The Katy Jordan Warriors and Houston Memorial Mustangs battled for a regional semifinal berth in this Class 6A-Division 2 playoff contest. Memorial took early control behind Ivy Oliver's three-point shooting, but Jordan stayed within striking distance, trailing by only one point at halftime. The intensity ramped up in the second half as Brooke Kearns extended Memorial's lead before Jordan mounted a comeback. Ciara Emezue proved to be the difference-maker in the paint, scoring a go-ahead basket and the eventual game-winner with just 31 seconds left on the clock. Katy Jordan held on for a 63-61 win and will move on to face Fort Bend Hightower.
