LA GRANGE — The La Grange High School boy’s basketball team defeated Schulenburg High School Nov. 20 at Leopards Gym by a final score of 60-39. La Grange surged out to a big lead in the first half and the Shorthorns cut into the lead in the second half, but it wasn’t enough as the Leopards continued to produce on the offensive end.
“I spent the last two years working with Coach Hoog, so we're good friends," said first- year La Grange head boy’s basketball coach Trent Collier on playing against his former colleague and Schulenburg head boy’s basketball coach Rich Hoogendoorn.
“He’s a legend. 850 wins or something like that, so I’m not gonna sit here and say that we out coached a legend or anything like that. That’s not what happened. We just got some more pieces than he had. He’s got a program that’s way more established than ours. We’re just trying to kind of figure out how to play. There's a whole lot going on and we’re seeing growth. We’re still a long ways from where we want to be.”
