It is the first time Guyer has appeared in the state tournament. On their way to the championship game, the Wildcats beat McKinney, Dallas Jesuit, Crowley, Wolfforth Frenship and The Woodlands College Park.
Their lowest margin of victory was by three to Jesuit. All of their other games were decided by 15 points or more, including a 24-point win over College Park in the semifinal.
Senior point guard Jordan Lowery is one of the top players coming into the final. He is committed to play at the University of Texas at Arlington and dropped 24 points against College Park in the semifinal.

The next two leading scorers going into to the game are junior shooting guard Silas Rodriguez and senior guard Mason White.
This is also the first tournament appearance for the Katy Jordan Warriors.
Differently from Guyer, Jordan beat four of its five playoff opponents by less than 10 points. The one opponent the Warriors did beat by double digits was semifinal opponent San Antonio Harlan, who they blew out by 21 points.
This year’s tournament is the first time UIL has split the brackets into divisions, which is how the football playoffs are structured. The top four teams from each district advance to the playoffs, with the two schools with the highest enrollments moving to the Division I bracket and the lower two going to the Division II bracket.
Guyer won its district, but had one of the two lowest enrollments among Lewisville Marcus, Braswell and Little Elm.
The Wildcats were sent off in parade fashion en route to San Antonio.
