From sports staff reports

Barbers Hill basketball teams will travel near and far Tuesday night in pursuit of advancing in the state playoffs.

The No. 14-ranked Lady Eagles, hot off a 67-55 area-round win over Willis Friday, will play Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Blinn Junior College against Del Valle.

Del Valle’s 17-4A champs, ranked No. 11 in the state, defeated Magnolia 48-38 and Livingston 45-29 in the playoffs to bring a 33-2 record into the Region III-4A quarterfinal game.

Barbers Hill’s boys, 22-11, will face Nederland in a Class 4A bidistrict game at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Winnie’s East Chambers High School.

Nederland tied Beaumont Ozen for the District 20-4A championship and Nederland, 19-14, won Friday night’s seeding game against Ozen in Port Arthur by a 70-64 score after two overtimes.

Lady Eagles 1 win from regionals

MONT BELVIEU — The Barbers Hill girls’ basketball team played most of the season with a nine-player roster. They added three more for the playoffs and coach John Chancellor likes it that way.

“I like our rotation,” the coach said. “I don’t have a problem with it (having grown). In fact, I like the extended rotation. The kids up from the JV have really done a good job.

“I think our strength is our depth. It allows us to do a lot of things. We can put a lot of pressure on people, we can run people and we can have fresh legs at the end of the game.”

Those ideas could get a test tonight when the Lady Eagles take on the Del Valle Lady Cardinals in a Class 4A Region III quarterfinal matchup at Blinn Junior College in Brenham.

Game time is 7:45 p.m.

Del Valle, ranked No. 11 in the state and 33-2 overall, only plays about six players a game, Chancellor said.

“They try to spread the floor and play at a controlled pace. They don’t do a lot of running up and down. They’re much more of a ball-control offense.”

The Cardinals are led by Monique McElveen, a post player who averages a double-double and scored 16 in Del Valle’s 45-29 win over Livingston in the area round.

“She’s the main focal point of the team,” Chancellor said. “She’s a very well coached player. But they’ve actually got two strong post players and a good quick point guard. Their two-guard is a good 3-point shooter and the other guard is a defensive specialist.”

Center Kendall Shaw has led 28-5 and No. 14-ranked Barbers Hill in scoring during the season and again in the playoffs, scoring 24 points in bidistrict and 18 points against Willis.

But the Lady Eagles guards have put on a clinic when it comes to ball-handling, ball-stealing and outside shooting. In Friday’s 67-55 win over Willis, guard Carli Manchaca had three 3-pointers and 15 points.

If Barbers Hill’s girls can pick up their third playoff win, they would advance the the Region III-4A tournament Friday and Saturday at Aldine’s Campbell Center. That would be a first under Chancellor, their fifth-year coach.

“It would be nice to win and go play in regional,” the coach allowed. “But we’ve got to play. Just get after it and go play.”
