13-5A Tomball vs Dekaney

District 13-5A has had some of the most exciting games this season and this game was what teams fighting for the top spot in district is supposed to to look like. It had everything, great coaching, great team play, exciting individuual efforts, horrible calls and the fans from both sides were in it from the jump, I felt like moving to the other side and sit on the floor.




It was Dekaney early, in fact they looked like they wanted to put this one away in the first half with an all around effort to take a double digit lead,but Tomball kept fighting.




Led by their "BIG FOUR", Mc Stravick (12), Brown(11), Frank(14) and Diaz (31) Tomball took the lead early in the fourth quarter on a McStravick three.

Taylor(12), Nevitt(14) and Ali(8) all hit some big shots in this double overtime thriller






The star of the game was Durley who dropped 32 on an array of three pointers and acrobatic lay-ups. She has taken her game to another level and is moving in up the top 2012 player in the city ladder, what a year for Houston players . Diaz (2012) was superb as well, carrying Tomball after Frank fouls out, on many "how did she do that" moves, but it was a great game and that for me was refreshing because this season has been, well different.
