The game of the season so far, and maybe the best game statewide for this week, happens in Woodrow tonight when Cooper hosts Shallowater in a battle of top five teams.
The Lady Pirates (23-2, 3-0 in District 2-3A), ranked No. 2 in Class 3A by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches, and Fillies (21-2, 3-0), ranked No. 4, will both be looking to take control of the district race with just over three weeks left in the regular season.
Both teams are getting key contributions from several players. Senior guard Katy Boren and senior center Bridget Rampy consistently average in double figures in scoring for Cooper, while Shallowater has three players averaging 8.5 points or more per game, led by senior center Allison Maldonado.
Elsewhere, Plainview head coach Danny Wrenn goes for career win No. 600 when he pits his Lady Bulldogs against Lubbock High in a District 4-4A clash at Westerner Arena.
No. 6 Coronado (27-1, 10-0) tries to keep its District 2-5A record in tact with a road game at Tascosa, while Monterey is at Hereford and Frenship travels to San Angelo to face Lake View to round out District 4-4A.
Also, Estacado is also on the road at Andrews. The Lady Mats enter the week ranked No. 15 in the state at 17-7 and one game behind Shallowater and Cooper in the 2-3A chase.
Rounding out the schedule, Roosevelt hosts Childress, Crosbyton is at New Deal, Trinity Christian hosts Midland Christian and Lubbock Christian hosts Midland Classical.
Both Trinity squads enter the week ranked, the Lady Lions at No. 3 in the large school classification and the boys at No. 19. Other area ranked teams include the Idalou (No. 12-2A), Plains (No. 3-1A, Division I), Smyer (No. 6-1A, Division I) and Whitharral (No. 3-1A, Division II) girls teams, and the Idalou (No. 6-2A), Denver City (No. 14-2A), Hale Center (No. 13-1A, Division I), Borden County (No. 18-1A, Division II), Whitharral (No. 20-1A, Division II) and Lubbock Christian (No. 21-Small Private School) boys teams.
