Granbury Pirate Basketball District Honors
Five Granbury Pirate basketball players recently received District 5-5A honors following the 2021-22 season.
Leading the Granbury High School contingent were sophomore Isaiah Trejo as Co-Defensive Most Valuable Player and sophomore Kensington Colston as the Newcomer of the Year.
On the first team were junior True Hughes and senior Sawyer Schenewark on the first team. Second-team pick was senior Payton Plash.
Schenewark was also a first-team choice last season.
In addition to Granbury, District 5-5A is composed of Aledo, Azle, Brewer, Wichita Falls, and Wichita Falls Rider.

Granbury High School Pirate Basketball vs Brewer
Pirates open District 5-5A with 40-39 win over Brewer - Hood County News
Sophomore Kingston hit a three-pointer to tie it up, and Sawyer Schenewark's heady play at the free-throw line lifted Granbury to a 40-39 miracle win over FW Brewer Friday at the James Wann Sports Center.
Fueled by Kingston Colston's 12 fourth-quarter points, Granbury (11-12, 1-0) pulled off nothing short of a miracle in coming back from being down by nine points and only scoring five in the third quarter.
Colston hit from downtown to tie the contest at 39-39, and Granbury came up with possession on Brewer's (12-11, 0-1) end of the court to bring the ball back down to the Pirates' goal with 11 seconds remaining.
Schenewark was fouled going for the rebound, he then hit the front end of two shots with one second left, and Coach David Breazeale called a time out to discuss the strategy.
That plan called for making sure Schenewark banged the front of the iron with his second free throw and for someone not wearing a Brewer uniform to come up with the resulting board.
It worked to perfection as Schenewark came up with the rebound himself and covered up the ball as the buzzer ended the Bears' hopes.
Few people watching would have picked the Pirates to pull it off after Brewer emerged from the locker room to turn a 21-20 game into a potential blowout with a 13-5 run to lead 34-25.
Undaunted Granbury fell into preventing Brewer from scoring while slowly chipping away at the 9-point disadvantage. Schenewark and Colston's four free throws started the run, and Colston nailed a three-pointer to make it 34-32 with 2:39 remaining.
Brewer was kept from scoring for almost six minutes and would only get four points the rest of the way as Colston took charge, sandwiching a pair of buckets around two charity shots. The last shot from behind the arc rang up the 39-39 score.
THE FIRST HALF
Granbury took charge in the first quarter and ran out to a 7-2 lead as Peyton Plash, Schenewark, Colston, Isaiah Trejo combined to outscore Brewer 11-8. The Bears fought back as Granbury went through a cold shooting spell, and Plash was sidelined by a hard fall.

Coach Breazeale likes Granbury's hoop chance in 2021-22 season

A LITTLE BIT: Coach David Breazeale points out how a little can mean a lot on the basketball court.

Granbury High School’s Pirates team hit the hardwood for the first official boys basketball practices of 2021 on Oct. 28, and coach David Breazeale is happy with what he has seen so far.
"I really like the guys we have. Super, super easy to coach kids who want to perform well and be good teammates," Breazeale said. "That is not just 'coach cliche' talk. This group has good and funny personalities. They come to practice in good moods most days, which is rare from the teenage demographic, and they are unselfish. So, character matters in a long season of ups and downs, and I like our chances because of that."
It will be a long, arduous season for Granbury, with District 5-5A opponents Brewer and Aledo returning many of their starters from last year. Breazeale pointed out that Wichita Falls Rider also had a good mix of athletes and skilled basketball players, and Wichita Falls High's strong freshmen class and a couple of big posts make them the darkhorse in the district race.
GHS is returning three starters — Gus Hamlin, Sawyer Schenewark, and Corbin King — but there are no guarantees on a starting role as Breazeale seeks to balance his team with the right mix and rotation.
"I want balance. So, we need point production from bench players, from role players, from multiple ways (off created turnovers, etc.)," Breazeale said. "Somebody will emerge as a scorer that will surprise me."
With a 30-game schedule, Breazeale is looking at keeping 10-12 players on his varsity with opportunities for other players to add themselves to the varsity squad with their performances.
Hamlin is still busy playing football, and it's unclear how many other players will show up for practice next week. Defensive back Dereck Lacy said he was committed to playing basketball earlier this year, and he's a fleet-footed player who can speed up the Pirates' fastbreak offense.
One big difference to start the season will be the high number of road games (5-of-6) that Granbury will be facing this season.
"That is how it played out because most of the non-district teams you play are on a two-year home/road schedule," Breazeale said. "We started with a lot of home games last year."
Does having that many early road games play out as an advantage or disadvantage for the Pirates?
"I don't know. I think what benefits you most in your non-district schedule is to play against a variety of styles of play to prep you for anything that might come down the pike in district and hopefully playoff competition," Breazeale said.
More than anything, Breazeale wants a team-oriented defense this season.
"Our returners have enough experience to be among our best defenders," Breazeale said. "But our defensive system is based more on individuals understanding our team defensive concepts. We need a team full of intelligent defenders. However, I always need 'that guy' who is assigned to slow down an opponent's star."
Has Breazeale got anyone in mind for that role?
"That ladies and gentlemen is a job where we are taking all applicants and hoping to find a key-role player.... time will tell," Breazeale said.
Granbury will be scrimmaging against Birdville and Chisolm Trail on Nov. 6 and has road games against Saginaw (Nov. 9) and Joshua (11-16). The Pirates first home game will be on Nov. 20 against Kennedale in a 4 p.m. game.
