When you’re hot, you’re hot. The Longhorns did what McAllen High couldn’t do, beat San Antonio Reagan twice in their best-of-three series to advance to the state tournament next week in Austin.
Reagan was the No. 5 team in the country. I doubt United was on anyone’s national radar.
The funny thing is that I don’t think the Longhorns were better than Sharyland, the team they beat in the regional quarters. I don’t think they were better than their regional semis opponent, Austin Westlake. On paper, the Longhorns were definitley not better than Reagan.
United got hot at the right time and was the better team when it mattered the most.
