The Breckenridge Lady Buckaroos are off to one of the best starts in program history, and they are not the only ones to take notice of this, as they were voted as Number 1 in the 3A Division. 

The Texas Girls Coaches Association put out their weekly State Girls Basketball Poll for each division on Nov. 25. The Lady Bucks were placed in the Number 1 spot after becoming 5-0 in non-district play. Though the TGCA has Breckenridge at #1, the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches does not have them in the Top-25 in 3A.

The Breckenridge Buckaroos began their 2019-2020 season with a win at home against the Ballinger Bearcats, 74-67 in overtime.

In a game that featured nine lead changes and 11 ties, the Buckaroos battled to win on Tuesday, Nov. 19. 

Tristian Garcia got the Bucks going with a three-pointer, then Gerardo Palacios put in a nice lay-up to give the Bucks a 5-3 lead. After some good rebounding work by Owen Woodward, Kyle Canada hit a three-point shot that extended the Breckenridge lead to 8-3.
