If this was a movie the script wouldn’t end this way as Elsik takes on Bellaire at Stratford tonight. These two teams have provided the area with some of the most exciting memories over the past two seasons. Starting with the Cardinals 20 plus come from behind victory a couple of seasons ago in the Elite 8 to Elsik's blowout victory over them on opening day last season which propelled them to become the R3 representative until now. Both teams were picked as possible favorites when the season started, both teams have battled multiple injuries with players this season, both teams have looked at times like they wouldn't make it this far and right now both teams look as if they could win the region
Whoever loses the game, it's senior class will leave their legacy as both have won district flour straight seasons, Elsik's group added yet another trip to state while Bellaire's has made it to the regional finals twice
Glancing around the state playoff brackets it appears several super games are on tap as Desoto vs Skyline and Pflugerville vs The Woodlands in Region 2 while Plano West takes on the defending state champ and this seasons #1 ranked team, Irving MacArthur in Region 1.
Last night Clear Springs handled Clear Creek with ease, no surprise there as I predicted they had the easiest route to Campbell, while Dekaney defeated Atascocita 65-53 in a game that was a lot closer than I anticipated.
Here is tonight's schedule which includes a triple-header at Campbell Center
