She is from Boerne, Texas, a suburb outside of San Antonio and she believes to this day that it is the closest to heaven on earth you can get, it’s the Hill Country, it doesn’t get much better. She loves riding boots, flowy tops, and her Texas James Avery ring. Thanks and Gig ‘em, Wreck ‘em, Sic ‘em, Go Pokes, Woo Pig! She’ll let ya know when she decides on a school ;)
