As the saying goes... it's Cy Creek's world, we are just living in it.
The Cougars are making a statement this season and steamrolling everyone with the best guard-play in the state -- maybe the country. Rori Harmon andKyndall Hunter are the most dynamic duo we've seen in girls' basketball in years. Both are headed to Texas to play their college ball.
So, who is the best of the rest?
