Rangers Rally Past Sam Rayburn After Tough Road Schedule
The Ross S. Sterling Rangers improved to 7-1 in District 23-5A with a 53-42 home win over the Sam Rayburn Texans. Led by Paul Roberts with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks, Sterling avoided its usual press defense due to a sprained ankle. Rayburn, now 2-6 in league play, never led after the early minutes as Sterling controlled the game with strong first and second quarters and balanced scoring from Forbes Redou Morris Sanders and Jannise.

Sterling Girls Seek Unbeaten District Run
Ross Sterling’s girls basketball eyes a flawless finish with four district games left, facing South Houston and North Shore next week. Robert E. Lee, 7-3, conflicts with third-place Dobie and Sam Rayburn, while Lee pursues REL for a share of second. REL coach Gloria Pruitt stresses readiness and rebound consistency after a hard loss, noting improved free throws and a need to stay disciplined on the boards. Patti Rau’s Ranger squad hauls a 10th straight win, confident of an undefeated district run but wary of North Shore’s road test on Thursday.
