End 3qtr Central 50 - V-Prep 38

Beaumont Central vs. Victory Prep 3:30pm Players to Watch: Central-6’5 Sr Nijal Pearson (Texas St.), 6’5 Sr Tyrin Atwood (Lamar), 6’4 So Byron Arceneaux V-Prep-6’8 Jr Jarred Vanderbilt, 5’11 Sr LaJuan Hardy, 6’6 So Efe Odigie Notes: Beaumont Central is coming off of a disappointing showing at the Aldine Invitational where they lost two in a row. They will be coming into this match up with fire in their eyes. The match up at the point guard position will be very key as LaJuan Hardy will either be guarded by the much bigger Pearson or the same sized Wesley Randle. Another key matchup will be what Central does to match up with the versatile Vanderbilt. Arceneaux can be key as he can come in a knock down shots.

A split means a Coin Toss 4 the Division???

WOW, bold prediction this early in the season. Can't wait to read BMTSoulja1 response

WOW I was heading toward the Campbell Center this evening to see Central in the Finals, guess I will be walking around the Galleria with the wife.

Does anyone have the stats on Central Big Man from the game against Houston Episcopal last night???

I suggest everyone that is planning on attending book their hotel rooms KNOW. The price for the rooms will steady increase.

Looking forward to seeing if Trevon Duval, Terrance Ferguson and Billy Preston can play as a unit. All 3 are highly ranked in ESPN 60. API will be playing in the Texas Christian Athletic League WOW

If I am not mistaken Wheatley Leading Scorer was out with a season ending injury during the regular season. He should be available this season.

Jim Hicks opinion of the Pre-Season Rankings: 5A Beaumont Ozen is listed at #2 in the state (over #3 Beaumont Central) is definitely an eye opener. Actually this is dead wrong and even Beaumont fans know it. Ozen has been getting their heads handed to them during various Fall Ball events. The #2 5A team in the state don't lose Fall Spring or Summer ball vs the likes of Beaumont Kelly. Sure, Ozen's top prospect is still on the football field, but if this young man can indeed lead the Panthers back to state, then he should be selected "Mr. Basketball" or the Most Valuable Player in all of 5A. Elkins is listed at #14 (behind #11 Marshall who lost their best player Christian Barrett via transfer to Westbury Christian). The fact that Bush was not listed among the Top 25 teams in the state is almost as equal of an error as placing Ozen at #2. This Bush team is flat out loaded (they feature the best sophmore backcourt in the state, hands down) and TABC just supplied this team with all the motivation they needed to enter this season with one helluva chip on their shoulder.

I don't believe so

Conference 6A District 20 Bellaire, Chavez, Lamar, Math. Sci & Tech (Sam Houston), Milby, Reagan, Westbury, Westside

No, Sam Houston is 6A, small but very quick team.

If your program is not recruiting, good luck with winning the state title

Jim Hicks (RCS Sports) throws a Very Nice Tournament, can't wait for it to begin. Does anyone know if Central will bring their Big Man for The Mother Land to the tournament???

I believe Bridgeport High School has mastered the art of recruiting, everyone else should take note or be satisfied with finishing second.

Can't wait for Coach Wise to release his schedule, will be curious to see if API will make a trip down I-45 to play in the Lions Den as a "Fundraiser".

Ray Forsett former head coach at Prime Prep as found a new home at Advanced Prep International (API) in the Dallas Area. Is API The New Prime Prep??? Coach Forsett has recruited 3 Top 10 Players in the country, something no other school in the country can claim. API practices at the Mark Cuban Center, Cuban has ties with Bridgeport High School can't wait to see that match up between the two schools. I can hear everyone grabbing their I-Phones and complaining to the UIL about unfair playing field and that API and Bridgeport is nothing more then a basketball factory. Don't worry "For Now" API has joined the Texas Christian Athletic League (TCAL). I can't wait to see what coach will set aside their jealousy and hatred for Coach Forsett and play this particular school. Yes I understand the UIL has a limit on how many non-district games a school can play per season, but this would be a Great measuring tool on how good your team really is!!!
