Flores, seniors Ruben Castellanos and Cesar Perea each went 3-for-3 in batting. Rio Hondo had seven stolen bases.

The Bobcats last game came in the form of a 5-4 loss. Rio Hondo also played La Villa this week but the score was not available by press time.

The Bobcats begin District 32-3A play by hosting Valley View at home, on March 18.

The Rio Hondo Lady ’Cats, meanwhile were challenged in a big way the past couple of weeks as they played against schools with larger classifications, giving them three consecutive losses.

Their games were against Los Fresnos (7-5 score), Brownsville Hanna (14-4 score), and this week against Brownsville Veterans Memorial (16-1), all of them Class 6A schools.

The Lady ’Cats sport a 2-8 season record with their District 32-3A opener against the Lyford Lady Bulldogs away on March 18.
