The Boy’s Varsity Basketball team is off to a great start. The boys are 8-0 and are receiving some recognition for their play. Led by the Big 3 (Draylyn D, Chandler G, Antonio M), the boys have played their way into the state rankings. The Boys are currently ranked #18 overall (Public and Private) and #1 in TAPPS 4A division by Max Preps. TABC has the boys ranked #8 in Large Private Schools. Coach Harvey and the players accept the rankings, but know they have a lot more work to do. They are prepared to head to San Antonio this weekend and compete in a tournament with some highly ranked competition.
