RE-PETE

The Longhorns made a good run at it but fell in the Class 5A semis to Plano West, which will play Southlake Carroll in the final. Carroll is only 23-18 on the season. Talk about getting hot in the postseason.

Barbosa’s Take

I had a conversation with Browsnville Porter coach Tony Barbosa about why Valley athletes are not picked up by D-I schools more offten.

He thinks many kids lack the dedication to work out during the offseason. He said there are few that work at their game constantly but too many athletes don’t care as much as they should.

I agree somewhat. I think the talent pool is not deep enough to really challenge the top athletes in the Valley. But I would like to see more recruits down here.
