Announcement
The Clear Lake Varsity will play in the following three tournaments this season:
Texas Invitational
Probably the best run tournament in several states, the Texas Invitational in Pasadena, Texas is again shaping up as one of the premier tournaments in Texas. To be held the weekend of Nov. 15-17, the tournament will host 48 boys teams and 32 girls teams. The Kingwood Boys, ranked as high as #2 in the state pre-season in some rankings, have won this tournament five years in a row but the Klein Collins Tigers (ranked #1 in the Greater Houston Area) plan to break the Kingwood dominance. The Tigers, ranked as high as #3 in the state in some polls, return 10 players from last year's regional finalist team (Region 2) including all-state Demitri Goodson (Chronicle All Greater Houston first team). Notice Clear Lake faces Klein Collins in the second game of pool play Thursday evening.
