Lady Apaches end basketball season with bi-district loss to Devine

The Gonzales Lady Apaches’ basketball season came to an end Tuesday, Feb. 11, following a 71-32 bi-district loss to the Devine Arabians at Southwest Legacy High School in Von Army.

The Lady Apaches finished the 2024-25 season with a 14-18 overall record after going 4-4 in district play and finishing in third place in District 28-4A. It was the second straight year Gonzales made the playoffs as they also finished third in 2023-24 with a 7-5 district record and a 12-20 overall mark.

Going into the game, Gonzales knew stopping Devine, the co-district champion of District 27-4A, would be a tall order. The Arabians came into the game with a 24-10 overall record and a 11-1 district mark.

The Lady Apaches now will be bidding farewell to a senior class that made the playoffs in consecutive seasons and restored a tradition of postseason play on the hardwood court. Seniors include Bella Aguero, Kilee Schwausch, Skcarlet Cerda and Kaylie Ramirez.
