GAME STORY: Glen Rose sweeps Stephenville in district doubleheader

GLEN ROSE — Tiger arena was the site of one of the BCP coverage area’s biggest varsity doubleheaders on Tuesday.  And true to its reputation, the venue was a difficult place for visiting teams to earn a win.

In Game 1, the Glen Rose girls (32-2, 10-0) connected on an eye-popping 16 3-pointers to hand Stephenville a 63-29 loss. On the boys’ side, Glen Rose (23-8, 6-2) rallied from an early deficit to hand the Yellow Jackets a 61-45 defeat to take over second place in District 6-4A. 

Both clubs tightened their defense to gradually create separation and chalk up consecutive wins.

FEATURE: Salinas overcomes obstacles to lead Comanche

It’s been a hard last few months for Comanche’s J’Lee Salinas.

First there was the torn PCL in her knee that kept Salinas from playing the sport she loves all summer.

Then toward the end of volleyball season, the 5-foot-11 junior suffered a high ankle sprain that kept her out for more than a week.

But the icing on the cake was when Salinas’ back began hampering her once basketball season started.  

Comanche basketball coach Diana Salinas, who also doubles as her mom, said it was a bulging disc that kept J’Lee from looking like the all-state player that she is.
