Texas Hoops 4a Rankings

[Cooley]

by Mike Kunstadt/Sam Lowe

South Oak Cliff, Golden Bears, SOC..however you say it, it still adds up to 3 straight state championships. So filling the top spot in the Texas Hoops 4A Pre-Season team rankings was a rather easy task. The list of usual suspects will be nipping at their heals as the season starts with traditional Fort Worth powerhouse Dunbar loaded and ready and the scrappy group from Highland Park eager to avenge the regional tournament loss to Coach Mays' Golden Bears.

The Pflugerville Connally stud is Chase Harper 6'5" 220lbs. Outstanding WR /DE as well as one of the best BB players in the state.
