Jamie DeMoney and Jeremy Plowman

URBANDALE, Iowa -- Houston juggernaut Yates has made its closing argument for a mythical national title.

In the Week 17 National Prep Poll released Monday morning, the Lions moved up one spot to No. 3 after winning their second straight Texas 4A state title and finished undefeated in back-to-back years. Yates beat regionally ranked Lancaster, 92-73, before a record crowd of over 16,000 in Saturday's state final at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin. In their 106-76 semifinals win over The Colony, the Lions established a new national record of 15 consecutive games scoring at least 100 points.

Stars lead No. 1 Northland to district crown
Steve Blackledge, Columbus Dispatch

Three years ago, winning a district championship was a huge accomplishment for a Northland team mired in mediocrity for the better part of two decades.
