Let’s take a dive into the various districts, and begin previewing teams and players to watch!  Today we dive into the<b> 6A-II District 14!</b></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Pre-Season Player of the Year:</strong></span></p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Rickey “RJ” Crawford</span></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is one of the top candidates for MVP. RJ looks to lead his team back to District 14 playoff berth. Last year he averaged 11.8 points per game, and help led his team to a 25-12 overall record. He was the only underclassmen to make 1st Team All-District last season. <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Davon Wright</span></strong> is another top prospect for MVP. Davon was the second leading scorer on his team last year with a 10.7 points per game average. His team was full with Seniors and won District with a 14-2 record and 27-10 overall record. Both prospects helped their teams make it to the 2nd round of the UIL Playoffs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Team to Beat:</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Langham Creek will be the team to beat in the District this year.

With junior shooting guard </span><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Trevor Passmore</span></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> leading the way and the returning top scorer from last season where he averaged 13.9 points per game.
