I'm all about basketball even more-so than football but this seems excessive...The Fred White doesn't even fill Ozen and now they can fill 8K seats?

The Fred White??

I think you mean the Fred Williams Classic. The Ozen gym was pretty full for those last two games, but you are right, far cry from 8,000.

You can forget BISD hosting any kind of "small" school tourney or have any tourney that will have a great number of small schools involved. That's what the surrounding towns have going with their tourneys. BISD/YMBL is looking to make their tourney much bigger but with more 4A and 5A teams.

Also, a girls tourney, sadly, would not even be considered.

That was more my thinking, but I couldn't remember the name of it.

[/quote]CATMAN knows about the big tourneys. Teams from all over Texas, boys and girls competing. The BISD complex would compliment such a venue. Also you would have the facilities to bring in regional playoff action.YMBL could bring in additional teams to make this tournament a major deal and bring in dollars to the area. CATMAN love dollars.  ;)

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm
