The 3rd round was tough. All these kids want to keep playing. Desoto went down to Temple. That was unexpected. LBJ lost in OT to Lake Travis, that also was a case of the underdog winning. Austin Lake Travis 66 Austin LBJ 56 OT
Lake Travis NEVER led in regulation. They chipped away in the 4th quarter, down 10 in a foul filled contest that saw 4 LBJ starters and 2 LT starters foul out. The Jags simply had no scoring power left for the extra stanza. Senior Donald Dallas led LBJ with 22, while 2010 P Cole Vukurevich had 19 for the Cavs in the win. It was sweet revenge as LT turned the tables on LBJ from last year's Region 4 Championship game.
Kerrville Tivy 47 Dripping Springs 39 (details in separate post)
Huntsville 49 Del Valle 45
The Cardinals game run was stopped by a quality Huntsville team led by 2010 G Jeremy Laday who had 25. DV's 2010 G Bralyn Thomas had 16 for the Cardinals.
Converse Wagner 89 San Antonio Churchill 68
Converse Wagner brole open a close game at halftime with a 32 point 3rd quarter. 2010 W Andre Roberson led the T Birds with 18 in the win while 6'9" post Mike Byron (Gardner-Webb) ended his high school career with 16 points.
I went 20-32 combined in 4A & 5A games for a percentage of, 62%. In the voilatile world of prognostication, I quote New York Yankee Catcher, Yogi Berra. "This prediction stuff sure is difficult, especially when it has to do with the future" lol The youngsters probably won't get that one.
