Really too many to choose from. Like a poster stated, the Silsbee/Dallas Carter game was very special. But, if I had to pick my most memorable game, it would have to be the 1972 4A (then top classification) state semifinal between Dallas Roosevelt and Houston Wheatley. My first state tournament and as an 8 year old this game was what got me hooked on going every year. The top two teams in the state with Roosevelt's Ira Terrell and Wheatley's Eddie Owens going at it. Game ended 111-109 Roosevelt in regulation, no overtime and no 3 point line. But what I remember the most was Gregory Gym being packed to the max and folks outside who could not get in had climbed up on the roof to watch thru the windows on the roof. It was crazy!!!

Many numerous other games but that's the one that is forever fixed in my mind.
