#1 Fort Bend Elkins vs #4 Houston Jack Yates

[SportsJunkie32]

Jacoby Young, Yates leading scorer is questionable for the game against Elkins. Young did not play Tuesday due to an ankle injury he sustained against Temple. 

Game time decision if he plays

Elkins 80 Yates 68

If Young doesn't play, it's a blow out.

Is this Young any kin to Joe Young who won a title at Yates and went to Oregon to play ball?

[BADSANTA]

Yes his younger brother. They look like twins almost

Don't know a lot about these two but what I saw of Elkins in that fourth quarter of the Central game showed they are vulnerable to a team that applies good pressure. If Young plays as Yates has enough depth to put pressure on Elkins throughout the game they have a good shot.

I like the match up, Elkins guards are good but they can crack under pressure. Yates young bench has matured sense the season opener against Cy Lakes and Fox. It's going to be 32 Minutes of Heat

I agree with this. Elkins also put some pretty intense pressure on Central in that 3rd period, but then let up in the 4th for some reason.

Did Young play?

[409HOOPS]

Yes I was told that Young did play but it he had a slight limp and had to be pulled out of the game a few times.   My buddy told me that Elkins has the best group of guards he has seen this year.  They can penetrate, shoot the 3 ball and play together well.  I wanted to catch the first half of the Silsbee game and then drive to Katy.  But I can't leave the Tigers!
