Everyone is settling into district play as teams are positioning themselves for the postseason.
So who is hot?
Cy Falls is back on track after a challenging tournament season, and should dominate the district. Cy Creek is the only squad standing in their way and they play each other on Friday.
Sam Houston and Westside are the class of the HISD, while Clear Lake is the Big Bird down south. The Falcons have it rolling again under Coach Penders.
After a shaky pre-district slate, the Tompkins Falcons are playing well. Bieniemy (OU), Slojund (Ga. Tech) and Williams are tough to guard.
Shadow Creek is playing a fun brand of basketball and is young, along with Dickinson. Deer Park is having a breakout year along with the BF Terry Rangers.
Stay tuned…

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
Yordan Alvarez had two hits for the Astros, who remained three games ahead of Seattle for first place in the AL West.
