Cross-Country
By Coach Brooke Ashcraft
Over the weekend, the Bandera cross-country teams competed in the Comfort CC Invitational. There were 27 schools at the meet, ranging from private schools to some of our district competitors.
The varsity Lady Bulldogs started the day off with senior Caitlyn Thrasher leading the pack and sophomores Raelynn Butler, Morgan Cole and Hannah Edwards not far behind. All four medaled.
Another sophomore, Elexis Pearson, finished as the fifth runner for Bandera with Jordan Edwards, Kaitlin Doebbler, and Corrine McMullan also running for Bandera.
No team scores were kept at this meet, but Bandera would have fared extremely well if it was scored.
In JV girls, freshman Ashlyn Brown led the way for the Lady Bulldogs, medaling individually. Ofelia Macias, Bietzel Gonzalez, Mia Ramirez, Gracie Wilson, Ashley Grodman, and Tanna Flewellen all improved their times and finished in that order.
In the varsity boys race, placements are as follows: 11, Ethan Brown, 22, Logan Dybowski, 26, Sam Nimmrichter, 41, Kelly Columbia, 49, Bailey Cox, 52, Jesus Rodriguez and 54, Josh Short.
JV boys results were, 4, Jacob Haas, 12, Braden Cox 24, Cody Jureczki, 27, Sage Witzeman and 49, Reese Mazurek.
The Bandera teams will be back in action next week at the Medina Valley Cross Country Invitational.
Tennis

It looks like it will be a good year for tennis even though Bandera fell short to Devine last night by a 10-4 score.
Excellent tennis was played by the Bulldogs with wins by Kyle Morgan, Christian McKnelly, Michael Nevarez, Brandon Chafin, Erik Siebold, Bri Lloyd, Ethan Molnar, and Mayumi Castro.
Volleyball

BMS Lady Bulldog volleyball is off to a great start. These girls have worked hard during their first week of practice.
Seventh grade
The "B" team competed and improved with each game, the girls are coachable and willing to do what is needed to compete. Led by great serving from Jocelyn Klein and Baylee Galloway, the team fell by scores of 25-15 and 25-19.
The "A" team fought hard and played for each other while taking Fredericksburg to three games.
Leading the serving game was Kinlee Lawlis, who was great from behind the line. We are very excited about this season and cant wait to watch these girls grow. The teams split the first two sets by scores of 16-25 and 25-12, but Bandera lost, 8-15 in the final set.
Eighth grade
The girls are working well together, had good chemistry and a positive attitude on the court. We know what we need to work on for our next game and it is nothing that cant be fixed.
Our "B" team competed against a great Fredericksburg team, going 0-2 against the Lady Billies.
The "A" team stepped up to compete, but lost by scores of 19-25 and 17-25.
