Texas High School Girls Basketball State Championships: A Weekend of Thrills
This weekend, the Alamodome in San Antonio will be the epicenter of high school girls basketball in Texas as teams from across the state vie for state titles. The tightly packed schedule features a total of 12 championship games, with four games set to take place each day from Thursday to Saturday. This event is not just a showcase of athletic prowess but also a testament to the dedication and hard work of these young athletes.
A Star to Watch: Aaliyah Chavez
Among the players to keep an eye on is Aaliyah Chavez, a standout guard from Monterey High School. Chavez, who is the No. 1 overall prospect in ESPN’s rankings for the class of 2025, has yet to commit to a college but is expected to make an announcement next month. Her presence on the court is a major draw, and her skills and leadership could be key to Monterey’s success in the 5A Division 2 final against Liberty Hill on Saturday at 11 a.m.
