And that concludes the 2025-26 high school basketball season. Congrats to all the state champions and to all our coverage area teams that had fantastic seasons. Time for me to get some rest and relaxation. Probably won't see much of me around here after college basketball is over. Like the great Forest Gump said "I'm pretty tired, think I'll go home now".

Other countries already have nuclear weapons capable of reaching the United States, including Russia, China, and North Korea. What is the cost of the defense systems designed to address those threats? Do we not already have and maintain defense systems such as the North American Aerospace Defense Command, along with missile defense networks, early-warning systems, and strategically deployed defense assets around the world? The United States spends billions of dollars each year on the military, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the United States Department of Homeland Security, and defense contractors. The country has also monitored Iran for more than four decades. Yet the argument now being made is that the United States must assassinate Iranian leaders and seize Iranian oil because, if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon, it could not be stopped—despite the fact that the United States has long deterred nuclear-armed adversaries such as Russia, China, and North Korea. If our systems are good enough to monitor Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un, aren't they good enough to monitor the mullahs in Iran?

Going next week for a few days but have to come back for my wife's surgery. Having rotator cuff surgery. So we will be in Silsbee for a couple of months, then the beach.

hi 5 to both BMT schools, proud of yall, outcome didn't go our way but thanks for a good season

Great season by Orangefield. One of the best coaches in the area, it’s nice to see success for him. Also great career by Scales. Dude came in to high school with tons of hype and most kids would crumble under that pressure. He flourished and improved every year.

Being a little harsh don’t ya think?

That’s funny as all get out!! 😂😂

Again — opinion!

If you asked the white house what was “ruled out” they would say, we leave all options on the table. Do you really want the enemy knowing what we won’t do? It amazes me the lengths folks will go to defy common logic just because of Trump. SPOILER ALERT - We don’t tell the enemy what our plans are🤦🏻‍♂️

No doubt. I’ve been saying it for years.

CB says we have most secure elections in the world. 🤣😂

What's crazy is there's a half dozen teams or so from the area sitting at home that probably could have won it all. They got taken out by the other DFW schools.

You not going anywhere. Your addicted.

DFW is on another level now.

Strong guard play is usually the key to winning championships at the high school and college level.

I'm sure you will have to unwind after all this and btw great job

My thoughts on this game. Summit just played an overall better game than BU. They played defense light years better than any other team I’ve seen BU play this year. To say that they’re undersized, they played defense light great in your face defense, their hands are active, they are always in great positions to grab rebounds. Also, on offense, they run plays for their best players. United was a stark contrast. We run NO plays except out of bounds plays. We seem to be out of position on defense a lot. We had size advantage but we never take advantage of it. Instead, we want to jack 3’s up. Tonight, they were not falling at all. I would have liked for our star players to get great looks just like that freshman from Summit. Overall, we return a lot next year. I expect ‘a certain player’ to get a LOT better so we can try to get back to the championship. Been a great ride. Look forward to another fun season next year. Again, congrats to Summit on the win!

Both Bmt schools played with less urgency than their opponents today unfortunately.

When 21 of your 28 shot attempts are three's, that's living and dying by the three. Also, United has 14 turnovers. Jones has 7 of them. Summit as a team only has 6.

The mentality and sense of urgency is different. .

Not the same event obviously but we played at TABC showcase this past summer. It was similar we led most of early game and then they made a run late and won a close game. They are very good. Honestly when you are talking about most of 3A top 10 anyone can beat anyone on anyday as just kind of depends on lots of matchup factors and shooting. Paradise is great at what they do, I wasn’t good enough of a coach to find out this year. Well earned championship for them.

Everyone competes to win championships and the best team at the end of the season is declared the "champion". That means that if you want to declare someone to be the best coach you would start with championships and then go to "wins". SS can be declared the greatest high school coach of all-time without qualification. However, that does not mean that he has not been in "the right place at the right time" and also been the beneficiary of outside factors such as the fact that there are many more championships available on a yearly basis than what was available before all of the division splits. There are many GREAT coaches in schools that never have the talent level that SS walked into in Carthage and deal with community dynamics that hinder maximum optimization of the talent available. Those coaches may appear mediocre to those not "in the know". It was mentioned previously that a good coach "gets the most out of what he has available" and this is a likely good way to view caliber of coaching. However, the only folks who know what the "most out of what is available" is typically the coaches on the staff. Those who do not spend the hours with the kids when they are out of their comfort zones can only speculate as to what they believe to be "real".

The Dallas Fort Worth area went 7-for-7 with sweeps of 4A, 5A, & 6A -Dallas Madison (3A D1) -Dallas Kimball (4A D1) -Dallas Carter (4A D2) -Frisco Heritage (5A D1) -Mansfield Summit (5A D2) -North Crowley (6A D1) -Little Elm (6A D2)

If Little Elm wins, that will be a clean sweep for Regions I/II. 12-0 Region III went 0-8
