LEARNING TO FLY: Like Mike, wearing number 23, Hector Najera spread his wings for 18 points in leading the junior varsity Bulldogs to a 47-34 district home win over Santo on Tuesday of last week. The JV Red Dogs turned around on Friday and pummeled Hico on the road 31-12, improving to 3-2 in district. Behind Najera’s team-leading 18 points scored versus Santo, Daniel Olalde filleted 10, Colton DeLaGarza seven, and Eduardo Ramirez and Myles Henkes each carved out six points for the Bulldogs in the win. In Hico on Friday, DeLaGarza was on par for 12 points, followed by Ridge Lasater and Henkes with six apiece, Ramirez five and Najera two as the Bulldog defense held the Tigers to just 12 total points. Hamilton’s JV Red Dogs were scheduled to host Zephyr on Tuesday of this week and will return to the hardcourt to round out round one of district play in Hamilton this Friday versus Graford at 5 p.m. in the Larry Eilers Gymnasium. Next Tuesday, the JV Red will tip off round two of District 11-2A competition with a 5 p.m. home game versus DeLeon.
