HOUSTON – Carlesa Dixon could find three words to describe her feeling following a triple-overtime battle with Westside.

Excited. Happy. Tired.

Dixon watched as her team battled through three overtimes to eventually down Westside 72-63 on Saturday to claim the Region III-6A Championship and first-ever trip to the UIL State Girls Basketball Tournament.

"I'm not surprised by it at all," Dixon said about the unwavering effort. "I know my team. I know what we do, I know what we did in the preseason to prepare for moments like this to outlast our opponent. They did it today and I'm proud of them."

Summer Creek bounced back from a Regional Finals loss a year ago to come back and win the region. The Bulldogs become the second Humble ISD girls basketball team to make the tournament, joining the 2004-2005 Humble High School team.

For Dixon, this is a third trip to the state tournament and second as a coach.

"To be there with this group as a first time is going to be special," Dixon, who led Dallas Lincoln to the tournament in 2012-2013.

This Deshaun Watson, Texans brain exercise will make you question everything

Deshaun Watson will make his Cleveland Browns debut this Sunday against his former team at NRG Stadium. Watson has completed his suspension from the NFL for alleged sexual misconduct with dozens of massage therapists, and this Sunday will be the first game he has played in 700 days.

The Browns sit at 4-7 hoping Watson will be the spark the team needs to stack some wins and get into the Wild Card race. The Texans are still searching for their second win of the season, and many believe the team will be hiring another head coach come January.

With this in mind, who has the worst reputation? The Texans or Deshaun Watson?

It seems like an easy answer with Watson's legal troubles, but upon further review, the answer has to be the Texans. The Texans have hired two consecutive coaches that no other NFL team even interviewed. It seems like no quality candidates have any interest in coaching the Texans. Watson, however, had teams lining up for his services when the Texans decided to trade him.

Be sure to check out the video above as we dive into this topic and make a convincing case, as crazy as it sounds, that Watson is perceived to have a better reputation.
