Joaquin - Basketball - Girls

Thursday, June 21, 2012

It's late at night and I'm sitting here at my computer in my office like I have so many times over the past three years. I'm burning the 'midnight oil' once again. It's the end of an era of sorts, but one which I look back on and smile when I think of all the great memories and friendships I've built.

JOAQUIN, Tx -- The Joaquin Lady Rams have turned their basketball program around this year, winning more games than they have in the past two seasons combined.

Heading into Friday night's contest with Harleton here at Ram Gymnasium, they still had a chance to clinch a share of third place and move into position for their first playoff berth in over 20 years. Unfortunately, it seemed the Lady Rams couldn't buy a basket in the fourth quarter as they dropped the key contest, 55-42.

There may be two games remaining in the regular season, but the Joaquin Lady Rams are already in playoff mode. After winning two of their last three games, tonight's (Friday) game against Harleton in Ram Gymnasium could clinch at least a tie for third in the District 20-2A standings with a JHS win.

The Joaquin Lady Rams dropped their second consecutive District 20-2A contest of the season Friday night, falling to Elysian Fields, 55-38, in Ram Gymnasium.

Still in the postseason chase, Joaquin (13-13) didn't help its positioning with the loss as the Lady Rams dropped back to 2-3 against league competition.

The Joaquin Lady Rams continue to play .500 basketball against District 20-2A competition, splitting their last two games against league foes. The Lady Rams knocked off Jefferson at home last Friday, 37-27, with a tremendous defensive effort, before falling to Harleton on the road on Tuesday, 43-36.

Joaquin is now 13-12 on the year, but still very much in the league's playoff chase with a 2-2 record heading into Friday night's play. Joaquin hosts Elysian Fields at 6:15 p.m.

TATUM, Tx -- The Joaquin Lady Rams gained confidence last Friday by taking an 11-point win over Waskom in their District 20-2A opener. That frame of mind carried over for the first period of Tuesday night's league showdown with No.7-ranked Tatum here in Eagle Coliseum.

But as the game wore on the Lady Eagles showed why they are ranked in the Top 10 in Class 2A. The Lady Rams (12-11) ran out of steam as Tatum took a 58-26 victory to drop Joaquin back to 1-1 in district.

The Joaquin Lady Rams received nine points and eight rebounds from Whitney Vaughn Friday night as they went on the road and opened District 20-2A play with a 46-35 victory over Waskom.

The victory was Joaquin's third straight, but more importantly got the team off to a strong start in league action. Joaquin (12-10) will put its 1-0 district mark on the line Tuesday night when they travel to Tatum to battle the 7th-ranked Lady Eagles.

The Joaquin Lady Rams used a balanced scoring attack and a tough defensive performance to blow past the Logansport (La.) Lady Tigers, 43-22, in nondistrict action in Tiger Gymnasium Tuesday night.

The Joaquin Lady Rams begin the 2012 portion of their season just like they wrapped up the end of 2011 on Tuesday night as they shut out the Lady Tigers in the first period and then held Logansport in single-digit scoring the rest of the way in each quarter for a 43-22 victory in Tiger Gymnasium.

The win was the second straight and third in four games for Joaquin, who improved to 11-10 on the year as it prepares to begin District 20-2A action Friday at Waskom (JV,V - 5 p.m.).
