What is it with folks trying to apply race to dang near everything these days? Conspiracy theory with the UIL on the pairings at state tourney??? RIDICULOUS!!! UIL has done their pairings by win percentage for many, many years. Top two teams by win percentage get placed opposite of bracket then the other two teams are drawn/flipped for to see who plays who. Where is the conspiracy? It's completely a coincidence that two predominantly black schools are facing each other in semifinals. That's it. What about the conspiracy theory that could be taken that the UIL, with these pairings, has guaranteed that a predominantly black school will be in the finals? What about that? BTW, Stafford is a predominantly black school. Argyle is the only predominantly white school of these final four schools. Conspiracy theory? Racially motivated decisions? GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

I will be making my 49th straight boys basketball state tournament. Went to my first one in 1972. Have not missed a year since. Soooooooooo glad UIL moved it to San Antonio. Much better place for tournament.

So like I" said from the start this year Bush is the best player in SETX. Right ???

I hope Argyle win the dang thing. 👊

Love everything about San Antonio except the venue.

I'll never forgotten what he did in the Region 3 Final a couple of years ago against Yates. He played his heart out and his contribution to the victory was decisive, he was the difference. Near the end, when he'd given everything he had to give and more, in total exhaustion he got wobbly and just folded up collapsing to the floor. I've never seen such effort and total commitment, right up to the point of endangering himself. That's something very, very special that doesn't come around often.

[Hidden Content] Congratulations to Nederland’s 3 freshmen and the rest of the girls!

I predict Argyle 58-48 winner Yates by 9. Yates over Argyle 77-63

Yates by 13

Really too many to choose from. Like a poster stated, the Silsbee/Dallas Carter game was very special. But, if I had to pick my most memorable game, it would have to be the 1972 4A (then top classification) state semifinal between Dallas Roosevelt and Houston Wheatley. My first state tournament and as an 8 year old this game was what got me hooked on going every year. The top two teams in the state with Roosevelt's Ira Terrell and Wheatley's Eddie Owens going at it. Game ended 111-109 Roosevelt in regulation, no overtime and no 3 point line. But what I remember the most was Gregory Gym being packed to the max and folks outside who could not get in had climbed up on the roof to watch thru the windows on the roof. It was crazy!!! Many numerous other games but that's the one that is forever fixed in my mind.

He can't talk, this is y'all's front runner?

I’m going with Yates vs Lancaster, I believe it was the largest crowd at a UIL Basketball Game.

The Dale had some chances just couldn't capitalize.

Was a good game. Rebels have got to learn to defend small ball... Kirbyville executed the small ball game perfectly.

I am wanting an Argyle/Yates final. Really want to see how each team handles each teams style of play. Argyle is very capable of slowing Yates down. They are a much, much better version of China Spring. Argyle has the length, guard play and coaching that can cause Yates fits.

Certainly

He should branch out. Blaze a new trail.

If the UIL is concerned about the transfer portal for Yates and Faith Family they should have addressed those issues during the appeals process. It is possible that those Good Old Boys rigged the draw AGAIN this year so the African American Schools would not be playing each other in The Finals. It is possible that the fans (Houston and Dallas) wanted to see this particular game in The Finals. Let's look at the color of the players skins, African Americans vs African Americans in one game and you know the skin color of those other two teams in 4A !!! I would like to see the UIL change their seeding for the State Tournament where the teams are seeded by their win - loss record no percentage No Coin Toss or Draw Teams, (1 plays 4), (2 plays 3). This would end the conspiracy theory.

Numbers don’t lie but I ain’t going there

In a heartbeat lol.

I agree but I will take that venue over not having to deal with that Austin crap.

The conspiracy theories are out there, just by luck the African American Schools are playing each other for the second straight year. The competition in San Antonio will be something Yates haven’t seen sense The Thanksgiving Hoopfest. Region 3 ready did not give Yates an opportunity to play completive teams similar to the Dallas Schools. Yates let’s go get a W. This is my personal opinion & Yates Nation.

Nah. Hefner drew double teams and box & 1's all district. PA has 3 Div 1 players, so they did not see the same focus on Lofton. Heck of a player though. Offensive force.

Just my opinion....There have been a lot of great players in Silsbee. Bush is the best I have ever seen.

I agree.

I would Love Lamar...1 of the most electrifying backcourts in the country...

Texas High School Hall of famer

No worries. They’ll be returning 90% of other schools’ scoring next year

DC!! One of my favorite Silsbee Tiger players of all time. Love that guy!

Downfall (2004). It's a really good depiction of Hitler's last days.

From what I seen today, Nederland needs alot of work. The BH game was only 4 innings.

I dunno about the Jasper one (never seen it), but the Carthage one is funny. And it's not talking down on anyone really so I don't see the harm. If it's deliberately trying to tick people off though I'm against it.

Omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣
