Liveblogging DeSoto-Jesuit Strake state semifinal

Just ready to start here in Austin. About 10 minutes late of actual gametime schedule. Expect the other BSW game, with Cedar Hill, to start about 9.

And, one half of a possible all-Best Southwest final is in the bag.

48-44 is your final, as DeSoto erases a six-point deficit with less than four minutes left in the game. Scroll down for game narrative.

Strake on board first with backcourt steal by Steven Rogers.

For Eagle fans, Strake had only a couple of wins by less than 10 points until a 2-point win in its regional final.

In game action here, Coach Chris Dyer is pounding the ball inside to Evan Washington DS is drawing fouls; Wes Williams has two early for Strake. DS is now up 6-2 at 4:33.

Strake's NO. 1 option is 6-5 guard Joey Brooks, who will post up as well as play outside.

STrake is now in a zone at 6-5.

9-5 with Alex Wilson 3.

Both teams cold, cold early. Strake is quick and aggressive on D. 11-9 DS and Washington blocks Brooks. Strake has six personals.

14-all early in second as Wilson hits 3.

Being next to the Eagle bench for the first time, I have to say that Coach Dyer rides refs hard and sees each actual or potential foul one way only. That sais, it may be working a bit.

Derrico Dandridge great move to cut it to 23-18. Strake may be quick and tenacious on D but they have not a lot of offensive speed after the first step. That includes Brooks.

That said, Keith Davis just broke a 7-point Strake run with a slam. We're now at 23-16 Strake, 4:25 second.

Wilson completes a 3-pt play; we're at 25-23, 1 minute left, and a Strake travel.

In the third, both side played a little cautious. Strake forced Dyer into a timeout fairly early in the quarter.

Derrico Dandridge drains a big 3 to give DeSoto a late fourth-quarter lead.
