Comments: The rich get richer as Poth and White Oak look very good, although White Oak did take a loss.  Leon is strong while the competition is ferocious nearby.  Freer looked good at the Sinton tournament.  Robinson coach Linda Richter reached a career milestone last weekend as her team went undefeated (6-0) in the West Tournament.  Richter now has a career coaching record of 705-324.  Robinson is 16-2.
