Highland Park open with a convincing victory: The Lady Scots are a team that no one is talking about in the top half of the 5A Region II bracket as they cruised to a 75-18 victory over Dallas Samuell.

Brownsville Jubilee continue to impress: In their first year in UIL play, the Lady Vikings of Brownsville Jubilee continue to impress with each game as they topped San Diego, 63-32, to advance to the weekend. This is a roster with no seniors and is junior laden and will be a 3A Region IV threat for seasons to come.
