UIL Will Not Award Lone Star Cup, Releases Final Standings
AUSTIN, Texas – The University Interscholastic League (UIL) has released standings for the Lone Star Cup through March 13, 2020. Due to the cancellation of UIL spring events, the Lone Star Cup will not be awarded for the 2019-20 school year.
All UIL sanctioned contests were suspended on March 13, 2020, and later cancelled, in an effort to support the health and safety of Texas students and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many activities that earn points toward the UIL Lone Star Cup were not completed. These events included Boys Basketball, Robotics FIRST, Soccer, Academics, One-Act Play, Golf, Tennis, Track & Field, Softball, and Baseball.
The UIL Lone Star Cup recognizes the top high school in each UIL conference based on overall team achievement in sanctioned academic, athletic and music championships. This marks the first year the UIL Lone Star Cup has not been awarded since the program began during the 1997-98 school year.
Below are the Top 25 UIL Lone Star Cup standings for the 2019-20 school year. Standings include: Team Tennis, Cross Country, Marching Band, Volleyball, Robotics BEST, Football, Congress, Spirit, Swimming & Diving, Wrestling, Mariachi, Film, Girls Basketball, Boys Basketball (through March 13, 2020) and Theatrical Design.

Super Tuesday Doesn't Disappoint
It was quite the spectacle on Tuesday night across the DFW hoops landscape as both the 6A and 5A defending state champions needed overtime to extend their respective seasons.
6A Recap
It came down to free throws in No. 1 Duncanville's (29-3) 66-65 victory over No. 9 Grand Prairie (27-3) to advance to the regional semifinals for the second straight year. Grand Prairie led for the majority of three quarters - including a 32-22 halftime lead - but only made six of its 15 free throw attempts in allowing Duncanville to force overtime.
Once there, the teams played relatively even, and with 3.6 seconds left Ja'Bryant Hill sank the go-ahead free throw to give Duncanville the win. The stars came out to play as well, with Micah Peavy recording a double-double with 17 points and 14 boards for Duncanville. Meanwhile, Grand Prairie's Jaylin Posey registered 28 points on the night.
Elsewhere in 6A:
No. 6 Richardson (35-3) blew right past No. 11 Waxahachie 79-58 and will meet No. 17 Odessa Permian (31-3) on Friday after just getting past Arlington Martin 44-43. Arlington Bowie (21-9) advanced to meet Duncanville on Friday after beating Wolfforth Frenship 65-55.

5A Recap
Mansfield Timberview missed a game-winning buzzer-beater at the end of regulation but were able to stymie Mansfield Legacay's offense in overtime on the way to a 41-40 win. No. 16 Timberview (27-8) led by four in the closing moments of overtime, but a 3-pointer by Legacy - it's only points of the extra period - trimmed things to one.
Timberview struggled to put the game away, missing four straight free throws, but Legacy could not get a game-winning shot off before the final buzzer. Timberview will meet No. 17 Wichita Falls Rider on Friday.
Elsewhere in 5A:
