After 51 straight years of attending the boys basketball state tournament, my streak will end this season as I will not be attending this year. My goal since I started going was to attend as many as my dad did who started taking me when I was 8 years old in 1972. My dad ended up attending 50 straight, his last time going in 2007. I made 51 straight last season. My priorities have changed over the years and my interest has waned some the last couple of years. Got grand sons to run around with now (T-ball, soccer, etc.) along with hanging out at the beach. With the wife and I retired now, just got other things I want to do. Actually I'll be hitting the new Horseshoe casino next week. I enjoyed each and every trip to the state tourney. Great memories with my dad and got to see some great basketball. I have been truly blessed. I may attend another state tourney (particularly if Silsbee goes) but the streak had to end sometime. Will miss hanging out with coaches, officials, media and fans that attended on a regular basis. Good luck To Beaumont United next week. Bring home that 3rd state championship.

Walmart closing ALL Portland stores after historic theft rise (msn.com) Absolutely love this. These ultra-woke cesspools are starting to feel some consequences for their actions. Rising crime has bothered a lot of them, but businesses shuttering and moving away will hurt just as bad, if not worse.

That's pretty cool.

Baddog beat me to the "Bluto" Blutarsky quote, lol.

Most folks outside of Silsbee don’t realize what an unbelievable floor general Bush was. With a PG of his abilities on this years club they’d be special. He just wouldn’t let em lose.

It needs to go back to Austin. Especially since UT has a new basketball arena

San Antonio is cool. But there is nothing like the state tournaments at the Drum for all those years

Silsbee's Drelon Miller!!! Couldn't have happened to a better young man!! Congrats!!

It’s weird to see an all district list where the top 2 teams and the playoff teams dominate the list.

I’d been hearing about Devon. When I first saw him he was a 5’8” water bug, dashing all over the court. “Is that the guy everyone is talking about?” Then he came down and hit some swirling lay up against a really big post from Bellaire. The ball rolled around the rim 3 or 4 times before it went in Devon was headed to the other end. He knew it was going in without looking. Then Devon grew to 6’3” 210lbs, with guard skills. If he had a stop & pop outside shot he’d be on national TV like Kendric Davis, making a $ million in NIL. A play that I’ll never forget. Devon is down low on the block, battling for rebounds against Carter in the state championship game. He makes an outlet pass to Chris Martin who is dribbling down full court with his right hand with a Carter defender on his left flank. Chis scored with a fundamentally perfect right hand lay up. Could he have done that from the left? I hope so. Plays like that help win championships.

A man to look up to. 😂😂👽😂😂

“Leave him alone. He’s on a roll.” Lmao

The Yates game in Huntsville was better than most college games. Pace was unreal, athleticism was unique for a high school game to say the least.

Very true. And I know most of us will never forget that Yates game in Huntsville. And Devon McCain’s performance against Carter in the State Championship game was one for the ages and one of the all time great performances at state.

Let’s start a protest!! Lol I can’t cancel them with my Gumbo though.😁

Be careful with the prize in that bag

Why the old gym would hold at least 100 on both sides

I think we ought to have it in Gregory gym lol went there several times. You probably seen Leggett get beat by Avinger in 77.

Silsbee and Kountze coaching staff

Some of y’all told me this group was going to be as good or better than the Adams, McCain, Bush group. I found that hard to believe. Results aside, that has never passed the eye test with me. Thought it was unfair to this group to put that type of weight on their shoulders. Still do. Really good bunch who still has one more year to leave their mark and I hope they do. But as I said when they were coming in as freshman. Really good group of kids but let’s slow our roll. They aren’t THAT. Conversely, we did have a group that does meet or surpass that group. And they are COACHED by a Silsbee guy. Go get that three peat Wolves!

Bam!! [Hidden Content]

Honestly what other facility could guarantee the UIL back-to-back weekend availability and is large enough to host the event??

“The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch” returns Tuesday, April 18, 2023 (per AD at end of “Capture of Burmese Pythons”).

Anyone got the attendance count from last night?
