  Dobie sophomore Christian Sanders scored 20 points for the third game in a row, but it wasn't enough to prevent the Longhorn boys from falling to Atascocita in the Texas Invitational's Division 2 Silver title game on Saturday night.
  The Eagles took advantage of 14 Dobie turnovers to claim a 45-40 victory at the Sam Rayburn gym.
  The loss in the Division 2 Silver title game was the second in a row for a Pasadena ISD school. South Houston fell in the Silver championship contest last year to Manvel. The Trojans, however, went on to win the District 22-5A title.
  The Longhorns played the game without senior guard Devonte Banks, who suffered an injured thumb earlier in the tournament.
  Straped for scorers, Dobie closed a 16-7 gap at the end of the first quarter as Sanders picked up the pace. The Longhorns trailed by just a 24-23 margin at halftime, but lost control of the ball again in the third quarter.
  The Eagles build a safe lead late in the game with the help of a three-pointer by Nolan Bilbo and timely put-back by William House.
  Alex Douglas led Atascocita with 12 points. Bilbo added 10.
  The Trojans were trying to become the first Pasadena ISD team in seven years to win a title outside of the bronze division.
  District schools managed one bronze title on Saturday when the Memorial girls beat Dickinson 35-34. The Lady Mavericks went 4-1 in the tournament.

Dickinson beat Sam Rayburn 56-46 in the semifinals.
  The South Houston girls fell to La Porte in their bid to reach the Division 2 Silver title game.
  The boys teams from Memorial, Sam Rayburn and South Houston all played in the Division 2 Bronze semifinals. The Mavericks beat the Texans 57-53, but lost to Sharyland, 47-41, in the title game.
  Sharyland ousted the Trojans in the semifinals, 61-56. Sam Rayburn turned around and beat South Houston, 66-54, in the third-place game.
