Today and tomorrow. Not sure about Saturday yet. UIL is catching a lot of flack this morning with not just the announcement but the timing of the announcement. I can tell you had they made this announcement yesterday morning instead of this morning, I would have stayed home breaking my attendance streak.

Announcement from UIL

Will provide updates here for all the state tournament games except for the Coldspring and Shelbyville games. Those will have their own game threads. First up today 1A Semifinal La Poyner vs. Nazereth

I am already here. Been here since yesterday.

Final 80-59 Lamar

(8) McNeese 57 (6) Lamar 76 2nd 2:04

Everyone I have spoken to tonight states it's still a go for tomorrow. I would think that if UIL were to cancel they would make have made that decision tonight instead of letting some games be played then cancel.

7:45 left 66-49 Lamar

51-32 Lamar 15:25 left

HALFTIME Lamar 37 McNeese 24

Lamar calls timeout, and they're in control right now. They're on a 21-2 run, and the McNeese offense looks all out of sorts. Cards lead 37-23, 1:16 remaining in the 1st half

(8) McNeese 21 (6) Lamar 27 1st 5:17

McNeese 21 Lamar 18 7:25 remaining in the 1st half

(8) McNeese 16 (6) Lamar 11 1st 11:33

(8) McNeese 8 (6) Lamar 5 1st 15:02

Staying in my hotel room tonight here in SA instead of being on river walk. Will listen to to KLVI broadcast of Lamar/McNeese game and will provide updates.

NCAA basketball tournaments will have limited attendance.

Silsbee JV and Varsity baseball games at Port Neches-Groves have been cancelled. Varsity Tigers will travel to Hemphill for a game at 6 p.m. No JV game.

Aggie coach gets COY in first year. Quite impressive.

But how is it racially motivated? Particularly when 2 of the 4 top UIL admins involved are African-American.

I agree with everything you have stated. Very well put. My mention of racially motivated decisions was strictly about the subject of the UIL and it's state tourney pairings.

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.

I am wanting an Argyle/Yates final. Really want to see how each team handles each teams style of play. Argyle is very capable of slowing Yates down. They are a much, much better version of China Spring. Argyle has the length, guard play and coaching that can cause Yates fits.
