Cy Falls is improving with each game after their preseason opener which is scary and here's what yours truly had to say about them after their first game. "This seasons squad is all over the place and whether they are attacking the basket or launching the missiles, I expect them to be one of the more explosive ones before it's all said and done". It's too early to say wrap it up, especially since our area has at least 10 teams that could actually get hot at the right time and represent R3, but you may want to start looking at wrapping paper. Cy Falls demolished everyone prior to the championship game against Klein Forest but as I always say, "It's not what you do, it's who you do it against" and the pressure they put on the other Eagles in the first quarter, they led (30-10) after one, set the tone for the game. KF could get no closer than 10 the rest of the game, they wound up losing (72-50) but this loss will go a long way toward them competing for the district title and throughout the playoffs. Had Klein Forest's post not transferred during her freshman season, KF would be the next Cy Falls, they start four sophomores and a junior, their post is 5'9, maybe, but Carol Willie and Erin Caldwell were just too much down low. Falls Fantastic Four guard lineup gives you four different's players that can score 20 or more on any given night but this week we'll see just how good the Eagles are
Westside took a 36 point pounding from Falls on Friday and they had to face Memorial who lost to KF during the last few minutes twice last week, so just when I think the Wolves are about to hide in their den for the season, they pull off the big upset to capture 3rd place. Like I said about KF, that big loss will do more for Westside in the long run than you can imagine and they are going to need everyone on the same page if they want to compete with Bellaire for the district title. On the flip side, Memorial has fallen apart in the second half against KF twice and today against Westside but they have missed a key player in each of those games. Their district was one of the toughest last season and it appears to be headed down the same path again.
A Cienna Rivera (less) Cy Ranch was just what the doctor ordered for Klein to get back on track as they won the 5th place game. It appears Klein will have to battle Klein Oak again this season for that final playoff spot and they have the nucleus to do so with point guard Ashley Alexander leading the way.
