Cut 19 (15) “be ready”

First Pitch is scheduled for 6:30, weather permitting.

The New Orleans Pelicans lost to the Memphis Grizzlies last night 115-110 as the team played once again without stars Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson.  Not only did the Pels lose, but the Spurs beat the Bucks, meaning New Orleans’ chances of making the play-in tournament even slimmer.  The Pelicans trail San Antonio by two and a half games for the final spot with just three games remaining in the regular season.

In college basketball, former Ragin Cajuns guard Mylik Wilson has announced he’s transferring to Texas Tech. The former Rayville standout averaged 13 points a game last season.  Also, The Lady Bulldogs announce six-foot-two forward Kate Thompson is transferring to La Tech after spending last season at Wisconsin.

The Ragin Cajuns baseball team is scheduled to host the Southern Jaguars tonight in Lafayette, and the high school baseball season comes to an end this week in Sulphur as the LHSAA Baseball State Championships begin today.
