United -9

Yep. Loved Ole Gregory Gym. But I was glad it went to the Drum.

UIL needs to keep it in SA. No way it should go back to that God forsaken place called Austin as long as SXSW is still there. Moody Center only holds 11,000, 5,000 less than the Drum. I was told tu wasn't interested in hosting any longer because they didn't want to have to be on the road two consecutive weekends. With them joining SEC, they may not have a choice in hosting.

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.

Most likely losing 5. I will be surprised if Miller is in school for spring semester. I look for him to enroll early to play spring football.

I'm not counting on Miller being back to play basketball. Word I am getting is he will enroll early to college in order to play spring football. But, that was based on possibly winning a state championship this year in basketball. We will see.

Yes it was.

BTW, Silsbee did commit 10 fouls but Washington fouled way more than 2.

Last night, Silsbee only attempted 12 three pointers the whole game. They attempted 15 in this 1st half. 13 turnovers is why Silsbee trails by 4.
