THE FINAL FOUR: Boykin and Cy Springs having dream season; the interview
It should be no surprise that Cypress Springs has won back-to-back district titles or is in the State Semifinals this season.
Why?
Coach Larry Boykin carries a coaching lineage that runs through legends — from David Green of Beaumont United to David Martinez of Atascocita to Sam Benitez now of Cypress Creek.
Boykin has built a power program at Cypress Springs over the past eight seasons and now sits one step away from the State Finals.
Standing in their way is Little Elm, whom they face Tuesday night.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta talks ball with Coach Boykin on the eve of the program’s biggest game in school history.
MS. VERSATILITY: Lake Creek's Burns can shoot, defend, lead
The versatility of Lake Creek’s Bayley Burns jumps off the game film.
The junior can shoot the lights out from deep, lock down an opponent’s best player, and battle on the boards — a complete two-way threat who impacts every possession.
Averaging nearly 17 points per game, Burns is one of the major keys to the Lions’ success this season.
