Weekend Wrap-Up: Texas Longhorns Head to the Big 12 Championship with a Win, Lake Ridge Three Overtime Game, Dallas Mavericks Reach .500 Record on the Season.

It was an exciting sports weekend in the Lone Star State. The Texas Longhorns (9-3) went against Kansas (3-9) before heading to their first Big 12 Championship game since 2009. Then Lake Ridge High School (9-2) faced Guyer High School (6-6) in an intensive game and the Dallas Mavericks (9-9) defended home against the Celtics (10-10) without their point guard Dennis Smith Jr. Along with that, away we go:

Suffering at the End Again                                                                                                    No.9 Texas Longhorns (9-3) defeated at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium the No.108 Kansas Jayhawks (3-9), 24-17. Where the Horns were running over the Jayhawks in the first three quarters 21-0, but then they lay back and suffer the consequences of getting scored 17 points in the 4th quarter. Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger had two interceptions in the game and made the team have more turnovers than Kansas, but they were able to go on with a victory.
