Class 4A final
Houston Yates 94, Dallas Kimball 78: Just like seven years ago, Kimball's appearance in the state finals ended in tears Saturday. But it was a different feeling as the Knights walked off the court after a 94-78 loss to Houston Yates at the Frank Erwin Center.
In 2002, Kimball got beat by a 50-foot, double-clutch shot that was the definition of lucky. On Saturday, Kimball got beat by a team that could be defined as dominant. Yates has the best press defense I have ever seen....
