IMO, all charter schools should be treated like the Jesuit schools who wanted to play under the UIL umbrella. They should have to play in highest classification regardless of enrollment size.
FF draws from 15 other ISD's. It basically is an academy for basketball. It's the only sport it offers.

yep

First of all, in regards to the #1 seed game. I know that Orangefield wanted to flip and not play but Kountze said no. They wanted to play the game. So Orangefield had to agree to play or concede the #1 seed.
As for the superlatives go, I actually thought that Whitmire and Joubert should have been Co-COY. They both did tremendous jobs with their respective teams. I usually don't like Co's but in this case I think it's deserving and would have been the right thing to do.
I think the coaches got the MVP right. IMO, Sells is the best player and performed that way all season. I think Scales getting Offensive MVP is right on the money and Wrinkle getting Defensive was the correct call too. IMO, Wrinkle was more valuable to his team but isn't the scorer that Scales is. This is based on some of the games I have watched live and on video. When I talk to folks at the games it's always brought up how Wrinkle is Orangefield's "glue guy" (does it all) but just doesn't have the offensive game that Scales has. 
All in all, I think the coaches have it right.
Just my opinion. No shade thrown anywhere.

52nd for me.

Blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile… 

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

Blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. lol

Way lower than this.
Something like 20-16

If any of these two play Ellison, and play this bad, Ellison will win by 20+. 

Yes

End 3rd
43-25 Ellison
 
Looks like this 40-1 Memorial team schedule may not have been all that tough.

Let's make one thing perfectly clear. I have no vote, just an opinion. Like everyone. I honestly don't have any real issues with the all district teams. 
I also don't think it's a "travesty" when it comes to all district selections. They are what they are. Much bigger things in life to be concerned about.
People just can't take these type things personally. It's not worth getting worked up about.

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 ! 

Type in UIL or Killeen Ellison

NFHS Network has all the games at state tourney.

The line
Ellison -7

I got to go with Hitchcock but Ponder's style will cause them fits.

I went back and looked and I had Scales as my NCOTY.
As for the other all district picks, I recognized some names on there. Mostly seniors were picked last year for both 1st and 2nd teams.

Ponder will have to shoot as well if not better than they did today from 3 to have a chance. I feel like its very similar to an Argyle Silsbee type game. Ponder has to force Hitchcock to play at a slower tempo to have a chance.

I thought Sells played better defense and handled the ball better than Donald. So no.
I would have to go back and see what all the superlatives were for last year but just off the top of my head, Perrault should have been MVP.

Then why bring Kobe up in this thread if intent was not to compare?
Kobe Bryant is completely irrelevant to this situation. Was completely unnecessary to bring it up.
