Bridgeland's Weigman selected to Elite 11 Finals
Being a part of the Elite 11 is the dream. Last year, Houston had three quarterbacks go to the Elite 11 Finals in North Shore's Dematrius Davis (Auburn), Shadow Creek's Kyron Drones (Baylor) and St. Thomas' Maddox Kopp (Houston). Now, you can add Bridgeland's Conner Weigman (Texas A&M-commit) to the list. "It feels good, I've been watching the Elite 11 since I was five years old," Weigman, who was selected for the Elite 11 Finals out of the Houston Regional on Sunday, said.
