Duncanville traveled to Skyline with their 70 plus game winning streak on the line and after the game was over, it's still going and to be honest with you, I don't see it stopping this season which would take it over 100. Ariel Atkins simply makes things happen and I can't say this enough but she is simply one of the best players I've ever seen. Atkins and Tasia Forman set the stage, their teammates feed off of their intensity and the additions of Tiara Davenport and Cierra Johnson has all but guaranteed a threepeat.
Skyline is a very good and talented team and I haven't seen everyone in their region but I would be surprised if they aren't in Austin as well. I talked about Cristalah Lyons over the summer and I was equally impressed as she did well against the Duncanville heat and even though they didn't win tonight and probably won't win state this season, with one senior on the team, they're early favorites for next season, especially since Alexandria Gulley and Jordan Alexander are helping set the tone
Irving MacArthur traveled to McKinney North and the nationally ranked team joined at least two other state ranked teams that have been beaten by this team that's going t make a run at a 4A state title. Mikaehla Connor simply knows how to put the ball in the basket and she set the tone early and Chanteria Jackson kept it going on the offensive end. The Bulldogs bring heat the whole game and they have the personnel to do just that and Breah Powell, one of the four talented freshman on the squad helps spearhead it. I left at half time to attend Duncanville and Skyline however Tana Driver kept them in the game on an array of baskets and assists to have them down by only one. The box score indicates North opened things up in the third quarter despite Tory Jacobs catching fire
