What a wild weekend of playoff basketball.

Three teams from Houston advance to the UIL Boys State Tournament while Houston was left out of the Girls State Tournament Championships.

Jack Yates represents the lone non-6A Houston team remaining in the tournament. The Lions coasted through the Region 3 tournament to a State Semifinal matchup with Oak Cliff Faith Family Academy. The 4A Semifinal is set for Friday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. The winner will face either Decaur or Liberty Hill on Saturday at 7 p.m. in the 4A UIL State Championship.

North Shore was victorious in Saturday's 33-32 nail-biter with George Ranch in the Region 3 Championship. The Mustangs advance to face DFW powerhouse Duncanville in the 6A Semifinals on Friday. Tip off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

In the other 6A semifinal, Klein Forest meets up with Cibolo Steele after the Eagles defeated DFW's Rockwall and South Garland in Region 2. The Eagles and Steele Knights will tip off after the conclusion of North Shore-Duncanville, which is scheduled for 8:30 p.m.

The 6A UIL State Championship game will tip off Saturday at 8:30 p.m.

Houston Texans add two more weapons to the offense

According to multiple reports, the Houston Texans are signing former Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz to a 1-year deal worth up to $9 million.

In 15 games last season, Schulz caught 57 passes and recorded 577 receiving yards with 5 TDs. Over the past 3 years, his numbers are right up there with the top tight ends in the game.

The Texans also added some depth at running back by signing former Bills RB Devin Singletary to a 1-year deal worth up to $3.75 million.

He should be a good fit sharing carries with Dameon Pierce. Singletary rushed for 819 yards last season, with 5 rushing TDs. His ability to catch the football had to be one of the elements of his game that got GM Nick Caserio's attention.

Singletary caught 38 passes for 280 yards last year. With Rex Burkhead no longer under contract, Singletary will be a nice upgrade catching passes out of the backfield for Houston.
