Sometimes we see these Dallas and Houston schools play small schools in the final and it’s a bad mismatch. This didnt feel like that. Orangefield just picked a bad day to have a bad game. This game was winnable.

Gotta make layups when they get them

Orangefield is gonna get a T soon if they don’t chill out. Could’ve had a couple already

Orangefield can get easy baskets when they don’t panic against the press. They’re very fortunate that Madison has horrible shot selection or they’d be too far down to come back

Terrible, terrible turnovers

Killed their momentum. They would’ve gone up 4, now down 8

Refs gotta quit calling it when Madison flops, too

Really excited about the tournament this year. Have legitimate interest in just about every game for one reason or another (beyond it being a state championship). 3 local teams, plus San Augustine who we’ve covered at times, some small school juggernauts and some 4A squads capable of beating the typical Dallas teams.

Ahh, my favorite time of year, when we get to watch Houston and Dallas schools with 6A (and beyond) player pools try and win state championships in 3A and 4A against towns of 10,000 people or less. What’s Orangefield at these days, maybe 1,000 or so?

Heck yeah!

Let’s go!

Two very good teams, but I kinda expect heritage to pull away in this one

Watched the first 3 quarters of this game. Crawford reminded me a whole lot of those special Silsbee teams we got to see a few years back

Orangefield finished the half well. Fortunate that London was ice cold from behind the arc. Missed several wide open looks while I was watching

London’s press giving the Cats some fits
