Facts .. the kids, parents and fans deserve better than that. Parking and getting into that place is horrible The Alamodome isn’t even a good place to watch a football game. Quote

You have seen some incredible talent along the way. Quote
BADSANTA Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 I think you have seen everytime Silsbee, HJ, Hebert, Pollard, Central, Kountze, Lincoln, and Ozen made it. You even had a chance to see Shaquille O'neal while at Cole back in 89. Quote

no-look Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 This will make my 26th consecutive year I believe. Started taking my son and a family friend. Now three grandkids have been added to the mix. What’s that cash register sound? Ka Ching. Lol Quote

SportsJunkie32 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 The 4A Finals could be Houston vs Houston Quote
SportsJunkie32 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 The Alamodome venue is a bad location, it’s too large and it will never sell out. I prefer Austin bayou city 713 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Posted March 9, 2020 4 hours ago, Topdawg25 said: What’s some of the best games you can remember watching at the state tournament Really too many to choose from. Like a poster stated, the Silsbee/Dallas Carter game was very special. But, if I had to pick my most memorable game, it would have to be the 1972 4A (then top classification) state semifinal between Dallas Roosevelt and Houston Wheatley. My first state tournament and as an 8 year old this game was what got me hooked on going every year. The top two teams in the state with Roosevelt's Ira Terrell and Wheatley's Eddie Owens going at it. Game ended 111-109 Roosevelt in regulation, no overtime and no 3 point line. But what I remember the most was Gregory Gym being packed to the max and folks outside who could not get in had climbed up on the roof to watch thru the windows on the roof. It was crazy!!! Many numerous other games but that's the one that is forever fixed in my mind. lil brother 1 Quote

BS Wildcats Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 Hopefully, coronavirus doesn't cause it to be canceled. Quote
rupert3 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 Just canceled the Houston Rodeo first time in 80 years Wow Quote

NetCat Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 NBA suspends the season till further notice. What would happen if they cancel the tourney? Play later or just no state champions this year? I hope it doesn't get that far though... Quote
