Friday\u2019s planned ring ceremony was not designed for any such purpose, but rather as a philanthropic gesture to honor the achievements of the Yates team. The team won a second consecutive state championship and was the consensus national champion as voted by various publications, including USA Today.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately those beautiful rings are probably still sitting at the Galleria offices of Adler but hopefully after this media attention, Snap will be able to win some hardware in the form of College Slam Dunk trophy in the future.<\/p>\n<div class=\"omc-video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%; height: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s6e_GU9pDJE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen width=\"600\" height=\"420\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Speaking of H-Town dunkers.
