It all came down to Big Wes missing two free throws late in the 4th and Ashton green fouling out early.  BU had chances with this team.  Payia played lights out.  Nonetheless, heck of a season and heck of a run.

Great run by BU I think this years run was the most impressive of them all, because no one had BU picked to win the region. They showed the heart of a champion tonight. Also I’m confident that BU would’ve won state had Dotson been healthy based off what I seen from the other 3 teams today. Either way nothing to hang your head over, this group will be forever remembered in Beaumont. 

What a gutty gutty performance by Payia and United. Down their leader Dotson and then Green fouling out, ended up just too tall a task to get the win.
Great 4 year run for BU and Coach Green.

5:40 2nd
15-12 BU

That concludes Day 1
Tomorrow its 2A, 4A and 6A state semifinals.
Again, Beaumont United and Silsbee will have their own game threads.

Yes

Yeah but in Region 2. 

I agree. A real shame for the young man.
Heart goes out to him.

All in all though, I’m pretty F’d up bout Kayde injury man. And I can only imagine how he feels senior year having to watch his team from the sidelines fight for a state championship as a SETX sports fans & Beaumont fan I’m devastated myself ! But from what I heard the kids are in good spirit and ready to prove everybody wrong who’s counting them out ! 

Word I have is that it was not a break but a finger jammed and a laceration on his non shooting hand.  I reliable source informed me this morning that he should be a go for Friday.

Stoney Point beat United in the TABC showcase… United has to slow down Mosley and hopefully Dotson can go 

Right. It's going to be a tough match up for United. And REALLY tough if Dotson doesn't play.

Got word that Kayde himself stated that he should be good to go Friday.

We are living in the Golden Ages of SETX basketball. I dont know a time in history where you've had Silsbee and Beaumont make it to state so often. I think Ozen and Kountze went together a time or 2. Silsbee and United both made it 2 years ago. San Antonio will be packed with families from the 409. 

Toe Toe got hurt in the State semi-final game. He had 8 points in the first 4 minutes before going down. Nijal Pearson played a hell of a game as a freshman that night to keep Central in it down to the wire. If they would’ve snuck past Kimball they would’ve won’t it. Central brought back all 5 starters and still missed out on the state tournament due to how good Ozen was the next season. One of the best seasons of Beaumont Basketball that year with Central and Ozen going wire to wire as 1,2, or 3 with Lancaster all season. 

Got word that Kayde himself stated that he should be good to go Friday.

Great news, I’m sure he will be receiving the best treatment up to game day

1000% agree.
Boutte is in this rarified air. Particularly those Lincoln years.
Green is pretty special in the fact he has taken 4 different teams to the state tourney, winning 3. Four straight regional championships, looking for their 4th straight state title game, puts United at the top of the hill.
Since Sigler came back to Silsbee in 2012, the Tigers know nothing other than being regional favorites. These last 13 seasons under him have been some of the most successful years that any team would want to have. 11 regional tournaments, 10 regional finals, 5 regional championships, 3 state finals, 2 state championships. If the prognosticators are right, Silsbee will play in their 4th state title game in last 9 seasons. (some say they played the title game against FF in 2022, so that would make 5). 
These two coaches resumes are second to none. 
BTW, I love the fact that Silsbee is a part of both of these coaches career. 

By the way, how many coaches in our coverage area have gone to 4 state tournaments in a row?  We praise certain coaches in this area (and not undeservingly) but some of us act like it’s just making substitutions for Green and Sigler.  Those guys are both no brainer hall of famers who deserve to be at the top of any list you want to make regarding basketball coaches in this area or the state. 

I agree

Yeah you will never convince me Central wouldn’t have won it all that year if Toe Toe hadn’t torn his knee up.
