What happened: Greenwood came up just short in a 64–62 loss to Lamesa on Thursday, Nov. 20, at home. The Rangers led at every quarter break—24–13, 34–27, and 50–48—but couldn’t hold off a late Lamesa push. The Tornadoes closed strong in the final minutes to hand Greenwood a narrow defeat. The loss moved the Rangers to 1-1 for the season.

Go deeper: Colton Rauman paced the Rangers with 21 points, providing steady scoring throughout the night. Austin Snodgrass added 10 points, and Greenwood finished 15 of 26 at the free-throw line. Strong offensive stretches kept them in control early, but missed free throws proved costly in the closing moments.

Greenwood’s scoring came in waves, putting up 13, 14, 21, and 14 across the four quarters. Lamesa countered with timely baskets and capitalized on late possessions to erase the deficit. Even in the loss, the Rangers showed poise, energy, and clear improvement as they continue preparing for tougher tests ahead.

What’s next: Greenwood travels to Sweetwater on Saturday, Nov. 22, for a 1:30 p.m. matchup, giving the Rangers a quick chance to rebound and regain momentum.
