What do you get when you have a flurry of basketball tournaments all over the area, you get a lot of match ups between the Top Area Teams.
In the after math of this weekend, did anything clear up? You had every top team in the area losing at least one game this past week.
State Ranked Amarillo came down ftp the Alamo City and beat MacArthur, O'Connor, Brennan and Johnson to win the Tournament Championship. That was quite an accomplishment, reminiscent of what CC Carroll did a few weeks ago beating a line of San Antonio Teams in the Corpus Tournament.
Schertz Clemens lost in Championship game to State Top Ranked Private School Liberty Christian which also beat Clark, the last undefeated team in the large Classification in San Antonio.
A couple of observations looking at the TABC Hoops page, Clark moves to #13. San Marcos moves in at #22 in 5A. Devine and Hondo are both in the Top 10 in 4A.

The action heats up today with a lot of great action around the city.
Games of interest Tuesday 12-9-14
5pm Wagner vs Stevens (Paul Taylor) Very interesting match up. This could be a very high scoring game. Some of the areas top scorers in action.
6pm Clemens vs Brandeis (O'Connor) Can Brandeis get a big win against their former coach? Clemens looking to bounce back after 2nd loss of the season. How about Gabby Connally vs Kyra Lambert matching up.
6pm IWHS vs Johnson (Littleton) Two of the best 2018's in Johnson's D. Caldwell and IWHS's Sophia Ramos in action. They both can light it up in a hurry.
7pm Brennan at Steele. How many teams can play Brennan's grueling schedule and still be up for the challenge.
730pm Reagan vs O'Connor This could be the days best game. A lot of talent on the court.
