How’s the schedule looking?

Nice!

Maxpreps has Amarillo taking down FB Hightower 64-53 in the other 5A semifinal.

Looking at max preps it looks like she’s only a freshman??

That final score is very generous to Poth. This was a 30+ point finish without woodville clearing the bench the last couple of minutes

43-16

These small school state games are always interesting. You never know what you’re gonna get. Didn’t expect this halftime score

37-11 at the half!

Poth finally scores with 1:30 left in the 2nd quarter. 37-11

Woodville is smoking them!

That’s about as close as it gets for a 1 vs 2 game. Now 4 and 7 face off!

4 good teams left.

They have some shooters, and can slow it down. I don’t think they’re all that great this year, just a solid team, but they were able to play Argyle’s style last night and squeak out an upset.

That’s a good thing for the tigers. Argyle is a lot scarier to me than a team that’s gonna try and run with the tigers.

Probably 58. I’m assuming OF didn’t score 16 in the last 2:30

Heck Of a season!

I’m not really seeing anything that Connally has done to make me think this game will be close. I’ll say Yates 91, Connally 64.

Looking at Lincoln’s four losses, they’re #10 in 5A (in the state tourney), and #6 and #7 in 6A, plus another 6A school that went 27-9. So maybe they’re as scary as argyle.

I did notice a couple of common opponents with argyle, who scare me the most. Pretty much all 7 of their losses are close losses to 6A schools. The lost to Marcus and Boswell like HJ, but by 3 and 5 points. HJ lost to those teams by 19 and 14. Argyle plays slow, methodical games, which is not really HJs style. I’m hoping if the hawks advance they play Lincoln.

HJ definitely drew the opponent that I hoped they would. While unranked, Burnet is 31-7 on the season, and there are no bad teams left at this stage. They beat some good teams on their way to state, but as best I can tell they came out of the weakest region. Many of their 7 losses aren’t great, with several losses to teams with bad records (and a loss to a 2A school, albeit one with a 38-1 record) while all of HJs came to competition with winning records (6A #4 Jersey Village, 6A Flower Mound Marcus, 5A Boswell with a 31-7 record, and 6A #17 Frenship). I didn’t want HJ to draw Argyle or Dallas Lincoln, ranked 4 and 5, because drawing one meant they probably have to beat both to win a championship. I like the hawks’ chances in this one, and I’ll take them 74-59.

Congrats, hawks! Is this the first time they’ve gone to state since 2001? I didn’t keep up with them much after I graduated that year

Wow! Thought this would be a little closer

Let’s go, hawks!

HJ 71 Fairfield 54

On paper tomorrow should be an easier game. Fairfield has a worse record than heritage, lost to them head to head, and had several close games against teams with losing records. That being said, Fairfield had a solid result against Silsbee.
