Each of the four series stops follows a round-robin format, and each game affords season standings points that will decide final ranking into the state championship. Therefore, there’s isn’t a final victor named at the end of each series tournament.
That said, reigning state champion Plano was the most successful team on Saturday. Plano won all of its four matches by a combined 122-20. Kingwood, the 2016 runner-up, gave Plano its best match, dropping a 15-10 decision. See below for the full list of scores.
The tournament also saw the new social division in motion. The Eagle Mountain/Katy team has been the team to beat, going 6-0 after two tournaments, while Lamar 2 and Kingwood 2 sport identical records. See full standings below.
The season will continue on March 18 (Kingwood) and April 1 (Dallas), followed by the state championship.
