I don't recall reading a thread like this recently. Normally we talk about the best players in the area, but I want to ask you what was the best individual single-game  high school performance that you personally witnessed. Your answer doesn't have be limited by when it occured... 80's, 90's, 00's. Let me hear it! (I'll save mine for now)

1. Stanley Bonewitz (SA East Central) against El Paso Riverside at the '95 State Tourney Semifinals.  I have never heard 12,000 collective gasps everytime someone touches a ball like the crowd did that night.  He was simply amazing in everything he did (passing, shooting, dribbling.)  Simply amazing.

2.  Chris Bosh (Dallas Lincoln) against Ozen in the 2002 State Finals.  A friend and I knew after leaving that game we watched a player that had a chance at being a real superstar.

3.   TJ White (East Chambers) in 1996 against Crockett in a Playoff warmup game.  He went off for 50 pts (I believe he had like 4 dunks).  He was incredible that night.   

 

Honorable Mention:

D. Arthur  (South Oak Cliff)  against Angleton 2 years ago in the State Semifinals.   

He reminded me of a young Bosh.  He could shoot the mid range jumper, defend the perimeter, and make clutch plays with the game on the line.  Will have a real future in the NBA.

Icky3284, I was in the Drum that night when Bonewitz went off, it was just as you said, the crowd was into it like no other game I've witnessed. In fact every year since, I've been disappointed, because those 2 games East Central played, against EP and Carter were the most exciting hs games I have ever attended. Thanks for bringing Stanley Bonewitz up

Rashard Lewis (Alief Elsik) in 1996 or 97 I forgot but he had 58pts against Hastings (district rivals) they had to stop the game and move from the Hastings gym to the Elsik Gym because Lewis dunked and broke the rim

AMEN! Icky.  Bonewitz, hands down, the greatest high school performance I have ever seen.  Especially considering the atmosphere and situation.

Thank you one_love. The whole reason I started this thread was because of Letsinger's performance that you are referring to. I'll never forget the buzz in the building that night. Evadale's gym was packed, district championship on the line, two teams ranked in the top 5 in the state. Letsinger blows up early scoring the first 12 points of the game in 2 minutes. Big Sandy calls time out, and the game was OVER! I'm not saying that it was better than Bonewitz or any others. I'm saying it was the best performance I every witnessed. It sure was a joy and a pleasure to coach Letsinger. Unbelievable talent and an even better kid.

      NIH Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”!

      By Reagan · Posted

      In a video released Monday, Raja Cholan, a top official at the U.S. National Library of Medicine under the NIH, admitted to an undercover OMG operative he doubts jab efficacy and hasn’t “gotten the latest COVID shots and I’m not going to.”  “I PROBABLY SHOULDN’T BE SAYING THIS OUT LOUD;” Chief Confesses COVID Health Initiatives Were "COMPLETELY MADE UP”. "I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID. They don’t.” Adds, "We're all going to learn [about vaccine safety] when it's too late," as Pfizer & Moderna "are just getting a bunch of money… Vaccines were accelerated through the approval.” ‘We fly under the radar of being scrutinized…I don't think I have too much to worry about.’ Trump victory “worse for the NIH.” “It would be better for a Democrat to be in office.” WOW!!!!

      Newsom Proof

      The same reason you worry about Trump more than anything else. Why do trolls like yourself start threads like your Soros hedge fund thread and you never come back to…..just bait. Newsom might make a run for president in 2028. People need to know about his policies. You don’t think that’s important?

      Newton vs Daingerfield

      By Newtonres75-86 · Posted

      I like Newton’s chances here. I’ve watched  videos of Daingerfield what few I could get. Their big Qb scares me a little he looks Ike a good athlete. I think for a change Newton has a little more speed than the Tigers. That Samuel kid for Newton can move., and it goes without saying about Porter. That Hunter kid ain’t bad either. They scared me to death with their pass defense against Edgewood until I saw the video. That Qb for Edgewood can put it on a dime. And, his receivers could catch it. I’m pumped; this is the most fun time of the year for me. Go Eagles.🦅 I have to add this though. I watched the State game between the tigers and Yoe in 2010. Those guys looked like grown men playing as opposed to kids now a days who look like boys.😂 that was a heck of a good game.
