12/14/2008 loses heartbreaker to San Marcos 52-50
Your Lehman Lobos men's varsity basketball team lost a heartbreaker last night here in the Lobo Den.  In the third district contest of the season, the San Marcos Rattlers defeated your Lobos 52-50.  It was a highly contested battle.  Your Lobos deserve tons of credit for clawing themselves back into the contest after being down by as many as 9 in the 3rd quarter.  Unfortunately, San Marcos had an answer for every run that the Lobos went on.  The Lobos now find themselves 1-2 in district and 11-10 for the season.
 
The Lobos next game will be at Del Valle on Friday.  Good Job Lobos!!

12/08/2008 Lehman Varsity Boys take Consolation Championship!!!!

A huge CONGRATULATIONS goes out to your men's varsity basketball team as they won the Consolation Championship at the Matador Classic this weekend.  Your Lobos showed great passion and grit as they competed in three games at the tournament. 

 

Your Lobos opened the tournament with a loss at the hands of Crockett, 65-56.  Crockett pounced on the Lobos early as they opened up a first quarter lead of 18-6.  Despite winning the final three quarters, your Lobos just could not over come the hole they had dug themselves into. 

 

In the second game, your Lobos faced a District rival as they took on Lockhart.  Despite having a hangover from game one, your Lobos found a way to pull off a 64-55 victory over the Lions.  Your Lobos finished the game with an impressive 26 point fourth quarter which sealed the deal.

 

In the Consolation Championship game, your Lobos took on an old District rival in NB Canyon.  Your Lobos have been shut out of the victory column seven consecutive times versus the Cougars.....But, Saturday was a different story.  The game was nip and tuck the entire way until with about three minutes in the fourth quarter when your Lobos demonstrated tremendous heart, desire and determination on the defensive end.  Your Lobos held the Cougars to only two free throws in that stretch.  Your Lobos also sank 15 of 17 free throws in the fourth quarter to stretch their slim 2 point lead into a 8 point victory, 54-46.  It really was GRIT and DESIRE that won the game.

 

Your Lobos are now 5 - 2 on the season going in to their toughest game of the season thus far.  Monday, your Lobos look to knock off perennial power house Lake Travis in their BARN of a gym.  If you happen to be in the area, we would love to hear you howl for your Lobos.

 

The coaching staff is extremely proud of the effort of these fine young student-athletes, as you should be too.  They have embraced their role as leaders of the PACK in this school.  If you can find the time to say something to any of them, I am sure it would be greatly appreciated. 

  

Thanks for your continued support.
