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.
