Playoff Bound

It became official after we beat Yoakum and Palacios lost that we had secured at least a playoff spot. But after beating Yoakum, we are currently sitting by ourselves in 2nd place. Though first place is not mathmatically out of the question, our realistic goal is going to be holding on to second and going into the playoffs with a 6 game winning streak.

When we beat Yoakum Tuesday night, we put together what was perhaps our best tip to buzzer game of the year. We brought the intensity and we brought the effort. And for most of the game, we executed well on both ends of the court. Even though we started the game shooting 1-10 while Yoakum built a 9-1 lead, we kept within the game plan and by the end of the first quarter we had tied the game. After that 1-10 shooting start, the rest of the game we hit 60% of our shots. That stat itself will win a lot of ball games.

In my opinion, Yoakum is still the best team in our district (that is to say the best team behind us). But we knocked them down to third. That makes Friday's game against Cuero just about as big as they come. We beat the so far undefeated in district Cuero team and we can all but wrap up the second spot. It will take another game of all out effort and great execution to do it. But if we play like we did against Yoakum, I believe we will beat Cuero. Below is a youtube highlight film of just how we beat Yoakum.
