All intense, highly important and occasionally dramatic games, to be sure, but games that more or less restored the status quo to what we’d laid out back in August.
The 5A clubs, on the other hand, flipped the field. Liberty Hill battered Bastrop for their 8th straight win and claimed the District 11-5A-2 crown, along with a Top 5 Power Ranking; #9-ranked Weiss upended previously unbeaten #4 Anderson; #16 Cedar Park made all their free throws and drained their 3-pointers to outrun #7 Georgetown 62-50. That set up an “A-over-B; B-over-C; C-over-A” scenario with #14 East View, who split with those two teams. Same with Pflugerville Connally firebombing #18 Pflugerville and McCallum crushing Crockett. They all beat each other up? The heck with it then; they all finish tied in the Rankings.
And so it went all season long. We hope you enjoyed this year’s “means absolutely nothing but it’s fun to argue about” Power Rankings. Now it’s time to settle it on the field.
