Normangee upset Schulenburg
What is a night of playoff basketball without any upsets?
The Normangee defense has been pivotal this season and it proved to be a key point as the Lady Panthers closed the game on a 9-1 run.

Tuesday’s key games to watch
Mesquite Horn (23-4, W10) vs. Duncanville (R11); 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, South Oak Cliff
Jasmine Shavers has been the key standout for Horn throughout the season and the ability to make big plays on the big stage is nothing short for the senior. However, Shavers will have her hands full in getting past a tough and perennial power Duncanville side that knows how to perform on the biggest stages, year-in and year-out. Can Mesquite Horn pull off the upset?
Georgetown (24-4, R25) vs. Boerne Champion (22-3, R26); 6 p.m., Tuesday, Buda Hays HS
If you are a defensive-minded basketball fan, this game is for you.
It will be a clash of styles in this game as Georgetown are known for putting in a hard to stop defense that doesn’t allow many points.
Boerne Champion will be looking to run the floor with each possession and foul trouble will be key for the Lady Chargers in hopes of staying clear of any calls against Champion.
Georgetown will look to slow down the tempo with half-court sets.
Which defense comes up big for their respective team?
Rockport-Fulton (23-4, W26) vs. Boerne (21-4, R28); 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, George West
The Lady Pirates are playing very well as of late, carrying a 19-game winning streak heading into this matchup against a tough Boerne team.
Boerne do have ‘the girl,’ in Jamie Ruede and are well-coached. The guard play will look to be aggressive and see more frequent drives in this matchup with 6-2 junior Kaylee Howell being a key part of the Lady Pirate interior defense.
It will be imperative for Howell to stay out of foul trouble as the interior matchup favors Rockport-Fulton.
Guard play will be key in a big matchup in order for both teams to get over the hump.
