Houston Yates vs Waco Connelly

[BADSANTA]

Rematchbfrom a close game a few years back in Regionals. In going to say 

Yates 84 

Connelly 79

[bullets13]

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.

I'll take the Houston Team by 16

16???? An Houston team should beat little old Connally by at least 50....

Waco Connelly seems to always be around. Maybe they can break through and go just a little further this year.

I hope not. The Silsbee/Yates game is always one to look forward to.

Connelly beat Lorena by ten after Lorena beat No. 12 Palestine by 12.  That's something anyway.  But I doubt very much at they will be able to hold up when the Lions start raining 3's in the 3rd qtr.  I predict a 20 point margin.

Lorena swept Connally in district play, with one of those wins by 13.

That's why they were 3rd in district.  But something must have happened to them since then.  They are young, starting only 1 senior, so maybe they are coming of age.  You never know with a young team.  Sometimes they don't have enough experience to realize that they should have been eliminated before this.

Anyone at this game.... ?

Yates up 12-4 early. Refs letting them play. 

[DXTR]

17-4 Yates 

3:50 1st

[DXTR]

28-18 Yates after 1

[DXTR]

Half

Yates 51

Connelly 35

Yates shoots the 3 well. Connelly guards can't handle the press. Yates big is a non factor. 

[ST413]

Connaly can’t dribble cleanly on the run and trouble finishing or it might be at least a single digit lead.

[DXTR]

71-56 Yates after 3

Yates wins 88-74

Close game like Silsbee/Huffman

[JimThorpe]

Yates didn’t shoot the three quite as well as the did against HJ.

Yates Won
