More for the basketball heads here, but if you were anywhere close to DFW last night, I hope you were able to make it to some of the state semifinal games in the metroplex! Duncanville vs North Crowley was a defensive slugfest with a huge shot by North Crowley by a kid who had not played the entire game. Ended on a bit of controversy! And Frisco Heritage pulled off a last second shot to knock off defending state runner up Birdville. Frisco Heritage Cam Lomax with a big time runner to win the game! Lomax scored his 3000th career point in that game. @Gerry Hamilton you would have loved either of these games!

For sure. Watched a little online … Heritage-Birdville was a tremendous game 

The Texas UIL has absolutely ruined high school basketball playoffs for me

These state semi-finals should not be scattered around the state as they are.

Im old school with high school basketball … the state tournament was a SPECIAL event for me growing up 

 

I agree! That’s all everyone has talked about these last two years. I know it’s hard with the split divisions, but they have to find a way to make it work somehow! While they are at it, PLEASE find a better venue than the Alamodome! Not sure if they will ever move it to DFW, but Dickies Arena in Ft Worth would be perfect!

I’m excited for this weekend though. Heritage-Westbrook game should great! N Crowley-Brennnan will be as well. Also excited to see if Bo Ogden can grab himself a state championship against a super solid Little Elm! Not to mention the 3 Dallas ISD schools going for state championships!

I agree. Nothing like seeing Kendrick Perkins.. or Shaq, all in one place, like you could then. Some things don't need to be changed.

Are the finals always in San Antonio now or will it rotate?
