The Lampasas tennis team put a bow on another successful season Monday night at the annual end-of-year banquet. Clayton Shaw and Chesley Breuer were named recipients of the Battlin’ Badger honor, and head coach Kenneth Peiser said goodbye to six of his seniors: James Vasquez, Shaw, Jordan Venegas, Nate Champion, Amore Zapata and Sierra Vincent.
The Lady Badgers had a three-game series lined up with the Salado Lady Eagles in the bi-district round of the playoffs. The games were moved around because of bad weather on Friday. The girls ended up playing a double-header in Salado on Saturday.
Head basketball coach Aaron Nuckles has announced that Lampasas will play host to a fourteam, three-week spring basketball league. Action started last night.

Lampasas football player Ethan Moreno will head to the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, and former Badger quarterback David Flores will go to Lyon College in Arkansas.
The Lampasas Middle School tennis team traveled to Llano last week, and several players came home with medals. Monte Gauna placed third in boys’ singles for seventh grade.
