Crestmont Christian Prep boys, girls basketball squads hit the hardwood

On Nov. 5, the Crestmont Christian Prep boys basketball team from Boerne traveled to IDEA Ewing Halsell and they were joined by the Crestmont girls team.

Nearly three years since their last game, the Lady Warriors are full of new faces and excitement to restart the girls basketball program.

The Lady Warriors kept pace with the Pioneers early, ending the first quarter down, 8-4. But the Pioneers proved to be too much for Crestmont, going up 34-14 by the end of the third period and closing out the game, 43-20.

The bright spots for the Warriors included Paige Hubbard, who logged 12 points and sophomore Kristie Keller who secured 5 rebounds.

The loss starts Crestmont’s girls team at 0-1, but Coach Kayla Rogers and the Warriors are excited for the season and are looking forward to seeing tremendous improvement this year.
