Candidates for Houston High School hoop queen, front row, from left, Kelsi Adey, freshman; Leslie Pelaquin, junior; Jackie Kidwell, senior; and Amanda Duke, sophomore. Second row, Paulette Chernowsky, freshman; Mollie Warner, junior; Emily Stubbs, senior; and Courtney Sillyman, sophomore.

Houston senior Emily Stubbs was named 2008 Hoop Queen during Friday night’s festivities at Heitt Gymnasium.

Stubbs’ coronation was the highlight of a night that saw Ava sweep the Lady Tigers and Tigers.

The Lady Tigers fell behind early and were never able to recover as they lost 39-30.

The Tigers rallied from a double-digit deficit and trailed by one point when sophomore Tyler DeWitt scored with 2:02 remaining. But without leading scorer Michael Buckner, who went down with a knee injury a few moments earlier, Houston gave up the final seven points of the game and lost 48-40.
