If you are going to host, you want the host teams to play. It's their facilities being used and it sells tickets. That's just good busines. As for other tourneys, you only get to play three tournaments in a season. Have to have them played by the end of December since all the districts will be into district play by January. So you really only have this week (Dec. 4-6) next week (Dec. 11-13) and then the Christmas time to play your tourneys. So in their case, they have to not host a tourney (YMBL/BISD) which is a money maker for the district, and go play elsewhere in order to play better teams for just that one week. I looked at tourneys for this week and really the only one that stood out for competition was the Mansfield ISD tourney. It had several good teams in it. Also Conroe Grand Oaks was good. But it's just one week. Like I stated earlier, United will be playing in LaGrange La. tourney this coming week and then play in Dallas ISD tourney during Christmas break. West Brook is playing in a tough Cypress Hoops tourney this week and then play in Conroe ISD tourney at Christmas, I think both teams will get their fair share of competition in those tourneys. Therefore them hosting a tourney for this past week is not that big a deal on the competition level. (even though Cy Springs and Angleton took each team to the brink of losing). It's more important to keep that tourney going for all involved. I know about why some teams don't come to YMBL but that's old news. Things have changed from a few years ago on how it's run. I do agree that the tourney could be better on the competition side of things. Also hate that Lamar no longer hosts the tourney but I am glad they decided to not have a girls tourney at the same time. Allowed to get more boys teams in.

St. Louis team got sick and decided it was best they pull out for everyone's best interest. I agree, this tournament has been a little down over the last few years in comparison to what it once was. YMBL, Barbers Hill and the new WO-S tourney took several of the local teams.

Hurricanes come to Kyle Field on the 20th. Got my tickets.

Name me some tourneys that were played this week that you think WB and BU should have played instead of hosting a tourney? Maybe what you should be saying is YMBL/BISD should get better teams to play in the tourney outside of Cy Springs and Angleton. Simply put, you can't have a YMBL/BISD tourney without the BISD teams participating.

That's right. Forgot about him. I know West Brook has three transfers this year playing varsity.

Question. Is Jones the only new player at United? Was curious if there was another transfer.

United will play in LaGrange, La. tourney next week and Dallas ISD tourney after Christmas. West Brook will play in Cy Hoops tourney next week and Conroe tourney after Christmas. Both these teams played in the YMBL when they won their state championships.

Because BISD runs this tourney and it's a money maker for them? Tournament is not terrible. Are there better ones? Yes. But this isn't terrible. What tourneys this week should United and West Brook have played?

Hardly. Slept from 12:30 to 4pm today. Bout to get back in bed. I'll catch up with all the scores tomorrow. I only posted what was sent to me on my phone.

Peyton Jones was MVP of tourney.

Was told they were not allowed to come back today.

Thursday, Dec. 11 3A DII Newton vs. East Bernard at Randall Reed Stadium, New Caney 7pm (winner faces Wall/Gunter winner) 2A DI Joaquin vs. Refugio at Cy-Fair FCU Stadium, Cypress 7pm (winner faces Stinnett West Texas/Hamilton winner) Friday, Dec. 12 5A DI Port Arthur Memorial vs. Smithson Valley at Legacy Stadium, Katy 7pm (winner faces Aledo/Frisco Lone Star winner) 4A DII West Orange-Stark vs. Sinton at Rhodes Stadium, Katy 7pm (winner faces Brock/Carthage winner) Saturday, Dec. 13 6A DI Lake Travis vs. North Shore at Thorne Stadium, Houston 3pm (winner faces Allen/Duncanville winner) 6A DII Austin Vandegrift vs. CE King at McLane Stadium, Waco 6pm (winner faces Southlake Carroll/DeSoto winner)

Heard the Austin Prep team got kicked out of that tourney.

Congrats Titans!! Gives us a third broadcast for next week. Newton WO-S PA Memorial

JR guard Payton Jones produced a game high 28p in the win. Unsigned SR Elijah Garrett 23p in the loss.
