And as much as we miss the ton of work he put into this site, we miss his quick wit and insightful posts more.   He was one of a kind and irreplaceable in every sense of the word.  But thank you to Mike (and Lisa) for doing all you can to try and pick up the slack.  As bullets said, I don’t think it will ever be like it was.  That’s what happens when you try to replace the irreplaceable. 

I'm doing the best I can. I'm taking care of most of the boys side and was hoping someone would take on the girls side of things.
Like was stated earlier, WOSGrad spent countless hours on this site. He was medically disabled from working so he had the time (and love) to spend on getting the content up on this site. I simply do not have his time.
I am currently getting the boys basketball forum up to date and will try to get some schedules posted over here.

Well, I don’t know if you kept up, but one of our main guys…. An admin here passed away this summer.  He was the one that was responsible for putting all this together.  Right now, we are still trying to shuffle things around to bring all that valuable content here.

A Rivalry Game in the purest sense. Not the magnitude of Mid County Madness but a close second for Football
is king in Texas. A win by Westbrook will have this site buzzing with happy haters. A win by United will have this site 
in Cricket mode for the most part. Should be a great turnout with fans from both schools and others who want to
watch tradition rich basketball programs with winning Head Coaches.  Throw out the records and rankings this should
be a Chest match between coaching styles. Boutte vs Green. This will be a doubleheader. Westbrook girls 11-0
will challenge upstart 2-6 Shewolves. Girls Tipoff 3pm. Enjoy. 

Just some notable scores/observations on the Texas teams
btw I get my rankings from Maxpreps
 
#1 Sierra Canyon (Cali) 73         
#5 Duncanville 80      F    (Duncanville also beat #11 Corona Centennial)
 
D.Kimball 59                               (Also lost to #6 N.Little Rock (Ark) 72-70 on last second FT's) 
#11 Corona Centennial 67    F       
 
#7 D.Richardson 61
Compass Prep 38 (AZ)
 
#5 Duncanville with Black back is definitely the top team in the state and in the conversation for the country. Him and Holland probably make up a lethal 1-2 punch, but don't be fooled Duncanville is DEEEEEEPPPPPPPP with D1 talent and potential 5 stars. To #1 Sierra Canyon defense they did have two key players out both 5 stars. But Duncanville is probably the bar in Texas
#7 Dallas Richardson will definitely have something to say about that though,  Wallace and Griffin definitely another Dynamic Duo.  They looked very good against the #1 basketball program in the nation (according to Maxpreps) team out of AZ Compass Prep who has alot of D-1 talent.  The game was never even close either, Griffin had 20 in the first half and Wallace cemented it with 18 in the 2nd half. Seems like Richardson and Duncanville are on a collision course
D.Kimball Really looked tough against stout competition. I know this will do nothing but make them better for a run late. IMO and I know 247 or Maxpreps has other thoughts but Aterio Morris was probably the best an most consistent player in the gym...That young man is a dog and has elite game. I was talking to a scout and they basically agreed. They said he's raw though and his jumper isnt as consistent as others but were he lacks he makes up in other areas with quickness and shifty movement, and is the best when going downhill.  Said if he can polish up a few things he can def become the #1 guard in the class.  They lost a close one to #6 N.Little rock and got beat pretty soundly by #11 C.Centennial. 
McKinney and John Paul (Plano) are two Dallas area teams that looked really good and should have a nice run this season in their respective classifications

Well now y’all are just mixing business with pleasure…

UIL = NCAA.  Waste of space.  So dumb.  Maybe if she moves back in with her ex, and he kills her, UIL will stop taking the lazy, we will just rubber stamp whatever these coaches don’t want to have to play against a particular kid do. 

The game was well played by United and they still have some small things to fix, they have lapses where they get unfocus and throw the ball all over the place, they gets lots of silly fouls because they try and block every shot, , free throw is ok but can be better, FT looks be around 78% , 3 point shooting  looks to be around high 40’s , 2 point shots probably at 60% , great rebounding, they are a very balanced team, their biggest problem is going to be letting another team control the tempo of a game. Overall game today A- 

United lead 41-32 halftime , It looks like they got 2 refs out the neighborhood to call this game and that’s keeping Madison because every time they make a call they go to Madison coach to make the call. United missing plenty of lay ups but Madison is also fouling a lot but hardly called, If United don’t push the lead up they will hard a hard time if it’s close. 

After last week stall ball encounter with Cy Ranch todays contest with Houston Madison will probably be a marathon. Madison dropped its season opener to
run and gun Houston Yates in a shootout (104-101)Tuesday Nov.16..  It'll be interesting which United team shows up. Kendris Henry is surely missed his senior leadership was 
the glue that kept this team grounded. Time for someone to step up and assume that role. There's no "I" in TEAM.... Good luck at noon today at Madison.....

I love this board and has been a bummer I wasn’t on here much last season because of the COVID stuff. I’ll start out some I know

The thing I love most about Terrance’s game is his ability to have a major impact whether he is scoring the ball or not.  Tremendous defender who is extremely unselfish offensively (to a fault sometimes) and loves to keep his teammates involved.   He has really climbed up the national rankings but as someone who sees much of the best the country has to offer each summer, he is still ranked too low IMO. 

Congrats to Beaumont United 
Terrance Arceneaux on committing to Univ of Houston 

metroplex basketball is a joke.  i've seen more team loyalty at pickup games in the park.  

I respect a coach that will literally “take one for the team.”
But just imagine if he could have landed Emoni Bates’ mom???

Looks like Dallas Kimball is stacking up for a possible rematch with Beaumont United for the state championship. Arterio Morris had left Kimball to attend Ischool in Lewisville but after Keyonte George left to attend IMG he has decided to return to Kimball. But he also grabbed ischools highly ranked guard trae Clayton to come to kimball. Also hearing Kimball grabbed two more players one from family faith (not Jordan Walsh who's gone to cali) and another from Coppell ( not anthony black whos headed to Duncanville). Man I thought greater Houston kids were moving and shaking. WOW!!!

I’m glad he’s back too.  Would love to see that rematch as long as the result is the same.
 
So Arterio and Keyonte George were going to combine to form the best HS backcourt in the country.   The heavy rumor floating this summer was they were both also going to commit to Texas and Chris Beard.  Arterio commits in July.  Then recently Keyonte commits to Baylor.  Shortly thereafter, Arterio decides to return to Kimball.  Would be very curious as to what precipitated what. 

He’s good but he can’t go left…

Pretty cool 2024 rankings. Harris will probably be #1 by years end.
 

This is my view.  Stall ball is terrible to watch, but I guess it’ll continue for now.  

No shotclock.... Proposal was denied
