LEVELLAND — Denver City girls basketball coach Kody Brown learned from experience earlier this year that he just couldn’t let Slaton get out to a big lead early. So in trying to stop the Tigerettes’ early momentum and deal with their press, the Fillies’ head coach called two timeouts in the first five minutes of Tuesday’s Class 2A bi-district game at the Levelland Gym. But to no avail.

Frenship, Monterey face tough road to open postseason run 02/12/13 - 1:39am

Normally, if the Frenship girls basketball team is facing perennial powerhouse Canyon in the first round of the postseason, it means the Tigers likely struggled the majority of the season and just squeezed into the playoffs. Not this time. Frenship (16-11) put together another solid year and finished second in District 4-4A. But Canyon struggled — at least for a Canyon team it could be considered a struggle — with six losses. That dropped the Lady Eagles to the third seed out of District 3-4A behind Palo Duro and Amarillo.
