No. 6 Stephenville controls its destiny after beating Gatesville 73-55, and No. 5 Glen Rose suffered a shocking 46-45 road loss to last-place Lampasas Tuesday.
Stephenville (19-2, 6-1) hosts Brownwood (9-13, 2-5) for its final game of the season, and it will be Senior Night at Gandy Gym with District 6-4A title on the line for the Honeybees.
All indications were that Stephenville and Glen Rose would battle for the league championship after the two teams split home-and-home wins. The Honeybees topped the Lady Tigers 40-34, and Glen Rose returned the favor 39-33.
Now a championship/seeding game is out of the window if the Honeybees continue their hot trend that is coming at the right time of the season.
Stephenville handed Brownwood a 47-20 road-trip loss on January 19 and needs to avoid any letdowns.
