The Vikes will open pool play on Field 4 at Veteran's Park in College Station next Friday July 8th at 1:00 pm. The schedule is:
1:00 pm LAMAR vs RR Vista Ridge
3:00 pm LAMAR vs. El Paso Eastlake
5:00 pm LAMAR vs. Richmond
This is a very good pool and we will have to play at our best to advance to the Championship Bracket Play on Saturday.
A couple of interesting items to note-of the 13 state qualifying games we played this summer, 6 were against teams that eventually qualified for the State Tournament. We beat all 6 teams by an average margin (15 points) which is the same margin of victory in all 13 of our wins. That is a good sign that we "do not play up or down to our competition" but concentrate on playing to our ability. Over the last 4 years the average points per game by the eventual state champions was 41 ppg while allowing about 22 points per game. We are slightly under the 41 ppg offensively but right on the 22 ppg allowed as defensive team. The message to our kids is that we need to continue "doing what we do" and good things could happen. There is a copy of the team itinerary attached under the PDF heading on the home page-follow along as we journey through our 19th consecutive state tournament!
