Basketball Playoffs, Week of February 11th
The Memorial HS and Stratford HS girl’s basketball
teams advanced to the playoffs and competed in bi-district competition this
past Tuesday at Don Coleman Coliseum. Memorial was defeated by perennial powerhouse,
Bellaire, but stayed with the Cardinals throughout the game, and played one of
their best games of the season according to MHS Varsity girl’s basketball
coach, Jyusef Larry.
The Stratford HS girl’s
basketball team defeated Reagan handily and will advance to the area round of
play. They will match up against Lamar Consolidated at Don Coleman Coliseum on
Friday, February 15th, at 7:00pm as the second game of a
double-header at the facility. The Tomball girls will face Foster at 5:30pm in
the first game. The Spartans are coached by first year head coach, Buffie
Matthews.
If the Stratford girl’s
basketball team beats Lamar Consolidated, they will play the winner of the N.
Forest/Friendswood area round on Tuesday, February 19th, at a
neutral site TBD, most likely. The plans for this round of play are still being
finalized at this time.
The Stratford HS boys have
finished in a tie for fourth place with Tomball, and will play a 22-4A play-off
game on Friday, February 15th, at Cy-Ranch HS, at 7:00pm, to see who
will advance to the playoffs. Should the Spartans win, they will play their
bi-district contest on Tuesday, February 19th, against Wheatley, at
Don Coleman Coliseum, at 7:00pm. The Spartans are coached by head coach, Mitch
Hornsby.
