It wasn't just basketball. The state basketball tournaments offered inspirational slices of life. Consider: • Duncanville wins its third consecutive 5A girls title - a feat never before accomplished -- and dedicate it to coach Sandra Meadows, who battled cancer earlier in the year. • Leta Andrews and Corpus Christi Calallen finally win the big one after 12 attempts. • As always. Nazareth wins. • But Port Arthur Lincoln falls. In one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. Boerne whips the defending champs, 59- 55, in overtime. • Fort Worth Dunbar's final four frustration continues. • Texas prep career scoring leader Troy House of Ingram goes out with a state championship. • And Navasota completes a 35-0 season. The state basketball tournaments were short of neither action, drama and pathos. Played before record crowds -- virtually all of the boys games were sold out and the girls set attendance marks in almost every championship session -- teams saved their best for last.
