After some initial struggles in District 7-5A, the Southlake Carroll boys basketball team is hitting its stride just when they needed to. Entering last Friday's game against Denton Guyer, they had won their last two games after dropping the first two in the district.
Even with that 2-2 district mark, the Dragons still find themselves in the postseason hunt, as they are in a three-way tie for fourth place.
"We would have preferred to not start 0-2, but we've got a chance to go and take care of business on Friday, to put ourselves in a good position for the second round of district," head coach Jon Youngblood said. "The last few games have been really good for our guys' confidence."
Another confidence builder could be the Dragons' busting out of their doldrums in a big way, as they entered their last game against Saginaw averaging 36.7 points per game in the district. They scored 90 on the Rough Riders on senior night for the Dragons.
