Houston's UH Express League begins their playoffs next week, but the region is also abuzz with excitement over next season's merge into the Top Flight of Ultimate Hoops.

The 2009 Summer Season will see Texas earn its first full UH region, and the city of Houston is ready to show off its considerable skill. UH Expansion scouts have been mighty impressed with the talent level in Houston, with some saying they have the players to make a run at the National MVP chase and enough talented teams to push towards the #1 spot in the Power Rankings.

The new region's Summer campaign will tip off in late July. Welcome to the UH courts, Houston!
