SUMMARY: Is this a great field or what, defending champion Lucas Lovejoy, Wimberley, Monahans and Caldwell have combined to win nine of the last 13 Class 3A titles and if you throw in Bellville it covers every 3A title since 1995. Lovejoy is the odds on favorite but with a field like this, it’s wide open.
Should win: Lucas Lovejoy
Don’t be surprised if they win: Wimberley
Good enough to win: Caldwell and Monahans.
Surprised not to be at state: Columbus |

SUMMARY: The big surprise came in Region 4 as Robin Gerlich has guided the Seguin Lady Matadors into the state tournament for the first time. Actually Gerlich was plowing new fields after the Matadors beat Hutto in regional quarterfinals. Richardson Pearce and Canyon Randall have been eyeing a potential block buster match all year while Brenham is a superb ball handling bunch.
Should win: Richardson Pearce
Don’t be surprised if they win: Canyon Randall
Good enough to win: Brenham
Good, but it would really be an upset if they win: Seguin
Surprised not to be at state: Lake Travis. |
