Ball is Life: Haltom Lady Buffalos working through 2021-22 season
After being one of the top teams in their district during a weird season due to the pandemic a couple of seasons ago, the Haltom Lady Buffalos posted a season that wasn't quite desirable last year. This season, Haltom is back on track and ready to continue back on the road to their usual level of play. VYPE DFW dives into their season so far and what fans can expect the rest of this season:
Last season, Haltom had a tough schedule in which they posted a 5-12 overall record (3-9 in district play). Despite not being able to make a playoff appearance, the team was still able to post great victories over Arlington Lamar, Fort Worth Chisholm Trail, For Worth Paschal, and more.
This season, fans have been seeing more of the usual strength out of the Lady Buffalos. Haltom has already posted a 16-5 record with a 76% winning percentage. So far in district play, the Lady Buffalos have gone 2-1 and sit in the second place spot in their district just behind L.D. Bell. Led by junior Markencia Brisby and senior Madeline Fisher, the team has had a strong offense that has been able to post big-time victories over the likes of V.R. Eaton, school district rivals Richland and Birdville, Fort Worth Brewer, Irving Ranchview, North Crowley, and more.
The team will continue their district schedule on Friday evening where they face L.D. Bell in a big matchup. Haltom looks to use all of their energy and fast-paced effort to shut down the top-seated team in their district. Fans can expect nothing less than the best on the court from the Haltom Lady Buffalos for the rest of the season.
Haltom Hoops: consistency is key for the Buffalos
Haltom has consistently been a team that knows how to get the job done on the court. The Buffalos have a great track record when it comes to posting successful seasons and there is absolutely no reason anyone should doubt them this season. VYPE DFW takes a deeper dive into their season so far and what fans can expect from them for the rest of their regular schedule and on into playoffs:
Last season, the Buffalos finished second in their district with an 11-3 district record (17-11 overall). The team was able to post a 61% winning percentage as they recorded victories over the likes of Fort Worth Christian, Saginaw, Fort Worth Timber Creek, Keller Central, Weatherford, L.D. Bell and more. With 1,769 points scored against their opponents, it's easy to say that the team had a season to be proud of.
This season, the Buffalos are back and ready to take down each of their opponents that stand between them and the playoffs. Haltom has already posted an 11-7 overall record with 1,161 points scored against their opponents so far this season. The Buffalos have posted great victories over the likes of Fossil Ridge, Fort Worth Southwest, Aledo, Molina, and more. Led by senior Marion Carrington who has averaged scoring about 20 points per game, the Buffalos offense is incredibly fast paced while the defense has a squad full of athletes who are always alert enough to grab steals in a game. Kuoal Atak, Baron Smith Jr, and Jeremy Snow have also all had successful seasons thus far with the Buffalos.
Haltom's next game is against L.D. Bell on Friday where the Buffalos will continue to set the tone for the rest of their season. The team can be expected to play tough and make a strong campaign for the playoffs.The Buffalo's squad is one to keep your eyes on this season!
