Levings hasn't dropped below two steals for three straight games. Kamyra Childs was another key contributor, scoring 11 points along with six rebounds and three steals.

Cole will head out on the road to challenge the Eagles at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Luling will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Texas Rankings (they are ranked 1405th, while the Cougars are ranked 382nd).
