Katy- Winter again reared its ugly head and creeped in to ruin the first day of the Katy-Morton Ranch tournament leading to a cancellation of the Thursday games.

The cancelled games included the Cy-Springs and (HISD) Westside games. The Bucs had a great showing the next day, beating Sugar Land Austin 4-1. Against Austin, starter Anthony Bell pitched 6 innings of shutout ball, before Kamen Lopez entered the game in relief.

The Friday night game saw another drop in temperature, and unfortunately the Buc bats as well, as the good guys lost to host Katy, 4-0.

On another cold Saturday morning, the Bucs couldn't get some offense generated against the other Katy ISD squad- Morton Ranch, falling 5-1 behind a decent pitching effort by Garrett Reed and Deryk Serbantez.

The second game Saturday saw temperatures rise and the sun come out, as well as the Buc bats heating up in a 9-1 hammering of the Cy-Lakes Spartans. (Cy-Lakes is from District 17-6A, the Cy-Fair district). See the story at the "Buc News" section.

The Bucs made solid progress in spite of injuries, working short-handed, and adjustments with the roster. The Bucs split the tournament respectively, with two wins and two losses.
