The quest for the District 1-5A girls basketball title has been as close I thought it would be at this point in the season. Bel Air, Coronado and Franklin are all 5-1, El Dorado and Eastwood are 3-3 and Americas is 2-4. Games have been tightly contested and expect this year's race to come down to the end. Bel Air is the defending champion and has been steady all season. Coronado, El Dorado and Franklin are much improved over last year. El Dorado owns a win against Bel Air.
This Friday offers up two intriguing battles between El Dorado and Franklin and Bel Air and Coronado. Next week, El Dorado and Eastwood do battle, while Franklin and Coronado face off. Should be an interesting next month as 1-5A tries to figure out the district champion and the four playoff teams.
Mr. Chavez,
You mentioned on your podcast that our local 1-5A is not the most talented players. This is not true. We have many talented players who will be playing for colleges. In fact some of the best players from El Paso competed against 64 teams in Dallas this summer proving they have as much or more talent. You seem to give a lot of praises to 4A teams but very little respect to our 1-5A teams. I believe our top 4 5A teams will do well this year and advance to state playoffs. Perhaps 1-5A parents sure hear your podcast and understand what I am talking about. Please support our girls. If our local sports newspaper doesn't support us then this is very sad. And it does not set well with parents,students and all high school lady basketball fans. So be careful what you say on your podcast and notice that 1-5A has a lot of talented players. All of the districts in this area have talented players but don't disrespect 5A lady basket ball teams in El Paso.
