2019 R-3 6A Sweet 16

I love this picture for a variety of reasons and one of the main ones is that Taylor Thomas (Ridgepoint) sandwiched between the Truong twins (Jersey Village) have been at this for quite some time and showed they were definitely next level players. The twins have already signed with Gonzaga while Thomas is one of the top remaining UNSIGNED players in Texas and both, well all, have helped lead their squads to the Sweet 16 and hopefully beyond

Ridgepoint vs Cypress Creek- should be a definite guard battle as Thomas and super soph more Raven Adams are fired up and ready against Cy Creek's sophomore back-court of Rori Harmon and Kyndall Hunter. This could be interesting

Katy vs Heights-Katy and their big three of UNSIGNED combo Cassidy Howard, Savannah May and Allana Thompson go against Heights featuring scoring machine Gracelyn Alvarez, the sophomore opened up her HS career dropping 40 as a freshman and if she's on, this could go either way WHOA Katy won a nail-biter 48-47, what did I just say

Clear Springs vs Dobie- I'm going with Clear Springs because of the heat they always bring on defense but Jasmine Hartman (Bellaire) (Oklahoma) is one of the top point guards to come of the area and she has Dobie going back to yesteryear

Alief Elsik vs Summer Creek- I', not just going with Summer Creek because we have the same initials, well actually I am but UNSIGNED 6'2 post Erinescia Ford has been on a double doubling tear for the Rams so who knows

Jersey Village vs Westside- this is next weeks game, JV has already moved on and I just don't see Westside not being there, but I called this one last week

Atascocita vs Clear Falls-if Dede Davis is healthy, the Taz could actually win the region, not sure if she is but the winner goes against Pearland who knocked off unbeaten Beaumont United last night

SCHEDULE

R-2 6A bringing heat off the top

Cy Ranch has been sending messages throughout the season and they appear to be on a collision course to meet Hendrickson in Regionals, Hendrickson has been #1 based on TABC rankings most of the season, currently they're #2 while the Mustangs are #12. Haley Wesley has been a double-double waiting to happen all season, well most of her career so the UNSIGNED star will definitely be bringing it for Spring who have an outside shot at making a run, Vista Ridge is probably their next opponent and then they'd face am explosive  Langham Creek vs Klein Collins winner, Collins has that 2020 star Emily Dogbaste who is about to blow up. Plenty of tough squads in this region, Alem, Prosper, who knows

2019 First round ready for whatever

First round games are generally iffy to a perfect world however I've seen districts swept in the opening round numerous times because the game is played on the court. Last year, #4 Alvin, pulled off a major upset defeating #1Pearland in the opening round, much of that had to do with UNSINGNED Andreea Mancha dropping 7 threes so with the addition of her talented freshman sister Mercedes, they're opening up against Elsik featuring 6'2 Ernescia Ford who is also UNSIGNED yet both have created plenty of buzz. The winner of that game will probably play Summer Creek who made it to Regional Finals last season and have a chance to do just that again however Clear Springs could throw a wrench in them even making it to Regionals

1st Round GAMES

Ridgepoint has one of the states top sophomore guards in Raven Adams as well as one of the top UNSIGNED guards in Texas, Taylor Thomas and they will have to battle defending R-3 champions Cy Creek in the 2nd round and that winner more than likely will face Katy with talented UNSIGNED guard Cassie Howard to see who makes it to Regional semifinals. On the bottom of the bracket, I think Westside and Jersey Village are on a collision course to see who makes it to Merrell Center while Atascocita and Beaumont United have a good shot at playing that game before the R-3 semifinal and none of this means nothing because again, the game is played on the court, and I ain't playing
