COLLEGE

Texas A&M trailed before the opening tip at Florida, a scenario neither coach had experienced or even knew was possible before Wednesday night. Then, shortly after leaving the court following final warmups, the Aggies realized managers had left their game jerseys at the team hotel. So they double-timed it back to grab them, but officials hit them with a delay of game penalty, officially deemed an administrative technical foul, because they had to postpone the start a few minutes.

HIGH SCHOOL

After penetrating the top ten in the rankings, the Tigers wasted no time solidifying their ten ranking in the state with a convincing 20+ victory over district opponent Hallsville. The win over the Bobcats pushed Mount Pleasant to a 2-0 record in the district. Their overall record remains unblemished at 21-0. The Tigers travel to Texas High with three games on the slate beginning at 5:00 pm Friday.

The Sulphur Springs Wildcats come in at No. 9. Sulphur Springs is 18-5, winning on average by a score of 65-49. Keeping with that theme, the Wildcats are a perfect 13-0 this season when scoring 60 or more points. The No. 9 Wildcats travel to No. 24 Anna Friday.
