5A DIVISION I
Abilene High 84, El Paso Hanks 14
Lubbock Cooper 67, El Paso Parkland 7
Amarillo High 49, El Paso Bel Air 0
Tascosa 50, El Paso Del Valle 25
BEST WIN
We could go a number of directions here, from Tascosa taking down District 1 champ Del Valle on the the road to Lubbock Cooper blasting Parkland, but why not the Eagles?
Abilene High had 70 on the board by halftime in their eventual 70-point win over El Paso Hanks.
Thanks to Brandon McAuliffe for these stats: Abilene High only the had the ball for 7:08 of the first half and the average length of possession was 47.6 seconds. All phases of the game were incredible, and the Eagles should be riding high heading into their area playoff game against Denton Ryan.
