If the Fort Worth school district ever put together a Dream Team, it would have definitely included Southwest's Brent Hackett and Dunbar's Jeremis Smith each of the past few seasons.

Hackett, a TCU signee who has a knack for seeing plays develop, and Georgia Tech signee Smith, a dominating presence in the paint, have played together on summer-league teams but never in school.

"[Hackett] and Jeremis do have a good rapport with each other," Southwest coach Scott Gray said. "That would have been something. ... That would've been three state titles there."

The two have been teaming up this week at the Global Games at Moody Coliseum. On Wednesday, Team USA suffered its first loss in pool play, 96-91 in a physical battle with Croatia.
