Dallas Sunset’s baseball season is shaping up to be one that has been 18 years in the making.

Sunset (13-10, 5-4 in District 9-5A) is enjoying its first winning season since 2005. With five games remaining, Sunset also sits in fourth place in district, owns the tiebreaker over Richardson and is staring at its first playoff appearance since 1994.

What has accounted for the turnaround from a 9-18 season in 2011?

Coach Dorman Pryor believes it’s the leadership of his seniors, who from the beginning bought into a program that needed to be rebuilt.

“We’ve had some kids that have been committed to the program,” Pryor said. “I’ve got three seniors that have totally committed and do a great job, and it filters down.”

On the diamond, Pryor is one of the few coaches who have seen an advantage in the first season of “deader” BBCOR bats.

His program has traditionally been based on a small-ball philosophy, keying in on his team’s lack of size. Now, he can use the majority of his lineup to bunt for hits or move runners over with years of experience under his players' belts. Combine that manufacturing with a few scrappy singles hitters and the outcome is a winning record.

“We don’t have any power but we have a lot of kids that can hit the baseball,” Pryor said. “We’ve got what we call the midget mafia -- a ton of kids that are barely 5-foot-2 and they are leading the team in hitting and RBIs.”

The road to the playoffs is still an uphill climb for Sunset, which must again face Lake Highlands, W.T. White and Jesuit. All have beaten Sunset the first time around this year.

“There’s a whole lot of baseball left,” Pryor said. “We’re just praying it works out in our favor.”

Coppell, Lake Highlands have new managers

Two traditionally strong baseball programs, Coppell and Lake Highlands, have new faces trading lineups before games.

Coppell is in the hunt for one of the last two playoff positions under Kendall Clark as district play begins to wind down, hoping to avenge an area-round in 2011.

The Cowboys sit in a three-way District 7-4A tie at 6-4 with Keller and Denton Guyer.

At Lake Highlands, Cory Tucker came into the season with big shoes to fill in replacing the legendary Jay Higgins, who had a 44-year career with the Wildcats.

So far, Tucker has the Wildcats in second place in District 9-5A with a 14-9 overall record.

Lake Highlands' only district losses came against W.T White, whom the Wildcats have also beaten this season, and district-leading Dallas Jesuit. The Wildcats will face Jesuit again Tuesday.

Coppell's Nick Jordan might not have any time to watch and learn during his freshman year at Texas.

With the kickers the Longhorns have on campus struggling this spring, the job could be Jordan's for the taking.

HornsNation's Carter Strickland took a look at the Texas kicking situation Wednesday. Here's an excerpt about Jordan.

Jordan has the credentials. He was considered one of the top five kickers in the country, played in the U.S. Army All-American game and missed only five field goals in high school.

“We saw him kick out on a 60-plus-yard field goal, and he pulled it a little bit left,” Brown said. “But so we have seen him with a very strong leg.”

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas -- Mansfield Timberview hero Cornelius Hudson received an uncomfortable-looking celebratory ride around Amos Turner Gymnasium on the shoulder of teammate Jonathan Tate.

But Hudson, a 6-foot-3 junior, was much too happy to complain.

His 3-pointer from the left wing with five seconds remaining propelled Mansfield Timberview to a 53-51 victory over Coppell in a Class 5A Region I area playoff Friday night at Grand Prairie High.

Timberview (21-14), the fourth seed from District 5-5A, advances to a regional quarterfinal against defending state champion Flower Mound Marcus, a 65-37 winner over Duncanville on Friday.

“I felt it was going in as soon as I let it go,’’ Hudson said. “I practice shooting that shot every day.’’

For a final OK to launch, Hudson said he heard teammate Brandon Pye “hollering my name.’’

Pye, Timberview’s leading scorer this season, was limited to six points by Coppell’s blanketing defense, 10 points under his average. But Hudson in the second half and junior guard Chris Owens in the first half more than picked up the slack, combining for four 3-pointers apiece.

Timberview trailed 51-50 after Coppell’s talented post Jett Raines converted a pair of free throws with 32 seconds remaining. With 20 seconds to go, Timberview coach Duane Gregory called a timeout to discuss last-shot strategy.

“We had four guys on the floor that I would have been comfortable taking the last shot and Cornelius was one of the four,’’ Gregory said.

Said Coppell coach Brad Chasteen: “It was a great shot. I would have settled for him taking that shot in that situation. The game was on the line and it was on the end of the floor where he is shooting into the crowd. We didn’t just give it to him. We had someone challenging him. Our thought was we didn’t want Pye to shoot it.’’

Coppell (25-9) used the final five seconds to get a good look at a potential 3-point winner of its own, but Martin Kalev’s attempt from the left corner was a little too strong off the back rim.

Hudson, scoreless in the first half, finished with 16 points. He credited an intermission pep talk from teammates for his turnaround.

“The whole team told me to keep shooting,’’ said Hudson. “I just love those guys. We’re all like brothers.’’

Owens, a 6-foot junior, scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half.

Coppell’s Raines, a 6-foot-8 senior, went 9-of-12 from the floor and led all scorers with 24 points and added nine rebounds.

Coppell went on a 11-point run to open a 39-30 lead five minutes into the second half, thanks to an 11-point quarter by 6-foot-7 senior Austin Mankin.

Hudson scored eight points in the final two minutes of the third quarter, including a long 3-pointer at the buzzer, to cut the Coppell lead to three points going into the final eight minutes.

There were five lead changes in the fourth quarter. After being out-rebounded 16-13 in the first three quarters, Timberview owned a 9-2 edge in the final period, leading to a pair of second-chance baskets.

“We had some rebounds go out of our hands,’’ Chasteen said.

Mansfield Timberview provided the area's biggest opening-round surprise of the Class 5A boys basketball playoffs by stunning Richland, 60-44, Tuesday night at Arlington High.

Richland, the District 6-5A champion, entered the playoffs with a 28-3 record and a No. 3 ranking in ESPN Dallas Class 5A Top 10.

“The key for us was our ability to handle Richland’s pressure,’’ Timberview coach Duane Gregory said Wednesday. “When we do three things, defend, block out and play at our tempo, we are a good basketball team.’’

Seasoned in a district that included South Grand Prairie, Duncanville and Cedar Hill, all bi-district winners Tuesday, Timberview (20-14) entered the playoff as the fourth-place seed from 5-5A.

The Wolves broke open a close game by outscoring Richland by 13 points in the fourth quarter.

Brandon Pye, a 6-footo-1 senior point guard averaging 16 points a game, riddled Richland by scoring 26.

“Brandon is our first four-year starter and when you consider what was on the line, that had to be one of his biggest games,’’ Gregory said.

Timberview, which has alternated between Class 4A and 5A since opening in 2004, is in the playoffs for the sixth time in its eight seasons. In 2009, Timberview reached the state tournament, falling victim to eventual Class 4A state champion Houston Yates in the semifinals.

The Wolves will meet Coppell (25-8) in an area-round playoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday at Grand Prairie High’s Amos Turner Gymnasium. Coppell got past Allen 43-41 in overtime in a bi-district game Tuesday night.

COPPELL, Texas -- Keller Central has never been mistaken for a school with dominant athletics programs.

The young school's accomplishments have been few and far between, but after the 2011-12 school year, the Chargers may be hanging more than their fair share of banners.

On the heels of the football team's first playoff berth in school history, the boys basketball team has put together not just a good year, but a great year.

The highlight of that year may have occurred Tuesday when the Chargers clinched the District 7-5A title with a 43-41 win over rival Coppell, and they did it on Coppell's home court.

"It's surreal," said Central head coach Kit Pehl of clinching district. "To get it done tonight on their floor is a big deal to us. Coppell to us is a measuring stick. To do it at their place, we're ecstatic."

To clinch its district title, Central (25-7, 11-1 in 7-5A) had to survive a game between two smash-mouth, half-court teams, as Pehl put it.

The Cowboys (22-8, 8-4 in 7-5A) held a lead for much of the second quarter but coughed it up when Central guard Zach Sanchez hit a 3-pointer late in third quarter to put the Chargers ahead, 35-33, going into the fourth.

The two teams stared each other down for the final eight minutes before missed free throws by Central and a bucket by point guard Warren Oishi put Coppell within striking distance.

On the final possession of the game, Coppell dished it to big man Jeff Raines inside, but his shot went wide of the net to give Central the win.

"It was a scramble," said Central forward Joel Bolomboy of the last play of the game. "We had to step up on defense. Everybody was crazy and scrambling, but we ended up getting it done."

In the anticipated matchup between two of the area's 5A leading scorers among forwards, Raines scored eight and Bolomboy had 10.

"They kind of negated each other," Pehl said.

Coppell, always one of the toughest defensive teams in the area under coach Brad Chasteen, also limited Central's other two stars -- point guard Warren Sledge (five points) and Joel Engulu (four points).

Central guard J.R. Rogers ended up filling the void, scoring a team-high 12 points.

"He was huge tonight," Pehl said. "He made tons of big shots. If there was an X-factor tonight, it was J.R. Rogers without question."

Just as it was the entire game, the two teams fought to a standstill in the first half as no team held a lead of more than the six Coppell led by briefly in the second quarter.

With its array of defensive looks, Coppell ran man defense after running nothing but zone in its first meeting with Central -- a 54-49 Chargers win. That allowed Central to employ the motion offense it's most comfortable with, but Coppell's physicality still limited the Chargers.

They finally broke through with a 7-0 run that began in the third quarter and ended in the fourth. It gave Central the lead to set up Coppell's final possession.

"I figured it would come down to a defensive stand and sure enough that's what happened," Pehl said.

Two area quarterbacks will compete for playing time against each other after signing with UTEP on Wednesday.

Coppell's Jake Larson and The Colony's Garrett Simpson inked letters of intent to play for the Miners, but their senior seasons couldn't have gone much differently.

In his third season as The Colony's starter, Simpson was among the area's leading passers through the first three games before finishing with 1,886 yards and 14 touchdowns on the year.

Larson wasn't as lucky. Playing in his first year as a starter, Larson tore his ACL midway through the year and didn't play another down.

The quarterbacks join Rowlett linebacker Chester Egbim as Miner signees.

Coppell had three other players sign. Offensive lineman Sam Rice signed with SMU after decommitting from North Texas, where DB David Busby signed. Kicker Nick Jordan signed with Texas.

The Colony had one other player sign with an FBS school -- receiver Gerald Thomas, who capped his stellar high school career by signing with Colorado.

Recruits in SMU's signing class range from California to Michigan to Florida, but the Mustangs didn't completely ignore their home territory.

Of the 20 players who signed with SMU on Wednesday, six are from the Metroplex.

That list includes a pair of Everman defenders, LB Lincoln Richard and DB Horace Richardson.

The other locals heading to the Hilltop are Frisco Heritage DL Elie Nabushosi, Garland LB Damien Neroes, Coppell OL Sam Rice and Dallas Lake Highlands OL Chase Walling.

With national signing day coming up next week, there's been plenty of recent recruiting news

If you have ESPN.com Insider access, the best place for updates about area football recruits is Damon Sayles' Midlands Region blog.

Here is some of the latest news from Sayles about local players:

• Garland quarterback Seth Russell switched his commitment from Kansas to Baylor.
• Coppell quarterback Jake Larson committed to UTEP. A season-ending knee injury as a senior impacted Larson's recruitment.
• Aledo offensive lineman Michael Wilson changed his commitment from Texas A&M to Oklahoma State.
• South Oak Cliff running back Paul Franklin committed to Utah State.
• Two Dallas Skyline players, offensive lineman Marlon Brown and receiver Marcus Darden, committed to Grambling.

McKinney Boyd’s girls soccer team, ranked No. 1 in the ESPNHS Fab 50, has already begun its 2012 campaign after winning its second state title in four years last season.

With the players who return, Boyd remains a frontrunner to bring another state title back to North Texas.

The biggest change for Boyd this year is on the sidelines.

After one of North Texas’ most successful coaches, Jimmie Langford, resigned from Boyd to take a job coaching a boys team in Colorado, the reigns of the defending champs were given to Michele Estes.

The transition might not be as difficult as it sounds. Estes simply moved into the head coaching role after spending years as an assistant coach under Langford.

Not much strategically has changed in Boyd’s play under Estes, but it’s intangibles that the new coach emphasizes to her players.

“She’s brought a more competitive atmosphere,” senior striker Amanda Elertson said. “She’s trying to ignite the team more. We’ve lost players from last year, so we need to find a chemistry this year that will make us as successful as last year.”

Before practices and games, Boyd breaks out to the cheer “We are one” to put teamwork and team chemistry in the front of the players' minds as they move through the season, preparing for another playoff run.

It’s that personal connection with the team that Elerton values in Estes, which in turn is what Estes wants to spread amongst the team.

“She knows your personality,” Elertson said. “If you’re struggling, she knows what’s best to help pick you up and get you going, and I think it’s really good to have a coach that knows you.”

Elertson is one of many Boyd players who participates year-round by playing club soccer outside of the school team. Estes believes this creates a business-like attitude that prevents true chemistry from forming. Estes hopes she can create a more personal connection amongst the Boyd team, which is something the players rarely have the opportunity to form on club squads.

Boyd will have another tough road to state again this year with five North Texas girls teams ranked in the top 10 in the Fab 50 as of Jan. 8.

The 5A state runner-up, Colleyville Heritage, ranks No. 3 in the nation in the Week 6 poll, behind Coppell. Ursuline Academy ranks No. 4 as it looks to continue its dynasty in the state’s private school ranks.

North Texas has the chance to make a strong push on the boys side, as well, with the efforts being led by defending 5A state champion Southlake Carroll. Carroll entered the 2012 season with a 31-match undefeated streak that is the second longest active streak in the nation.

The surprise team to watch for is Hebron, which is ranked No. 12 in the nation as of Jan. 8, just one spot ahead of district rival Allen at No. 13.

The perennial powerhouse, Frisco Wakeland, comes in at No. 14, looking to sandwich a girls state title last season with a boys title in 2010.

But 2012 has the chance to be the season of Boyd in soccer, with a boys team that ranks No. 9 in the Fab 50, competing with the girls side for the higher national ranking when all is said and done.

The girls, of course, are winning the battle so far, and have the will and drive to repeat last season’s success.

“Everone on this team is competitive and everyone wants to win,” Elertson said. “They have that drive and desire, and I think we can be as successful.”

HALTOM CITY, Texas -- DeSoto proved Wednesday that its athleticism alone makes it one of the top teams in the state and possibly the country.

ESPN Fab 50 No. 33 DeSoto blew out state-ranked Coppell 77-39 on lockdown defensive play in the opening round of the Whataburger Basketball Tournament.

DeSoto held Coppell to just five points in the first quarter and 18 points in the first half. Coppell never seemed comfortable against DeSoto’s double-team trap, resulting in an exorbitant amount of first-half turnovers.

Austin Mankin finished with 10 points and was the only Cowboy to tally double-digit points in the game. Coppell slashing forward Jett Raines was held to just eight points.

“We were faster, stronger and quicker,” DeSoto guard and Duke commit Mat Jones said. “Our work in the weight room in the offseason showed tonight.”

Jones opened DeSoto’s dominating performance with two 3-pointers in the first frame and led all scorers with 22 points, most of which came in the third quarter.

DeSoto’s offense was never selfish, working the ball around the perimeter and inside at a level that would make even Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski proud.

“I love playing with these guys,” Jones said. “Of course I think about what it’s going to play about Duke and it does resemble the type of offense they run.”

Years of work building chemistry within the team creates such a well-oiled, selfless machine, Jones said.

“We don’t care who scores,” Jones said. “If you have confidence to do what you need to do, then you can have it.”

DeSoto advances in the winners bracket to play Plano West on Thursday at 12:30 p.m.

The win gives DeSoto the chance to come away with a tournament championship, but it also gives the Eagles a chance to prove to the area that they shouldn’t have to live under the shadow of Flower Mound Marcus and some of the Metroplex’s top-ranked teams.

“Sometimes we’re under the radar -- we tend to get overlooked,” Jones said. “We just try to make a statement one game at a time.”

Game 8: Little Rock Parkview 73, Hurst L.D. Bell 51.

The ESPNHS No. 42 team, Little Rock Parkview, turned out to be quite the unlucky draw for Hurst L.D. Bell in the opening round of the tournament.

Parkview's Anton Beard dropped 17 on the Raiders while Imara Ready and Emmanuel Adoyi both tallied 14 points of their own in the blowout effort.

Bell's Garrett Hammonds managed a team-high 15, hitting Bell's only two 3's of the game.

Bell moves into the consolation bracket to face Houston Klein Forest at 3:30 p.m. Thursday while Parkview will take on North Crowley Thursday at 2 p.m.

Game 7: Flower Mound Marcus 45, Justin Northwest 38.

Game 6: Milwaukee King 67, Duncanville 54.

Rufus King out of Milwaukee proved to be more than Duncanville could handle, holding a lead throughout the course of the game.

King hit six from behind the arch, aiding four players to hit the double digit point mark. Dominique Borom led King's scoring with 16 points.

Duncanville's shot selection was less than optimum and it failed to make the adjustment of penetrating for a higher percentage shot. Duncanville hit six 3-pointers, but two came when the game had been relinquished late in the fourth quarter.

Omar Sherman led Duncanville in points with 14, followed by Brian Hampton with 11. Nine Duncanville players found the scoresheet, but only three contributed more than four points.

Game 5: North Crowley 63, Houston Klein Forest 53.

North Crowley relied on its depth to outlast Klein Forest in its first-round matchup -- a trait not normally common of a Panther team.

Instead of relying on one superstar to carry the team as it has in the past, North Crowley spread its points out between eight players on it's 15 man roster.

Leading the charge was guard Calvin Ward with a game-high 18 points, followed by Taylor Luster with 10. Four other players scored more than five points in the game.

North Crowley built its lead in the first half, outscoring Klein Forest 34-22, which included an 18-point first quarter. Ward was responsible for 10 of those points in the opening frame.

Klein Forest won the battle of the second half by two points, but it wasn't nearly enough to challenge North Crowley for the lead.

Game 4: No. 33 DeSoto 77, Coppell 39.

Game 3: Richland 64, Garland Naaman Forest 58.

Junior wing Leyton Hammonds tore through the Naaman Forest defense to score 22 points and lead his team into the winners bracket of the Whataburger Tournament.

Hammonds hot hand drew the attention of the Naaman Forest defense, making him a useful decoy in Richand's press break in the second half. The majority of Richland's fourth quarter points came on fast break layups out of the break.

The game was won in the third quarter when Richland was able to double up on Naaman Forest 19-8.

Naaman Forest's Demarcus Holland led his squad in scoring with 21 points. Texas commit Price Ibeh was held in check with just 7 points in the game, the final two on a huge dunk in the fourth quarter.

Game 2: Richardson Berkner 73, Arlington Martin 60

After a hot Berkner start in the first half, including several basket-shaking dunks, Martin made a strong push in the second half, but couldn't overcome a very talented Berkner squad.

Berkner junior forward Kendal Harris led his team in scoring with 21-points, tying Martin's Myles Johnson for the game high.

Berkner dominated the glass, with the vast majority of its points coming inside the paint.

Martin football All-American Devonte Fields was the basketball team's force inside, tallying 13 points of his own.

Game 1: Plano West 70, Fort Worth Arlington Heights 60 (3OT)

It took two desperation 3's from Fort Worth Arlington Heights to push the game into overtime and then a second overtime, but Plano West capitalized on turnovers in the third extra frame to put away the Yellowjackets.

Height's Travis Williams received a dish off a rebound with seconds remaining in regulation and drilled a 3-pointer to give his team extra life in overtime. The game then seemed out of reach a gain as the clock ticked away in the first overtime period, but Hight's Marshall Calvin swished a circus shot from behind the arch to force a third overtime.

In the end, West's defense was too much for Heights to handle after three extra periods of basketball, especially when Heights only had five players put up points in the game.

West struggled through regulation to contain Heights small but elusive point guard Harrison Wagner who slashed through the lane for a game-high 31 points.

Plano West's point production was split between forwards T.J. Cline and Holt Harmon, who dominated the post game for 19 points a piece.

In the first edition of the event that would become know as the Whataburger Basketball Tournament, Fort Worth Arlington Heights was defeated by Bowie, 70-53, in the championship match.

Fifty-four tournaments later, Arlington Heights returns looking to claim a title in what has become the area’s premiere holiday showcase.

A trip to the championship game will be a tall task for any team invited to the Boys Orange Bracket of the tournament at Birdville’s W.G. Thomas Coliseum, which includes two nationally ranked and eight state ranked teams in the field of 16.

Games begin Wednesday morning and continue through the winner’s bracket championship Friday at 8:15 p.m.

ESPNHS Fab 50 No. 11 Flower Mound Marcus headlines the tournament, followed by No. 39 DeSoto.

Two of the nation's top recruits are featured on these two squads, No. 11 in 2012's Marcus Smart and No. 21 in 2013's Matt Jones. Smart has already signed with Oklahoma State and Jones has a commitment to Duke.

DeSoto has the toughest draw in Wednesday’s opening round, facing Texas Association of Basketball Coaches No. 11 team in the state, Coppell, at 2:30 p.m.

The only other opening-round game that features two ranked teams is TABC No. 16 Garland Naaman Forest and No. 9 Richland at 1 p.m.

Prince Ibeh of Naaman Forest, a Texas commit, is also on the ESPNU Top 100 for the Class of 2012 at No. 79.

Tickets can be purchased at the tournament sites for $6 on Wednesday and $7 on Thursday and Friday. All-tournament passes are also available for $17 for one venue and $28 for all venues.
