If the schools are cancelled, then All of the tournament’s which includes academic/sports will be cancelled. So sad if it does occur, but it is what it is.

Sir, keeping The Dream Alive 💯

Jim Hicks with RCS Sports is reporting that his grapevine is telling him that The UIL is seriously considering completion of The State Basketball Tournament in May or June. Hicks indicated that if it occurs in May it might take place May 14-16, 2020. Hicks mentioned this particular dates a few weeks ago on tv (High School Sports Zone, Cube 57). Hope everyone is safe and practicing social distancing.

Yates is not leaving the UIL, therefore they can’t complete after the regular season.

Yates played those games without the Big Man so the transfer portal/recruits did not factor in. Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could see that Yates were going to loss those games. But at least Yates took on the challenge to complete and didn’t let those games affect their season. Those elite teams are not going away any time soon so why not take on the challenge and play them. I hear all of the criticism about those teams but don’t see too many teams on this thread taking on the challenge to play them. It’s sad these good X’s and O’s Coaches are not willing to challenge their teams ability to play above their level in a preseason game. I understand your team would loss similar to the way Yates lost, but give them the opportunity to complete against those teams.

Yates Nation is fine with losing those games (4 games) against nationally ranked teams. Yes Yates was clearly overmatched and could not match their skill level. The talent level on those teams were overwhelming but fun to watch. I applaud Coach Wise for taking on the challenge and allowing his team the opportunity to play against superior teams. Coach Wise would prefer to play those teams and get an old fashion whipping then play anyone in 4A region 3 during the preseason.

It would be difficult for the majority of players in 4A region 3 to make Montverde’s team.

Please remember Coach Wise did not have All of the transfer/recruit kids available for the games in The Hoopfest but still played the games knowing it was going to be a beat down. Yates starting 5 was small compared to the 2 teams they played. Yates also took a beating by Nationally Ranked Sunrise Christian Academy, ranked #4 in The Hoopfest 84-47. Maybe Yates should have used China Springs game plan by playing stall ball after being down by 20+ in the 1st qtr against those teams??? What’s crazy is that Coach Wise will probably attempt to schedule a game against those elite teams next season.

Past MaxPreps National Champions 2009 — Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.) 2010 — Yates (Houston) 2011 — St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.) 2012 — St. Anthony (Jersey City, N.J.); Oak Hill Academy (Mouth of Wilson, Va.) * 2013 — Lone Peak (Highland, Utah); Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) * 2014 — Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) 2015 — Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) 2016 — Chino Hills (Chino Hills, Calif.) 2017 — Nathan Hale (Seattle) 2018 — Montverde Academy (Montverde, Fla.) 2019 — IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.)

With the season being cut short, Montverde Academy was crowned National Champs for 2020. Montverde Academy did a two-step in Texas, beating Yates (#1 in 4A) and Duncanville (#1 in 6A) during the Thanksgiving Hoopfest. I enjoyed watching that team during the Hoopfest. Montverde won by an average of 39 points against some of the Elite Teams this year.

UIL March 19, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “We are working diligently on contingency plans to conduct state championships in each of the activities that have been suspended,” said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt. “While the immediate future is unclear, we are committed to providing these much-desired activities to all Texas students and will prepare for all possible outcomes, including extended school closures.”

UIL extends its suspension of events and activities. The earliest start date is May 4th

Good point, Coldspring didn’t finish their journey but they got to complete.

Keeping my fingers crossed that track & field won’t get cancelled

Where did you get the information from ???

Texas Education Commissioner is talking about suspending the reminder of the school year

Yeap but it was a good gesture by someone on Twitter. Yates High School is available "Just Joking"

I saw this on Twitter Central Heights Blue Devil Basketball @JackYatesHoops we’re willing to host y’all and Faith Family for your semi final game. We can seat 1250. We’d love to have y’all.

Still holding out hope that The UIL allows the tournament to proceed. If they decide to resume the tournament, Yates will be ready to press for 32 minutes. Its the only style of basketball Yates Plays.

I’m thinking out loud, each conference can play their games in smaller venue similar to the playoffs. The games would be at neutral sites and the Finals for each conference would be played at a neutral site. I understand that all of the conference semi and finals can not be played under one roof but smaller venues with a reduced crowds should work.UIL can approve to extend the season and allow the games to be played. Their are facilities (basketball arenas) in Houston that are not being used. Just food for though

Some of the kids are preparing to play for their AAU teams, if a kid isn’t in sharp in April he was already in poor condition. Hope and Pray they resume the tournament in April (like the 1st or 2nd week). I was looking forward to some of the matchups this year.

UIL site indicated Final 90-73 Dallas Madison

👍🏿

Hearing that the games are cancelled, trying to confirm

UIL are know talking about playing the games in a empty stadium
