VYPE DFW Game of the Week: Boswell v. Frenship GBB (UIL-6A-Region I-D2 Final)
The UIL girls basketball postseason has reached a critical juncture, with the path to the State Tournament on the line.
One of the most anticipated matchups takes place in the Region I-6A-DII Finals, where the Boswell Pioneers will face the Frenship Tigers for a spot in the State Semifinals.
Under the guidance of Coach John Reese, Boswell (36-2) has been a dominant force throughout the season, earning the No. 1 ranking in Texas.
The Pioneers boast an array of talent, led by three standout players: Miami-commit Camille Williams (17 ppg, 8 rpg, 4 apg, 3 spg), Arkansas Fort Smith-commit Haleigh Jackson (14 ppg, 8 rpg, 3 apg), and Sydney Durrah (13 ppg).
However, it’s not just the big three that make Boswell a dangerous opponent. Seleste Massey (12 ppg, 4 rpg, 2 apg) and Salena Carrasco (8 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg) have also played key roles in the team’s success, rounding out a well-balanced roster.
The Pioneers have displayed their dominance in the playoffs with impressive victories over Southlake Carroll (57-26), Eastwood (74-41), and most recently Braswell (52-44).
On the other side, Frenship (31-6) enters the Regional Finals riding high after an undefeated district championship and a strong playoff run.
The Tigers have secured wins over Montwood (46-19), Mansfield Legacy (54-53), and Denton Guyer (71-46), and are determined to keep their Cinderella story alive.
Under Coach Trent Hilliard, Frenship has already exceeded last season’s performance and aims to continue their success in this high-stakes matchup. They will rely on their senior leaders, Addyson Middleton and Kedan Burch, to step up against the powerhouse Boswell squad.
For a chance to advance to the State Semifinals, the Pioneers will face the Tigers this Friday at 6:00 PM at Sweetwater High School.

THE STATUS: VYPE DFW Final Girls Basketball Rankings as playoffs near; Braswell, Argyle climb
It's almost that time of year again.
Now that regular season reaches its closing stages, the stakes are about to increase dramatically as teams across the state prepare to battle it out in the ensuing playoffs.
As it stands, not much has changed in our rankings from just a couple of weeks ago.
Boswell (31-2) has all but sealed a district title, and the same can be said for Duncanville (23-5), and 4A powerhouse Lincoln (30-2).
Denton Guyer (27-3) and Braswell (29-2) are both locked at 10-1 in District 5-6A, with Guyer holding a narrow advantage after defeating the Bengals (49-47) in their first district matchup earlier this month. However, the ultimate decider will be the rematch in the regular season finale on February 4th.
Flower Mound, South Grand Prairie, and Lancaster round out some of the formidable forces in 6A, while Argyle continues to gain momentum in the 5A classification.
With the postseason just around the corner, here is the last set of rankings as the Dallas area gears up for the road to the Alamodome.
