Highland Park coach Bo Snowden notes rising Texas talent attracts out-of-state recruiters for the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star game. He cites players like Tate Armstrong of Springwoods headed to Duke and Ronald Taylor of Midland Nebraska-bound, while South squad picks Huey Smith from Houston Lincoln and Danny Van Rheen of Deer Park to Missouri.
