2011-2012 High School Season REWIND "St. Thomas @ Westbury Christian" by: High School Hopefuls

Summer Basketball Slowly Trickles In..

This past weekend Houston Elite held their 12th Annual Spring Fling tournament and shows quite a few talented girls and teams fresh from school ball ready to grind it all over again for the summer. Elite teams from Dallas, San Antonio and Houston battled it out thru Sunday afternoon. Teams in attendance are DFW Washington 2013 Black, HIO Showtime, DFW Elite G-Dub, Houstonians, DFW 2015 Elite, DFW Washington 2013 Blue, Cy-Fair Nike Mickens, Houston Elite Select, DFW Elite Gold, Cy-Fair Dallas 360, DFW Elite T-Jack, San Antonio Rohawks, Cy-Fair Dallas Blue, DFW 2015 Blue, Triple D Hoops, Galveston Cyclones, Texas MP Elite, Cy-Fair Dallas 2015, DFW Elite 2014 Blue, Cy-Fair Dallas 2015, DFW Marques Jackson, and Lady Warriors. Competition is getting stronger every year and it looks like Texas will have a good showing of girls playing in the next level in the near future. The interest has grown tremendously for the past 4 years. So girls it's time to get the ball rolling. Have your best attitude on and off the floor, because you don't know who's watching! Have a great, fun and healthy summer of basketball.

Happy St. Patrick's Day...

The BIG 2 committed to BIG 12! A Double Plus for the Red Raiders

Texas Tech landed a duo. Wannah Bail and Michael Carey will continue their basketball career at Lubbock Texas playing for the BIG 12 conference. The two seniors from Lamar Consolidated will team up again to play in the next level under Coach Billy Gillispie. Houston, Oregon and Florida State were on the hunt for the duo and Houston was on top of the list at one time, but scholarships issues might have prevented the possibility of having them closer to home.

Photos by: Randy Glover

Westbury Christian school lady wildcats represented Houston very well to grab the 2012 TAPPS 4A state title four years in a row making it the school's 8th state title. When everyone doubted and most said it's a down year for the girls basketball program at Westbury Christian. The lady wildcats saw it differently. They saw an opportunity to prove themselves. They believed! They knew they have what it takes to win it again. They lost some tough games but won when it matters. CONGRATULATIONS!

Senior guard Tiffany Davis will lead the Lady Wildcats to State...

The lady wildcats of Westbury Christian on a winning streak heads to state tournament after defeating Forth Worth Christian in the regional finals last weekend. They face Bishop Gorman from Tyler Texas at the Legacy in Mansfield Friday March 2nd. The lady wildcats was the only team left out of the four Houston teams that made the TAPPS 4A Elite 8. I was really hoping for a Houston final four, but I guess that's wishful thinking. GO H-TOWN!

Westbury Christian's girls basketball will try to win their 4th straight TAPPS 4A State crown.

They Are To Cross Path Again... Who Will Guard Who?

The two elite guards will meet again in a different flat form but the same game. Who wants it more? I took this picture this past summer when the two elite summer teams Cy Fair Premiere and DFW Elite Washington clashed in a tournament and McCarthy got the "W". This time Ocanas will have a chance to redeem herself on a bigger stage and a chance to grab the Region 3 title and possibly another shot for a State championship, but will McCarthy allows it? Let the games begin and may the best team WIN and keep Houston in the hunt for a deserving 5A State Title.

As the basketball season is winding down and TAPPS 4A State Championship is down to three games to be played. The Lady Crusaders is on a high note after beating Arlington Grace Christian School 49-25. TAPPS 4A District 4 has four teams left in the Elite 8. Tombal Concordia Lutheran, Northland Christian, Second Baptist and Westbury Christian the defending state champions whom everyone said will be on a down year this season is very well still on the hunt and had stayed undefeated in the district with an 11-0 record and had beaten Concordia Lutheran twice this season.
