Barbers Hill Ready For Anyone

When you beat the top ranked team in the state who was also undefeated at the time, the momentum has got to be on your side. Not only did Barbers Hill defeat Beaumont Ozen in the R3-4A final, they blew them out (66-39) in one of the biggest upsets I can remember since, well forever. Ozen knocked off several 5A schools along the way, including Clear Springs, which shows how surprising this was


Today they take on Mansfield Summit, which is no ordinary 4A team itself, as they hope to do something they did several times in 3A and that's not only advance to the state finals but win the whole thing. As Kendall Shaw and Shannon Evans go out together into the sunset, they have achieved something no other Eagle team has and what better way for those two who started playing together almost as preschoolers with the Little Dribblers than making it to state
