Lady Rams basketball is 13-10 as they continue non-district play. The Lady Rams are scheduled to host Grandview on Tuesday. Mineral Wells went 1-2 at the Clifton Tournament before the New Year’s holiday, with their lone win coming against the host school. The team also dropped a tough game at Lampasas, 45-31, last Friday. District 6-4A play begins Friday at Brownwood.
Soccer seasons are also starting. The Lady Rams are on the road Tuesday at Fort Worth Poly, while the boys kicked off the season over the weekend in the Castleberry Tournament. The boys’ home opener is Tuesday against Brownwood.
