due to the transfer portal, and the covid year of extra eligibility.... 2022, 2023 and 2024 graduates are in a tough spots as schools dont need as many players due to current college kids exercising the extra covid year.  
On top of that, unless they are an absolute gamer or have height, insane scoring ability (not scoring averages that come from fast break layups)  the colleges can go shopping in the portal and get a proven player at that level.
I think as you see teams like lsu womens who relied heavily on the portal succeed, that will be the norm....
Also, it has changed the D1 game as a whole, where almost all players coming off the bench roll Into the portal and find a home elsewhere.... Thats why the blue blood programs have NO bench and the mid major teams who keep their benches intact a little better are starting to find more success..

Palestine got tons of easy buckets just chunking it down the court and laying it up... especially early.  SIlsbee took alot of mid range jumpshots and couldnt hit alot of them, which compounded the easy buckets at the other end.  They also had alot of turnovers on long crosscourt passes that turned into layups.
Was a good night for Palestine and a bad night for silsbee...   Their guard size seemed to give Silsbee problems as well. 
Palestine has played ultiple stretches this year without their best 2 at different times.  They should have won their district easily... in my opinion

Lady Hawks win 110-38

Lady Hawks now 7-0 in district, 26-5 on the season.  One more win to clinch the district championship. 
 

The unnamed team was Southwest Prep out of Ontario, Canada.  Very solid team filled with several D1 players.  All of them were about 6'0 with a 6'3' post.  We played well, just ran out of gas and lost a close one....
The whole rankings thing is fun for observers....   Final rankings are the one that matters!  That will settle in 2 weeks.  Right now the Lady Hawks want to beat Navasota.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Disagree about the district....   Huffman is 20-5 with 2 losses to HJ and one to Kingwood Park.  They have really been playing well.  Have a really good chance to end up in the Regional tournament as the 2 seed out of our district  
I agree about the schedule, but the Lady Hawks practice against some of the best every day at practice....   
The preseason was put together to take the district into account...
The #1 Team from Colorado, The #8 team from Georgia, Atascocita, Summer Creek, Duncanville, Austin, Wagner, Clemens, Memorial, Plano, Red Oak, Cedar Hill, St. Agnes,   The 4a teams on the schedule are all either winning their districts or 2nd and were all 50+ games....  
To be 27-4 with that schedule is a testament to the work the girls are putting in!

Lady Hawks improve to 24-4 , 8-0 with a 91-28 win.   Lots of balanced scoring.  a 35-0 run by the Lady Hawks midway thru the 1st and into the 2nd put this one away early.
