SUBVARSITY BASKETBALL

The Badgers' subvarsity basketball teams both squeaked out two-point wins Tuesday against Brownwood.

After building a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, Lampasas' freshman squad almost let the game slip away as the Lions roared back to go ahead by a point, 23-22, in the contest's final minutes.

Luckily, Tanner Swinford found Dalton Moore on a pick and roll, and Moore converted the basket while being fouled. Moore connected on his free throw, scoring all three of the Badgers' fourth-quarter points and clinching the victory for the home team.

Swinford scored eight points in the game while Moore finished with a team-high 10.

The victory improves the Badgers' record to 4-11 overall.

Lampasas' junior varsity team overcame 29 turnovers to defeat Brownwood 43-41.

In the game's final minutes, with the outcome still in doubt, J.T. Edwards crashed the offensive glass to help keep the Badgers' hope alive.

After pulling down an offensive rebound, Edwards was fouled, sending him to the line where he connected on a free throw to tie the game at 41-41.

Shortly after, Edwards put back another offensive rebound for the game's final score.

Brandon Scott finished the game with a team-high 18 points while Edwards tallied 14 as the Badgers (6-10) climbed out of a five-point halftime hole.
