A Tribute to the 2010-11 Texas State Basketball Champions

In anticipation of the upcoming 2011-12 Texas high school basketball season, we take a second look at the recent Texas high school state championship winners.   The conventional approach to determining the future is to look at recent history in order to attempt to gauge what will happen next.   Even though the past does not equal the future, when it comes to basketball, homage must be paid to the champions and the money must be placed squarely on the experienced shoulders of the victors.  JuniorHoops.com salutes the 2010-11 season winners with this walk through recent memory lane. Congratulations state champions for reaching the pinnacle of high school basketball success.

What Sports Writers Are Saying About The Dallas Mustangs Club System

"The Mustangs are one of the most consistent programs in the country when it comes to producing high major Division 1 talent. They have kids spread out throughout the country and they all have good futures ahead of them. It's interesting to watch so much talent play within the team concept because often times when you have players of that caliber they want to highlight their own game. They are very competitive and you’ll see the Mustangs go pretty deep in each tournament they play in. Dallas has a lot of talent and has really made a name for itself the last couple of years for developing and producing basketball talent and Tony Johnson does a good job of getting the kids in that area to play together."

- Tim Watts, Rivals.com

"The Dallas Mustangs, in a short period of time, have become one of the top summer basketball teams in the state."

- Mike Kunstadt, Texas Hoops

"Year in and year out, the Dallas Mustangs field one of the more competitive and talent laden teams around. They are known for their toughness and depth. Coach Tony Johnson always has high level prospects and his teams compete hard. From my standpoint, you know that everytime you watch the Mustangs you’re getting a great look at terrific Texas talent!"

- Dave Telep, ESPN.com

"The Dallas Mustangs are one of the best AAU programs in the country. They always are well coached and always play hard. They always have great talent and they are without doubt a program that up and coming AAU programs certainly should emulate."

- Clark Francis, Hoop Scoop

" The Dallas Mustangs have seen tremendous success in their first few years as an elite high school summer program. You can't argue with two AAU national titles, a semi-final appearence at Reebok Big Time, a McDonald's All American, and over 25 Division 1 signees in two years. Coach Tony Johnson's program has given many kids an opportunity to experience top flight competition and travel to showcase events and camps that otherwise would not have been available to them."

- Tim Oknst, Texas Roundball
