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

Has anyone heard that the tournament has been suspended???

Sir I will respectfully say it’s no use for us to continue this conversation regarding race involving The UIL. We can agree to disagree regarding this issue. Have a Great Trip in San Antonio Sir

I don’t understand why The UIL can’t use the same procedure they use for the playoffs 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. The UIL leaves it self wide open for criticism and conspiracy theories with the State Tournament seeding. Jim Hicks on The Chop Shop just asked the coaches that are listening to his show if they have ever witnessed the coin toss/draw a The State Tournament. I spoke with the AD at Yates and no one from Yates was present. This is why that Good Old Boy System with the coin toss/draw behind closed doors need to stop. It needs to be a transparent system. The seeding can be rigged behind closed doors involving a selected few individuals.

The Alamodome venue is a bad location, it’s too large and it will never sell out. I prefer Austin

The 4A Finals could be Houston vs Houston

I’m going with Yates vs Lancaster, I believe it was the largest crowd at a UIL Basketball Game.

If the UIL is concerned about the transfer portal for Yates and Faith Family they should have addressed those issues during the appeals process. It is possible that those Good Old Boys rigged the draw AGAIN this year so the African American Schools would not be playing each other in The Finals. It is possible that the fans (Houston and Dallas) wanted to see this particular game in The Finals. Let's look at the color of the players skins, African Americans vs African Americans in one game and you know the skin color of those other two teams in 4A !!! I would like to see the UIL change their seeding for the State Tournament where the teams are seeded by their win - loss record no percentage No Coin Toss or Draw Teams, (1 plays 4), (2 plays 3). This would end the conspiracy theory.

The conspiracy theories are out there, just by luck the African American Schools are playing each other for the second straight year. The competition in San Antonio will be something Yates haven’t seen sense The Thanksgiving Hoopfest. Region 3 ready did not give Yates an opportunity to play completive teams similar to the Dallas Schools. Yates let’s go get a W. This is my personal opinion & Yates Nation.

Thank You for the information

Conference 4A Argyle (33-4) vs Stafford (32-9) 1:30p Friday Jack Yates (26-4) vs Faith Family (24-13) 3:30p It appeared that 6A & 5A were seeded by their winning percentage on opposite sides, seeded different in 4A
