Shout Out

It's tournament time. I'd like to give a shout out to a couple of high school teams of interest to this blog.

The girls basketball team from my alma mater, Tecumseh High School in Oklahoma, qualified for the Class 4A state tournament, beginning Thursday in Oklahoma City. It is the first trip to state for the Lady Savages since winning a state championship in 1993.

At home, the Kingwood Mustangs boys basketball team qualified for their third consecutive Class 5A state tournament, beginning Friday in Austin. The Mustangs are 38-2, with both losses coming to out-of-state teams during a holiday tournament. They are currently ranked 14th in the nation according to USA Today. Kingwood lost in overtime to Plano in last year's state championship game, and won the 2005 state championship. KHS is the alma mater of my wife.

Congratulations are in order to both teams. Good luck!
