In what's become a running theme this season, West Texas gave their fans yet another huge victory on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 55-31 margin over Sunray. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest win West Texas has posted since December 5, 2023.
Meanwhile, Booker didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Stratford on Tuesday, but they still walked away with a 46-41 win. The win was just what Booker needed coming off of a 67-44 loss in their prior matchup.
Booker relied on the efforts of Hagen Chisum, who scored 22 points along with seven rebounds, and Xavier Aguilera, who dropped a double-double on 19 points and 12 rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Aguilera has scored all season.
