After Thursday's victory over Hitchcock in the state semifinals, the Cole boys basketball team will square off against Dallas Madison for the UIL Class 3A state title on Saturday morning.
– For the second straight season, the Cole boys basketball team will play for the UIL Class 3A State title.. Senior guard Trey Blackmore led the way with a game-high 23 points, while fellow seniors Dre Ray and Silas Livingston added 13 and 11 respectively. This marks the third straight season that Cole has won a game at the state level, but their next opponent might be their toughest test yet: the Dallas Madison Trojans.
Back in 2019, Dallas Madison defeated Cole 43-33 in the Class 3A State semifinals en route to their fourth state title. In 2020, the Cougars and Trojans won each of their semifinal games to set up a rematch with the championship on the line, but the game was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, Dallas Madison failed to qualify for the tournament, and Cole took advantage by defeating Little River Academy and Tatum to secure their first state title since 1989.
“It definitely helped us a lot, seeing their team early in the season before you play them again,” Blackmore said. “It helped a lot last year when we played London earlier in the season and we played them next in the Regional semifinals. We know what their guys can do, and we’re going to try to come out and have a great game plan.
