It wasn’t exactly the start the Farmers were hoping for last week in District 10-3A competition.

They were defeated on the road by Van Alstyne 87-39 and Howe 58-55 in overtime.

As of Monday, Jan. 8 Farmersville was 7-10 overall and 0-2 in the district standings.

They returned to the court Tuesday, Jan. 9 at Leonard and 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 12 host Commerce.

That’s followed by with Lone Oak (Jan. 16) and on the road against the Tigers of Whitewright (Jan. 19).
