IT"S SHOWTIME 6PM Tonight @ Pope John XXIII Katy Texas TAPPS 4A Regional "IT'S A REMATCH"

THE GAME…

Fort Bend Christian started a stellar season going over thirty wins including a victory at Westbury Christian Lady Wildcats den by 8 points.  The Lady Eagles look to soar and land their chance to win the District 4 Title, but was spoiled by a couple of losses to the Lady Pioneers of Lutheran South. One in the regular season and the second was the semi finals of District 4 Tournament. It was an opportunity missed by the Lady Eagles to play Westbury Christian for the District 4 Title who took the Title for the 5th straight year beating Lutheran South in the District 4 Tournament Championship game. The Lady Pioneers lost the Lady Wildcats twice this season. The second was for the District Title game.

THE HISTORY…

Jan 17 – Westbury Christian over Lutheran South 70-42
Jan 25 - Fort Bend Christian over Westbury Christian 59-51
Jan 29 - Fort Bend Christian lost Lutheran South 54-60
Feb 14 - Fort Bend Christian lost Lutheran South 65-58
Feb 16 - Westbury Christian over Lutheran South 49-42
Feb 26 – It’s SHOWTIME!!!

THE QUESTIONS…

Will the Lady Eagles of Fort Bend Christian beat the Lady Wildcats of Westbury Christian for the second time or will the four times defending STATE Champion Westbury Christian still have the will to win and move forward to claim their Fifth State Championship? Will the hungry Lady Eagles of Fort Bend Christian have enough strength to soar high tonight and land their chance for a State Title or will the Lady Wildcats spoil their chances? It will all remain a QUESTION until tonight when THE GAME is played. Who’s hungry for the WIN?

Seven Lakes fought hard and took a 2 point lead going into the fourth quarter but the Spartans couldn't stop a hard charging and more talented Clear Springs who ranks #3 in state. They were one win away from representing Region 3 (Houston area) at the state UIL Final Four tournament in Austin. "I am very proud of Lauren, it's been a long four years of high school basketball with huge dedication and commitment that has culminated in Seven Lakes many firsts, including Region Championship runners-up and a 33-7 record." Said Troy Sim, Lauren's dad. He is one of the most dedicated father I've known from summer basketball since our daughters were in grade school. What a great journey for Lauren. The memoirs that a father will treasure for life. I salute you Troy.

Don't count them out yet... Lady Wildcats showed tenacity in their second meeting with Lutheran North who was favored to win on top of TAPPS 4A District 4 this season. Senior point guard Carly Truesdale showed why she is a great point guard. She got everyone involved early in the game that had the lady lions guessing on who to defend. She made some great precised passes that made her teammate scored open baskets. The score book may not show it, but it was a game that a true point guard showed her best. She finished with 11 points, countless assists, rebounds and a few blocks. Lady wildcats was led by senior post Allison Ondrusek with 18 points followed by junior guard Hannah Cambel with 17 points who hits 5 three pointers with 4 of them before the half giving the wildcats a 29-11 lead. We can not forget senior guard KC Rodgers and junior guard Leslie Nava doing all the dirty work for the lady wildcats creating havoc on Lutheran North's offense. Westbury Christian will play Lutheran South for TAPPS 4A District 4 Title game 5:00 p.m. Saturday, February 16th. It's a match up you don't want to miss. Will Westbury Christian repeat and hold on to their crown or will they be challenged by the young Lady Pioneers? Game is set and ready to be played!
