The boys basketball team will match up against their fellow maroon rivals, Plano Senior, tonight at 7:30 p.m. With a home court advantage, and a 1-12 in district Wildcats as the opponent, the Farmers should not have a problem securing a win tonight and improving their to 8-7 in district 6-6A.

The only thing standing in the way of a playoff run are our neighbors to the west, the Flower Mound Jaguars. FMHS currently is half a game ahead of the Farmers with a 7-6 district record, and in sole possession of 4th place and the final playoff spot. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, they have to face the top-ranked Plano West Wolves tonight (a game that will most likely only add to the Wolves reign over 6-6A, as Plano West is unbeaten in district play this year).

In a tie for fifth with us, the Marcus Marauders avoid a game tonight, only to face the Farmers this Friday. If we pull through with a win tonight, and Flower Mound takes their expected loss, the Farmers will be in sole possession of fourth place when the Marauders take a trip to Farmer Nation this Friday.

Super Senior Night

The Lady Farmer hoops team finished their final home game right last Friday, with a 62-52 win over McKinney Boyd. It was the last time the senior girls played at Farmer Arena, and though emotions were in the air, the girls pulled together a victory.

Bowling On Through

This last Saturday our bowling team was impeccable as we won 15-0 against Marcus. It was an amazing team effort, and the team even managed to bowl nine strikes in a row. With one week left in season we are now only two points out of first place. Individually, bowler Conner Mixson led the way with a 234 and a 233. With a guaranteed trip to the team regional qualifier, we must wait to see who will qualify individually in regionals.
