Things are looking good for Cy- Falls. Vype
Originally appeared on Vype.com
The holidays are over and now the basketball season really begins.
The Cy Falls Eagles are back in the No. 1 perch in pursuit of their back-to-back state title, but it’s the district play first.
Dekaney had a great Whataburger tourney in Dallas this weekend, while Sam Houston is demonstrating a well-balance squad as everyone gets involved.
Yates looks like the team to beat in Class 4A, while Westside won the HISD Tourney and looks big and rangy. Clear Lake can score with Ajare Sanni doing work. The three-guard system is working for Bush and coach Ronnie Courtney. The District 19-6A is looking competitive. Morton Ranch, Tompkins, Katy and Strake Jesuit are nice and don’t sleep on Seven Lakes.

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.
