Cy Falls starting 5 is as good as any in the area however after this weekend, I'm sure they realize that means nothing outside of Houston as they picked up their first loss of the season against Duncanville and narrowly beat Mansfield Summit (56-48) to win 3rd place in the GOLD.
Keep in mind Mansfield Summit is a 4-A school that was ranked #4 in the preseason by TABC, so for them to come here and knock off two of my area Top 10 teams, The Woodlands and North Shore and then playing the #1 Clear Springs down to the wire (59-52) so I was impressed to say the least. Ashley Eli provided the offensive punch against Springs with 16 while "Fantastic Friday" Honorable Mention Maya Hawkins added 13 in the opener and 17 against Falls
Fantastic Friday player Shernise Robertson continued her offensive barrage of scoring at will, she had to shoot close to 70% on three point attempts, by putting up 18 in the loss to Duncanville.
Loryn Goodwin missed the tourney game record of 18 made free throws by one on Friday was leading scorer against Summit with 16. By winning third place GOLD, they do just what Irving MacArthur did last season, I-MAC went on to win state going away. Maybe it's an omen!
