Girls Regional Finals

Our Fillies dispatched the Wall Hawks this evening 66-48 in the regional semis, which is quite a nice score when you consider that coming into this game Wall was ranked #5 and Shallowater #6. I remained convinced that ranking high school teams anywhere, but especially in Texas, is a fools game.

Their reward?  A matchup in the regional finals with Bowie.  A smallish AA school, the Bowie starting lineup consists of

• 6′ 0″
• 6′ 0″
• 6′ 0″
• 5′ 11″
• 5′ 10″

On the bench they do have a girl 5′ 5″.  She sits with the other 8 subs none of which is less than 5′ 8″.

I’m not kidding.  This is what I’ve been told.

What do they do, put these girls on the rack as kids? 

It will be a challenge for sure.  Bowie is ranked #2 if you go for such things (see above).  Our Fillies are peaking at a good time…maybe they can pull this off and return to the state tournament!
