    Macy Herring made history in the Hallettsville Lady Brahmas’ 43- 34 District 25-AAA win over Vanderbilt Industrial here Tuesday, Jan. 9.

    Herring, a senior post, garnered her 1,000th career rebound to go along with 19 points in the victory.

    We are proud of how far Macy’s come,” assistant coach Christina Halata said. “1000 rebounds is pretty impressive considering she did not play varsity her freshman year and got limited minutes her sophomore year. Macy is a selfless leader who spends extra time in the gym working on improving her skills for her team! She is a huge part of our success and I look forward to seeing how far she takes us this year!!”

    The LB shot 53.8% from the field in the first quarter in taking a 14-11 lead at period’s end.

    Herring led a 14-6 second stanza with 8 points to help increase the lead to 28-17 at the half.

    Hallettsville (24-5, 5-1) went cold in the third quarter, making just 3 of 15 shots and the Cobras trimmed the lead to 35-27 going into the final eight minutes.

    The LB held on in the fourth period with Herring scoring 4 points and Adalyn Pohl a deuce for the final margin of victory.

    The LB ended up shooting just 30.2% and made only 4 of 13 free throws. However, 22 Cobra turnovers offset their shooting.
