The Westlake Chaparrals girls basketball team, led by head coach Vickie Benson, has extended its undefeated streak to 32–0 overall and 9–0 in District 26‑6A. With just three regular‑season games remaining, the final stretch features familiar opponents — the same trio Westlake beat decisively earlier in district play, averaging a 37‑point margin of victory. While nothing is set in stone, the stats point to a team confidently steering its own destiny as the postseason nears.

Action photos from the night capture the intensity of Westlake Chaparrals road win against the Bowie Bulldogs came with all the grit and defensive bite expected from a team chasing the top of the district table. The Chaparrals edged out Bowie for a 50–47 victory on Friday night at Bowie High School in Austin, TX, improving to 7–1 in District 26‑6A and staying one game behind undefeated Lake Travis Cavalier 8-0 heading into their high‑stakes Feb. 3 rivalry clash. Westlake has now held Bowie to its two lowest scoring outputs of the season — 47 in Friday’s matchup and 46 in their Jan. 6 meeting for the 57–46 Chaparral win.

While out on my afternoon walks, I had been spying a neighbor’s mailbox crowned with a coiled snake skeleton, its bony grin aimed at a nearby witch frozen mid-cackle. I couldn’t resist—I returned with my camera to capture this eerie moment, and recreated the scene into a spine-tingling Halloween sight. Shadows, spells, and skeletal charm… all part of the neighborhood magic.

It was my first time photographing the Crockett Cougars volleyball team—and capturing their action on home turf made it all the more memorable. The Cougars battled hard but ultimately fell in straight sets to the undefeated Anderson Trojans at the District 24-5A matchup on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at Crockett High School in Austin, TX. Great images of team players.
