Austin Westlake is big. I've never seen a high school team, in person, with that much height. Maybe a team with good guard play can chop them down. We will see.
Yates has 17 players. They were constantly pressing HC pg Sahvir. Actually they were fouling him most of the time but the refs let them play. Miller Koop for HC is playing more aggressive than I've seen in the past.
Now that it is over I have to tip my hat to Concordia. That's the best shooting team I've seen in a long time. I don't know who their shooting instructor is but he, or she, probably he, is doing a fantastic job. His jump shot is going to take Hellums a long way. They will pay him good money in the NBA for a shot like that, probably pay him good in college too, lol. That's a nice team. Kudos to the Silsbee Tigers for keeping it respectfully close. Could the full strength Tigers beat them? Maybe. We will probably never know. Good thing is it really doesn't matter.
I have seen Westlake play a few Austin area teams and no team has come close. It looks like Katy Thopkins had a similar result. Not much talk on here other than they are big. I was curious to hear from anyone who was there yesterday how they may stack up against the other elite teams in Houston area. Sounds like they would not be able to keep up with Cy or Concordia.
