It was a big night for Texas girls' prep basketball in Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday, as the West beat the East, 84-75, in the McDonald's All-American Girls' High School Basketball Game.
Texas was represented on the West squad by an unprecedented five players, including 6-2 forward Chiney Ogwumike (Cy-Fair High School, Cypress, TX), the recipient of this year's Morgan Wooten Award as the girls' National Player of the Year; 5-9 guard Meighan Simmons (Byron P. Steele II High School, Cibolo, TX), who was honored as MVP of the West squad; 6-5 forward Karla Gilbert (A&M Consolidated High School, College Station, TX), who put up 15 points for the winning side; 5-10 forward Tiffany Moore (Frisco High School, Frisco, TX), who didn't score that much but dished out four assists and grabbed a steal in her 20 minutes on the floor; and 5-8 guard Odyssey Sims (Irving MacArthur High School, Irving, TX).
