Lake Country delivers crown for coach Randy Carlisle
Fort Worth Star-Telegram    Share   
Fort Worth Lake Country Christian players learned a month ago that this would be coach Randy Carlisle's last season at the school. Their going-away gift for their coach is a state championship. Four players scored at least 12 points as the Eagles defeated The Brook Hill School of Bullard 73-60 in the TAPPS Class 3A boys state championship game at Mansfield Summit High School. More

Memorial plays out a movie script to the final minute
San Antonio Express-News    Share   
You've seen this movie before. The inner-city team finds a way to win basketball games and rally a community. Then comes the big playoff moment, against a local power from the richer part of town. Pause it with a couple of seconds left. With the ball in the hands of the 5-foot-9 senior and the hardest-working player. With the kid taking a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. Snap back to reality, where the scene played out last week. More

Benavides targets another title
Corpus Christi Caller Times    Share   
The Benavides baseball team shared the District 32-A championship with two other teams last season. This year the Eagles want the title outright. It's a definite possibility considering the team returns nine starters and 13 lettermen. The Eagles tied Ben Bolt and Kingsville Academy for first place in the standings a year ago and finished 15-9 after losing to Runge in the opening round of the playoffs. Benavides lost only one starter from that squad, giving Wheeler plenty to work with. More

Mansfield Timberview girls have unfinished business
Fort Worth Star-Telegram    Share   
Mansfield Timberview is back where a lot of people thought it would wind up—in Austin, trying to capture the state championship that got away a year ago. As if the regular season were just a warm-up act for the state's No. 1-ranked team. More

After bump in road, Garland Lakeview accelerates on playoff ride
The Dallas Morning News    Share   
A week ago, Garland Lakeview (30-3) had a major scare. Now, after two straight victories, the Patriots are back to feeling the way they did throughout the season. Recently, Lakeview defeated Bryan, 89-61, in a 5A Region II quarterfinal playoff game at Waco High. Chris Jones led the way with 22 points, but the reserves were also important, scoring a combined 21 points. Before going into the playoffs, Lakeview had won five of its last six games by double digits. And now, after a two-point nail-biter against Lake Highlands last Tuesday, the Patriots have won by 11 and 28, finding their groove again. More

Westbury Christian sweeps 4A
Houston Chronicle    Share   
Westbury Christian girls coach Reed Sutton finished his career at Westbury Christian with the team's second straight state title at Mansfield Legacy High School. The Wildcats defeated Argyle Liberty Christian 73-69 to win the TAPPS 4A crown. Sutton, who has accepted the head coaching job at Faulkner College in Montgomery, Ala., said that he couldn't have imagined a more perfect ending. More

Centurions primed for big baseball season
Corpus Christi Caller-Times    Share   
This is the season the John Paul II baseball team has been waiting for. Loaded with an abundance of returning talent, the Centurions are primed for another successful TAPPS campaign. After getting to within a victory of the state tournament a year ago, the team has all the motivation it needs. More

Harlandale rises to new heights
San Antonio Express-News    Share   
Back in October, Harlandale boys basketball coach Chris Adamek stood before his team and surveyed the prospects. It was the first day teams could conduct after-school practices, and what Adamek saw left him with plenty of doubts. His Indians were too inexperienced. They had lost too many key parts from an undefeated district championship team. But none of those things mattered as Harlandale celebrated its historical 77-66 Class 4A regional quarterfinal victory against Laredo Nixon at Littleton Gym. More
