Wagner sisters coming up big for Lady 'Cats Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — One is an experience senior and the other is a talented, starting freshman. Together the Wagner sisters in Orangefield have joined the rest of the Lady Bobcats a very special season. Olivia Wagner had already established herself as a star in Orangefield while Ashton has proven to be ready for the same spotlight. The sisters were first teammates during volleyball season and now are in Class 3A Region III Area Round playoffs. “It is pretty awesome to be in the playoffs as a freshman with your sister,†Ashton said on Thursday. “We have to go hard or we are going home.†Olivia quickly said the Lady Bobcats are not going home this weekend. “It is first regional tournament or bust,†Olivia said. “I want us to go as far as Orangefield as ever gone. The seniors have been telling the younger players it is time to step up. It is now do or die. The officials are not going to call as many fouls so the games are going to be a little rough. Every team is going to want it as much as we do.†Playing on the same team as her sister was also something Olivia wanted to do a lot at the beginning of the school year. “I really didn’t know what to expect,†Olivia said. “At first I was not sure she would get the chance to be on varsity. I am happy for her and glad she got the opportunity. Now she has stepped up and I am proud of her. She sure doesn’t play like a freshman.†Some sisters would have a problem being on the same team as their sister, especially with one being a senior and the other being a freshman. “I just look at her as another player when we are on the court,†Ashton said. “She is always there to encourage me and she is a big leader on our team on the court. I have never received special treatment.†Ashton added Olivia also usually takes it easy on her after a mistake. “Well it depends on her mood,†Ashton joked. “I know I can yell at her because I know she can handle it,†Olivia said. “We rely on her heavily. We are starting to count on her to do a little of everything. Once you are on varsity, you are expected to not play like a freshman. On the court I don’t think of Ashton as a freshman and I don’t even think of her as a sister. Now when someone hits her hard, I do get a little mad. I just know I can’t be soft on her.†Ashton also knows the Lady Bobcats rely heavily on Olivia in the critical points of games.“We rely on her a lot,†Ashton said. “She is always there to bring us up and she is always there. We look to her to be one of our leaders and one of our captains. She is a great teammate and we wouldn’t be in the position we are in now without her.†The sisters position can be even better after tonight when the Lady Bobcats take on Navasota. And like both sisters agreed on, the Lady Bobcats are not ready to call it a season just yet.

OF looks to this year's Navasota game, not last year Gabriel Pruett The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — Orangefield Coach Chris Jost had a simple message to his team early this week — forget last year. “This is a new year and new teams,†Jost. The fact remains the Lady Bobcats will get another crack at the Navasota Lady Rattlers tonight at 7p.m. at Kingwood Park High School in the Class 3A Region III Area Round. Orangefield (24-5) was defeated by Navasota (29-7) in last year’s playoffs. Just an editor’s note, this season there will be neutral officials. “We are going to play for this year,†Jost said. “Of course we are glad for the chance to play Navasota again but we want to be this year’s area champion. We have to keep that in perspective.†Navasota still brings a lot of the same problems this year as they did last year in Jost’s mind. “They are very similar to last year in that they are very athletic and very tall,†Jost added. “They are all 5’7 to 6-foot tall. Just like last year they are going to look to attack and get the ball inside. They will want to make us hit shots in front of them and every chance they get they are going to want to fast break off a rebound.†One good thing for the Lady Bobcats is the recent battles between Hardin-Jefferson. “Our two closest games for a while was the two losses to Koutnze,†Jost said. “We were glad to play such a talented team like Hardin-Jefferson. We had to be ready to play and we had to make adjustments. The Lady Hawks are as good as any warm-up team we could have scheduled. That third game was a very mentally straining game. It came down to who would find a way to win and that is going to be in the playoffs. Hardin-Jefferson made us mentally prepared for the playoffs.†Jost is also glad to see the Lady Bobcats starting to peak at the right time. “Our players are starting to step up at the same time,†the second-year Orangefield coach said. “Aimee (Scales) and Ashton (Wagner) have been more consistent and now we have three to four players off the bench who are also getting it done. In the second half of district it has been a nine-girl effort. Last year we played with seven but we were talented enough to get away with it. This year we made some adjustments and it has gone great.†Jost has become proud of what these Lady Bobcats have done in 2008-09. “I am excited about what this team has accomplished,†Jost said. “Expectations are always high in Orangefield. When you have three starting seniors coming back, the bar is raised even higher. At times this year we were struggling to meet our own expectations. We have been real consistent over the last three weeks. This team is starting to hit its stride and it was worth the wait. The lose to H-J in the first half of district was an eye-opener. We got spanked pretty good on our home court and that has not happened in a while around here.†Now the Lady Bobcats are ready to make sure last year was the only time in the recent past the Class 3A Regional Tournament did not include Orangefield.

I don't think they will release any new polls until the 2nd week of the regular season. Don't think they will change anything based on scrimmage results

Barbers Hill downs Lady Bears in bidistrict Gabe Pruett The Orange Leader PORT NECHES — Speed kills and the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears found out the hard way Tuesday night at Port Neches-Groves High School. The Barbers Hill Lady Eagles used their quickness all night long in a 61-42 win over LC-M in the Class 4A Region III Bi-district playoffs. LC-M finishes its season 15-16 after making the playoffs for the first time since 2001 and for the first time since Amanda Ellerbee took over the team. Barbers Hill (26-9) moves on to face the winner between Manor and Magnolia later this week in the area round. The Lady Eagles used a balanced attack to build a 33-8 lead at the half. Barbers Hill was off the races even in the first period. After LC-M senior Amber Soileau scored the game's first two points, Barbers Hill responded with a 15-0 run. Barbers Hill, who was led by 12 points from Morgon Anderson, led 19-5 after the first frame. Jasmine Carter had six points in the game's first eight minutes and she finished the game with eight. The Lady Eagles then used defense in the second period again to make sure they would lead by a comfortable margin at half-time. LC-M could only muster up three points in the second period while Barbers Hill scored 14. The Lady Eagles ended the second period on a 10-0 run. Jillian Coon, who finished with six points, had four in the period. After what must have been a very motivational speech by Ellerbee during the break, LC-M started to make things a little more interesting in the third. The Lady Bears, who were led by Ellen Williams' 12 points, outscored the Lady Eagles 16-14 in the third period. Katie Harrell scored all 11 of her 11 points in the third while Anderson scored six for Barbers Hill. LC-M was able to cut the score to 45-27 near the end of the third after which included a 9-0 run by the Lady Bears. Barbers Hill led 47-29 heading into the game's final eight minutes. Another 9-0 run in the fourth got LC-M to within 53-40. Barbers Hill buckets from Shannon Evans, who had nine points, and Anderson all but sealed the victory. Britney Gibbs led the Lady Eagles with eight rebounds while Shelby Apperson matched the total for the Lady Bears. Apperson finished with six points. Harrell and Hailey Christian each had six rebounds for LC-M. Jenna Silva added eight points for Barbers Hill while Kendall Shaw finished with six points.

Bobcats down WO-S to force third-place playoff Van Wade The Orange Leader WEST ORANGE — It was do-or-die time for the Orangefield Bobcats Tuesday night at Mustang Gym. Needing a win to force a third-place tie with West Orange-Stark, the Bobcats went into the Mustangs’ house and came away with a nail-biting 35-33 District 21-3A victory. That will set up another battle between the two Orange County schools to settle the final playoff spot out of 21-3A. The two will lock horns again Friday night at 7 p.m. at Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School. Both teams played stifling defense all night but the jitters got the best of them in the fourth quarter. The Bobcats (19-14, 5-5) missed the front end of three conseuctive one-in-ones from the free-throw line in the last 0:53. However, the Mustangs (21-11, 5-5) just got one shot off during that stretch as they committed three of their 16 turnovers in the last minute, enabling the Bobcats to hold on. After Bryden Smith buried a three-pointer to give the Bobcats a 29-24 leading going into the fourth period, Orangefield was able to connect on just one field goal in the last eight minutes but it was good enough to fend off the cold-shooting Mustangs. Mustang senior Marquest Watson pulled the Mustangs even at 33-33 with a three-pointer with 4:20 remaining. But after that, only two points were scored the rest of the way as Orangefield got a free throw apiece out of Tyler Angelle and Derrick Evans. Guard Garrett Granger led the Bobcats with 10 points while Evans had nine. Zach Hayes contributed six points and five rebounds while Angelle also had five boards. Justyin Francis came off the bench to lead the Mustangs with 10 points and a game-high six rebounds. Donte Green had eight points and five boards for WO-S while leading scorer Watson was held to six points. The Mustangs finished with a 27-22 rebounding edge. Orangefield committed one more turnover than the Mustangs as they had 17. The Bobcats went just 8-of-15 from the free-throw line while the Mustangs were 4-of-6. The Bobcats jumped out to a 13-8 lead at the end of the first quarter with Evans and Hayes combining for nine points. Both squads scored eight points apiece in both the second and third periods.
