A little 3A State basketball talk


Recommended Posts

Last year Tony Wagner’s Estacado Matadors were 34-4 state champions. The return of four starters including all-state talents Clarence Willard and Kevin Wagner make them favorites to rule Region I and repeat. Danny Nix at Burkburnett has three starters including an all region pick from a 29-6 regional semi-finalist. Kennedale coach Doug Groff also returns an all-region selection from a 25-7 area finalist. They and everyone else hope to catch Estacado on an off day.

In Region III Cleveland returns four three year starters including all-state talent 6’6 Cedric Reed. Coach Roderick Broussard hopes to improve on last year’s 28-5 regional quarterfinalist year. Hardin-Jefferson coach Todd Sutherland has three starters, five lettermen and players on a 23-5 JV team to take the next step for a 35-5 regional finalist. But, Travis Williams 30-5 Silsbee squad represented region III last year and he returns '6"4 D.C. Stallworth, an all-state selection now 4 year starter, '6"3 Prentice Lane 3 year starter, starting PG Kelton Gaines and nine players that made the trip to Austin. The Tigers will always be in the hunt.

Two years ago Dallas Madison won the 3A state championship and last year they were runner up. Damion Mobley lost four starters from that 29-9 unit but has plenty of talent returning
including eight letter winners. John King at Argyle returns all five starters including an allregion selection for the 24-10 area champ. Watch out for Lindale where three starters are back. Scott Albritton’s Eagles were 22-12 area finalists in class 4A and can’t be underestimated. Region II looks to be the toughest.

West Oso is usually picked to win Region IV but someone else keeps getting in the way. Arnold Flores will build around all-state Raymond Robinson to make this the year of the Bears. The 32-4 squad last year was eliminated in the regional tournament. Liberty Hill hopes to be the team that knocks off the Bears this year. Barry Boren’s team makes the move from region I where the Panthers were 30-5 area finalists. They welcome back four all-district players and a 24-4 JV adds depth. Don’t forget to include Ike Thorton’s S.A. Sam Houston team. They were a 19-13 area finalist that lost only one senior.

I now see why TABC has Liberty Hill ranked #6 in the preseason polls. LH is now in Region IV, not Region I. They don't have to go thru defending state champ Lub. Estacado to get out of the region. Region IV will be an easier route for a deep playoff run and makes TABC look a little better. ;)

Good points......Lub Estacado has to be the pre season favorite. But somebody once said "anything can happen when you get into the playoffs"....reg. 3 will PROBALLY come from 213A again but you never know. Navasota shouldn't be as tough this year(they went the football way) Cleveland will be good but not sure they have punch to get by seasoned teams.

Let me understand this, Blue.  You stated that you watched a youtube video about a bank robbery in Sour Lake and then immediately said that you did not know there was a bank in Sour Lake.  Hmmm, interesting.  How many banks are in Fannett?

[/quote]yEP, not sure when your bank robbery happened. Maybe 5 years ago or whatever. But I'm sure your town newspaper is still reporting the event as newsworthy even after all this time.

Now that you have cleared that up, go ahead and answer the other question regarding how many banks are in Fannett.

This thread isn't about what towns have banks or how many. Get back on topic.

I did not initiate the bank/robbery talk.  Dove was the perpetrator.  However, if one is allowed to belittle someone elses team, town, etc., there is bound to be a response.
