When the varsity Lady Dawg basketball team began play last week, they had a 2-4 overall record after facing some pretty talented teams to open the season. The girls quickly flipped the script with six-straight wins between Monday and Saturday, including a home victory over Hutto followed by a tournament sweep at Little River Academy.

Over the Thanksgiving break Burnet’s basketball teams took to the court for some early week action. The Lady Dawgs played in two games as they traveled to Goldthwaite on Monday and hosted Fredericksburg on Tuesday.

The 2023 volleyball district matches came to an end last week with Burnet’s games at Jarrell. There is plenty to brag about in this program.

The Burnet Bulldogs traveled to Davenport last Friday to take on the Wolves, who had been unstoppable through district play. Most outside of the Bulldog family didn’t give Burnet a snowball’s chance, but the men in green shredded that memo.

Early last week the fall golf rounds came to an end with the Dawgs competing at the Llano Invitational hosted by Legends Golf Course in Kingsland.
