"It's a great tournament."Sixteen teams from around Southeast Texas will compete in four pools on Thursday and Friday, resulting in the top eight teams reaching an eight-team bracket competition on Saturday.Pool games will be best two-out-of-three to 25 with a 30-point cap.Thursday's tournament schedule is:Pool A (old gymnasium)9 a.m., Kountze vs. Hardin10 a.m., Kirbyville vs. Deweyville11 a.m., Kountze vs. KirbyvilleNoon, Hardin vs. Deweyville1 p.m., Kountze vs. Deweyville2 p.m., Hardin vs. KirbyvillePool B (new gymnasium)9 a.m., West Hardin vs. Burkeville10 a.m., Warren vs. Community Christian11 a.m., West Hardin vs. WarrenNoon, Burkeville vs. Community Christian1 p.m., West Hardin vs. Community Christian2 p.m., Burkeville vs. WarrenFriday's tournament schedule is:Pool C (old gymnasium)9 a.m., Evadale JV vs. Cathedral Christian10 a.m., Jasper JV vs. Buna11 a.m., Evadale JV vs. Jasper JVNoon, Cathedral vs. Buna1 p.m., Evadale JV vs. Buna2 p.m., Cathedral vs. Jasper JVPool D (new gymnasium)9 a.m., Evadale vs. Spurger10 a.m., Jasper vs. Woodville11 a.m., Evadale vs. JasperNoon, Spurger vs. Woodville1 p.m., Evadale vs. Woodville2 p.m., Spurger vs. JasperThe bracket play on Saturday starts at 8 a.m. with the consolation championship starting at noon, the third-place game at 1 p.m. and the tournament championship taking place at 2 in Evadale High School's new gymnasium."There are some good teams in this tournament and we'll get a good look at all of them," said Coach McAdams.
