Clear Lake Falconhoops

In the final meeting of the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches for the 2006 - 2007 season, the association selected Clear Lake Head Coach Lynn McDonald as the 5A Outstanding Coach of the Year in Texas. With a narrow 8 point loss to rival powerhouse Kingwood in the regional finals, Clear Lake's final ranking in the state was 6th. Not bad for a team unranked statewide until the final month of the season. With Lake's post man at only 6'5", many underestimated the skill and tenacity of the Falcon squad.

By the way, eight points was the narrowest margin of victory for Kingwood in any of their playoff games leading to the state tournament and was the fourth closest score of any Kingwood victory of the season. Imagine how close it might have been if Clear Lake's big man, Jimmy Witten, had not gotten his front tooth knocked out in the first 40 seconds of the game.

Clear Lake's team ranked first in the state in three point baskets and free throws and had the highest free throw  percentage shooter (Armie Lewis) and the leading three point shooter (Kendrell Thompson) in the state.
