SAN ANTONIO — The Clark Cougars girls' basketball team will compete for a state championship Saturday after knocking out the Coppell Cowboys, 49-48, on a buzzer-beating shot from Natalie Huff Friday afternoon.
The Cougars led at halftime and carried that momentum into the second half, setting up the dramatic victory and a date with DeSoto, who handily defeated Pearland 56-35 Friday night.
"I've been telling Coach (Rihana) Houy that I was gonna make a half-court or buzzer-beater all season, and I finally got it," Huff said after the game.
The Cougars (33-3) are riding a 25-game winning streak, having not lost since Nov. 19.
The UIL 6A State Championship game tips off at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
