BEARS 62, KNIGHTS 43: Appropriately on Senior Knight, the varsity’s Class of 2025 all-star backcourt led the team in scoring. Point guard Emy Chen scored 17 points and shooting guard Miranda DiGiovanni added 13 with five rebounds and a pair of steals. The artificial intelligence bot that writes less than mediocre game stories for MaxPreps observed that Giovanni has had multiple steals in the last five games for the Knights dating back to the Crockett game on Jan. 22.

The Knights lost the game to Bastrop, 62-43. With the win, the Bears swept the season series between the two teams. In truth, the outcome did not affect the course of the season that much as both the Bears (12-2) and Knights (8-6) had already locked in their playoff plans before the opening tip.

Under the convoluted new playoff system, two teams from each district head to the two 5A playoff brackets based on the relative size of their student body. Bastrop finished second in the standing and secured a No. 1 seed in the Division 2 playoffs because Bastrop is smaller than district champ Anderson and McCallum. LASA, which finished third in the district, earned the No. 2 seed from the district in the Division 2 tournament bracket, and the Knights, who finished fourth, earned the No. 2 seed from the district in the Division 1 bracket.

Under the previous system or the current system, the Knights’ playoff opponent would have been the same—District 23-5A champion Georgetown. The Eagles went undefeated in district play and have won 14 of their last 15 games. They are favorites to be sure, but if favorites won all the time, we would not play the games, and this one is going down at 7 p.m. this evening at Westwood High School.
