Frisco Memorial took down Amarillo tonight by 11. Amarillo has all those championships and FM is only in their fourth year….opened in 2018. Frisco opens up a new high school about every 2 or 3 years due to huge population growth. It should be a good game…..Frisco Memorial vs Cedar Park.

Frisco has eleven high schools. I can’t keep ‘em all straight. I have 3 grandkids in 2/5/7 grades in Frisco ISD but not really sure which high school they end up attending. They all will play high school volleyball, soccer and basketball so am with interest watching what Frisco schools succeed in which sports. It’s heartening to see a four year girls program (Frisco Memorial) playing for a state championship. If you detect a bias for the school model of more schools to give more kids opportunities to play…..versus the one high school per town model…..you’re correct. I don’t like the Allen, Duncanville, and other humongous schools model. So I guess I have to root for Memorial on Saturday. Or root for CP cause Maul might be a Horn.

Another player to watch at the state tournament is Ashlon Jackson from class 4A Hardin-Jefferson HS. She is ranked by ESPN as the #16 player in 2022 and committed to Duke. She did not give Texas a sniff. I heard she did not want to stay in State for college. I saw her play in the state tournament when she was a freshman and she was a stud. She is in fact the highest rated player in Texas per ESPN for the 2022 class. They play Argyle in there semifinal game. I don’t give them much of a chance against Argyle.

Wow Big surprise. Hardin-Jefferson beats Argyle and their 37-0 record 49-42. Ashlon Jackson had 26 of HJ’s 49 points. Duke is getting a stud. She may well be the best player in the State this year.

DeSoto won by 9. South Grand Prairie by 24. Should be a good game tomorrow night. I’m surprised Sumner Creek game was so lopsided.

Well I missed it. I thought it was at 7 pm. The 7 pm game is 4-A. So I missed a humdinger. And guess Maul showed up. For anyone who watched, give us a scouting report.

Gisella Maul with ridiculous stats in a State Championship game.

I couldn't get Bally Sports, but kept up with Twitter during the game. Frisco Memorial's star player fouled out with a minute or so to go in the game.

Brownsboro 4-A champs. 50-49. Hectic, frantic game ….especially 4th quester. Ashlyn Jackson had a good game but didn’t get a lot of support. She’ll do fine at Duke but will need some time.

 

[BALL IS LIFE]

Who do we gotta pay for the UIL to put in a shot clock. This Desoto/GP game is tough to watch!

 

[TXSNOS]

Agree, high school basketball needs a shot clock

Several states that weren’t using them have started this year - unfortunately Texas wasn’t one of them despite substantial support from high school (and college) coaches.

I enjoyed watching this game... it definitely was more up-tempo than I expected it to be.
