The Lufkin SQT had it all including some overtime
thrillers, tremendous plays and of course a rain delay! After the first round of
pool games finished a storm hit the Lufkin High School campus and delayed the
tournament for about an hour but then it was right back to the action!
Pool A: Klein continued their 7on7 dominance as
they went 3-0 yet again in pool play but could not advance due to the fact that
they have already qualified. Lufkin was next in line as they went 2-1 in pool
play with their only loss to Klein. Houston Chavez went 1-2 and New Caney had a
rough day at 0-3.

Pool B: Klein Collins went 3-0 in pool play for
the second straight weekend and came away as pool winners. Diboll came out on

Lumberton battled all day but fell short at 0-3.
