SCHULENBURG — The Smithville High School boys varsity basketball team went on the road Tuesday, Dec. 5 and the Tigers got a key 47-38 victory over Schulenburg High School.
After Smithville took a quick 14-10 lead by the end of the first quarter, the Tigers, under Head Coach Chris Young, played tight team defense that helped the lead balloon to 32-19 over the Shorthorns in the third quarter.
Smithville kept Schulenburg at bay the rest of the game, as the Tigers picked up their third victory of the 2023-24 season.
In the nine-point win, the Tigers were led on the night by junior Ramonz Adams with a game-high 24 points, seven steals on defense, five rebounds and two assists.
