I'm truly honored to be recognized among so many talented sportswriters in Region 3 and across the state by the THSCA.

March Madness is nearly here as the NCAA men's and women's tournaments get underway Tuesday-Thursday with First Four games. Three Denton ISD alums are part of tournament teams: Braswell's Alisa Williams, and Guyer's Tyler McGhie and JaKobe Coles. Story: dentonrc.com/sports/high_sc…

Commentary: The Ryan girls and Guyer boys teams helped deliver not only Denton ISD's most successful basketball season ever, but one of the best years of hoops for any school district in UIL history. My column: dentonrc.com/sports/high_sc…

Back in San Antonio for today's 6A Division II boys hoops state championship game. No. 11 Denton Guyer (33-7) is set to take on No. 10 Katy Jordan (35-3) in a clash between two first-time qualifiers to the game. Updates below at 5 for @sports_drc!

Behind a dominant third quarter, Guyer routed The Woodlands College Park 68-44 and advanced to the first state championship game in program history. The Wildcats didn't allow a point for the first 5:50 of the third period to pull out of reach. Story: dentonrc.com/sports/high_sc…

Final No. 11 Guyer 68, The Woodlands College Park 44 The Wildcats have punched their ticket to the first state championship game in program history. Guyer will face No. 9 Katy Jordan (35-3) in the 6A DII state title game at 5 p.m. Saturday in San Antonio.

Behind a dominant defensive performance, Ryan punched its ticket to the program's first-ever state semifinal. Ryan allowed just 11 second-half points to beat No. 3 Amarillo Tascosa 38-28 and win Denton ISD's 1st girls hoops regional championship. Story: dentonrc.com/sports/high_sc…

Final Ryan 38, No. 3 Amarillo Tascosa 28 The Lady Raiders are headed to their first state semifinal in program history after dominating the fourth quarter 16-6. I believe they're the first-ever Denton ISD girls basketball team to win a regional championship.

Our annual @DentonRC All-Area Football Team is out now. Always an honor to recognize many of the bevy of talented players across northern Denton County. Thanks to all the coaches who helped make this team and our coverage throughout the year possible.

Lewisville ISD board members voted Monday night to close five of its elementary schools, a cost-saving measure officials say the district needs as student enrollment continues to decline and state funding for schools is uncertain. dentonrc.com/education/in-a…
