** STATE TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD**/TOURNEY CANCELLED

[TxHoops]

So serious question - would you rather be like Coldspring and have gotten to finish your season, albeit a loss?  Or would you rather have been in the 4A and other classifications shoes where you never got to play a game at state?   Personally, I’d rather be in Coldspring and the other teams that lost on Thursday.  It’s the unknown, what ifs that drive me crazy.  At least the teams that lost finished tremendous seasons and got closure.  But I realize that may be a minority opinion.  Is it something I was pondering in my social distancing today.

Rather be Coldspring. At least they got to compete. They can sleep good at night knowing what their outcome was.

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

I could be wrong but I think that ship has sailed.

If it happens would definitely not feel like would be near the same as winning it would have.

Better chance school gets cancelled Statewide for the rest of the school year than that tournament getting completed.

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.

Yep it's over no Rings for the prep Academy school.. 😷

Yes good thing we did get to compete but the whole process seemed rushed

I've been hearing the same thing by UIL board members lately but then again you know how the UIL do so I'm really not buying it right now

[SportsJunkie32]

Hope the boys are practicing and staying in playing shape together in small groups during this free time with No assistance from the coaching staff.  Basketball you just need a ball and a court.  I don't believe Houston has a curfew, just asking people to use social distance.

I saw this on several Twitter Post

UIL deputy executive director Jamey Harrison said in medical advisory committee meeting that if schools reopen at some point, UIL still has plans to complete all state championship events and will provide acclimatization period before games resume.

The biggest and most important word in that statement is the word "if".

Spoke to a reliable source earlier in the week and it's almost 90% certain that school is over for the year...Almost all Superintendents are focusing on showing the State of Texas education board of trustees that the students are still working to receive there financial stipends for there schools for nextyear and that's the biggest picture on hand right now....$,$$$,$$$

I’m sure there is some underlying reason Harrison is making these statements.  But you have a lot of kids going through a lot and missing a lot right now.  Even if there is a remote chance, it is almost surely going to end up being false hope he and the uil are peddling.  I am having trouble finding the benefit in that.
