After missing their last three games, the Farmersville boys basketball team were shorthanded for their district opener, losing to Caddo Mills 68-57 Tuesday, Dec. 22.

Thoughts from Coach Jeff Green

“I saw a lot of fight from the team,” Green said. “We were shorthanded, but I believed the team played with alot of motivation tonight. That was probably the best complete game we played all year, both on the offensive and defensive ends. Caddo is a good team, so for us to be within striking distance in the fourth quarter, I felt pretty good about it.
