I don't remember the year, but I saw Immanuel McElroy for P.A. Lincoln score 50 against Wheatley in the 4A Region III Final at the Campbell Center.  Lincoln lost by 3 I believe. I saw Bryan Sallier score 28 points with 20 or 22 rebounds, and I think that was in the State Semi-final. I also saw Darryl McArthur put on a show at the Beehive. Every game that I saw Earl Evans play. If I remember correctly, Earl missed the bus going to play at Lake Charles Boston, and he came in I believe after halftime and scored 50 and Lincoln won.

If I remember correctly, PJs have some pretty good burgers. Also, believe it or not, the Bucees on I-10 in Luling has some great BBQ and steaks. Gonzales has some of the best sausage anywhere.

[/quote] Ahhh Dickey V, I have to beg to differ regarding Beaumont having much more overall individual talent.  Port Arthur Lincoln alone has a very long list of talent as well just going back to their first State Championship team in 1981: Michael Jaco (All State -Creighton), Leonard Allen (All State - San Diego State), Anthony Allen (All State - Georgetown), Kevin Bush, Bryan Sallier (1st Team All State football & basketball Oklahoma -Pro bball overseas) B.J. Tyler (All State - Texas - 1st pick Philadelphia 76ers), Keith Harris (Tulane), Steven Jackson (Now Milwaukee Bucks) Kelvin McKyer (All State), Emmanuel McElroy (All State - Cincinnati), Brannon (Houston), of course there are many names that I have left off the list.  I just listed some of the most notable. The Golden Triangle has always had a lot of talent, in all sports.  However, until the late 80's or early 90's, it was not regarded as such, especially for basketball.  If there was a school like that in Beaumont, I would expect them to dominate. [/quote] NO QUESTION that Port Arthur had talent..BUT I said in THE LAST 20 years, means dating back to like 1992...Beaumont has had more...No knock on PA, its just that PA did MORE with less than Beaumont, riding heavily on tradition and having a great overall program. [/quote] Dickey V, you are correct my friend. In the last 20 years or so, Beamont has had much more. The lone notable name from PA in the last 5 years or so that sticks out to me is J'Covan Brown.  Well, Dominique Keller also comes to mind, but that's about it.

[quote name="no-look" post="1195036" timestamp="1331320385"] All classifications are "real basketball" its  all good! [/quote] I agree No-look. I watched a couple of the games yesterday and this morning on the internet and saw some good talent.

Nice post Dogs1988. As I posted in another thread, it's tough enough to face a team twice in a season and win both, and much more difficult to face them 3 times and win. Congratulations to Nederland on another great season and run in the playoffs. Congratulations to Ozen on the win and keep working and improving. The playoffs is where you want to get hot and play your best ball.

Congratulations to Nederland on a great season. It's tough to face a team twice in a season and win both, and even more so 3 times in a season. Congratulations to Ozen.  Keep up the hard work and keep improving. The Ozen basketball scenario is similar to the football scenario last season. Both teams sort of backed into the playoffs, but got on a roll. Now is the time to be playing your best ball. Once again, congratulations.

If it's for the District Championship, I would rather play and let the kids decide. If it's for 3rd or 4th place seeding, maybe not. Warm-up games, I don't think that I would play a warm-up game, primarily because of the risk of an injury. Also, tensions could rise, and things get out of hand, and players get into a scuffle, and other players leave the bench, and you will have suspensions.  I know that this scenario is less likely, but I would not risk getting a player injured.  It's the same reason that some NFL teams will sit out starters for the last game if they have made the playoffs and there is nothing to gain by winning, or nothing lost in incurring a loss.
