    Welcome to The Fast Break, a biweekly Star-Telegram series featuring the top Fort Worth-area high school basketball news, performances and results.

    GIRLS

    Cleburne swarms Joshua to stay unbeaten in 8-5A

    Cleburne, No. 21 in the latest Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Class 5A state poll, and No. 22 Joshua squared off on Friday at Cleburne and the game lived up to its billing. The Yellow Jackets played outstanding defense and both schools were very physical, but Cleburne managed to come away with a 40-26 win to stay undefeated in District 8-5A.

    Cleburne (22-8 overall, 11-0 district) was led by senior Lily Sheppard and Alyssa Franklin who had 9 points each, including 2 threes each. Sheppard was honored after the game for becoming a 1,000 point scorer, which she reached on Thursday against Burleson Centennial.

    “Lily is so special,” said Cleburne coach Tiffany Hill. “What makes her special is that her dad (A.J. Sheppard) is a football coach and this is her fourth school she’s attended in four years. You can only imagine how tough that is.”

    Sheppard started her career at Mansfield Lake Ridge then went to Euless Trinity. She followed that going to Mansfield Summit where she won a district title and then to Cleburne.

    “She’s been a big part in our success in what we’ve done here at Cleburne this year,” said Hill.

    Cleburne got a strong defensive performance from Franklin, Isabel Guadamuz and Arissa Turner. Guadamuz contributed 8 points for the Yellow Jackets.

    The Yellow Jackets are one team that Joshua (30-4, 8-3) hasn’t been able to solve. Of the Owls four losses, two are to Cleburne, one is to district mate Mansfield Summit by 3 points and one to Class 4A No. 2 Canyon.

    Joshua was led by Austyn Miller with 8 points and Elexee Ray who chipped in 7.

    Keller thumps Trinity to keep pace in 4-6A

    Keller broke open a close game at the half en route to a 59-25 win over Euless Trinity in a District 4-6A game on Friday. Keller, which remains in second place in district, led 19-14 at the intermission, but outscored the Trojans 40-11 in the second half.

    Keller (20-7 overall, 10-3 district) had 12 of its 13 players on the roster score points in the game. Audrey Heibel led the Indians with 10 points and Mia Arnold scored 9.

    Serenity Davis led Trinity (9-19, 3-10) with a game-high 14 points.

    Paschal remains perfect in District 7-5A

    Fort Worth Paschal kept its perfect district record intact with a 50-36 win over Fort Worth Wyatt in District 7-5A play.

    Paschal (17-13 overall, 10-0 district), which jumped out to a 28-15 lead at the half, was led by Audrina Bowers with 15 points while Victoria Hultgren tallied 8. Wyatt (12-11, 5-4) was led by Trinity Mitchell who had a game-high 19 points.

    Southlake Carroll jumps out quick, rolls past Northwest

    Southlake Carroll, TABC’s No. 6 team in the state in Class 6A, jumped out to a 26-point lead at the break then coasted to a 58-20 win over Justin Northwest in a District 4-6A game on Friday.

    Central (7-22, 0-12) was led by Ava Turner with 17 points.

    Arlington Bowie takes down Sam Houston

    Jordian Witherspoon scored 17 points and had 10 rebounds to lead Arlington Bowie (17-11 overall, 8-3 District 8-6A) to a 60-11 victory over Arlington Sam Houston (5-21, 0-11).

    Saginaw thumps Brewer in 5-5A

    Saginaw got 29 points from Shaniah Franklin and 25 more from Brookly Monroe as the Rough Riders ran rough shod over Fort Worth Brewer 73-34 in a District 5-5A contest on Friday night.

    Franklin surpassed 1,000 career points for Saginaw (16-12 overall, 7-2 district), which remained in solid position for a playoff berth. Brewer fell to 6-20 overall and 1-8 in district play.

    Everman outlasts Burleson, keeps playoff hopes alive

    Everman got 21 points and 19 rebounds from Carsyn Smith and 13 points and 6 rebounds from Jahzeriah Esters as the Bulldogs kept their playoff hopes alive with a 56-32 win over Burleson in a District 8-5A contest on Friday.

    The Bobcats remained in solid contention for the final playoff berth in 4-6A. Byron Nelson dropped to 15-13 overall and 7-4 in district.

    Lake Ridge edges Mansfield in 3-6A showdown
