Don't
McKinney Lions
<p><strong>McKinney Lions (30-5, 10-2)</strong></p><p>The McKinney Lions have posted an incredible season. After being knocked out of the playoffs in the second round last year, the Lions have been on a mission all season to prove to themselves and any naysayers that they belong playing against the best of the best. Losing only one game in the preseason and two during district play, McKinney has shown that not only are they here to play, but they have a depth on the court that is not easily matched. </p><p>During district play, the Lions took down opponent after opponent in order to finish at the top of their district and enter playoffs strong. In the first round of playoffs, the Lions topped the Coppell Cowboys 55-43 in order to advance. In the second round, the Lions didn't even think twice as they entered the court and put up a physical game against South Grand Prairie. Ja'Kobe Walter put up 20 points and eight rebounds in the big win while Alex Anamekwe and Devin Vincent scored 12 points each. </p><p><strong>What To Expect</strong><br></p><p>A confident Lion squad. The team has been geared up and rolling all season. After any loss posted, the team has learned from, regrouped, and bounced back stronger than ever. Despite facing a nationally ranked team in Richardson, McKinney won't soon back down from the challenge. Fans can expect to see a big game from Walter and company as the Lions do everything in their power to continue advancing to the state title game. </p>
Both teams want this win- there's no doubt about it. However, it's going to come down to who responds better to last week's game. Can Richardson shake off their close game? Will McKinney continue to hold strong with their fire and desire to be the best? The game tips off at 7 p.m. at the Curtis Culwell Center on Tuesday, March 1st.
