Maybe all the high schools do this now but the Dallas ISD schools recognize their graduating seniors during the last or next to last games. They introduce the kids along their parents and disclose their college selections. I remember about 2 years ago, Pinkston recognized Tony Mitchell along with his mother Angie. Though they stated that Tony would be attending Missouri, Angie came on the court in her green UNT attire. Last week 2 SOC players announced that they will be attending UNT in the fall. Xavier Seaton & Dennis Jones. I can see Seaton helping as a walk on. Jones is a very good outside shooter but does not have the height at the college level. SOC finished the regular season as the 6th ranked 4A squad.

Speaking of outside shooting, Clarke Overlander had a pretty good game yesterday in a warmup game against Woodrow Wilson. He strained his back late in the 3rd couldn't come out for the 4th quarter but did manage about 14 points. Argyle is so small that they actually play Overlander down low. He was able to pop out and hit about 3 threes. He can be very valuable in that role.

Do you think he will be able to create his own shooting space at the next level, or purely a spot up shooter?
