Them Beaumont Boys got a lot of “quit” in ‘em.

And where are you from? I would say the number of state basketball championships Beaumont has that your comment wasn’t well thought out 

I am West Brook basketball alumni. First time seeing my school in the state tournament and final and this feels great. When I saw former WB Coach Charlie B get honored. Along with 2000 Willowridge. I knew we would win. TJ Ford’s wife is WB alumni as well

Had the hotels and traffic not got so crazy, I would have had no problem with it staying there.

Attended state tourney there every year starting with 1972. 43 years of it there.

SA is hands down better than Austin is in hosting this event. That's from me being a fan and media member. Just better all around.

Check right now and show me how difficult it is to book a room in downtown Austin. After you confirm. Give me another reason. SWSX has books and art this weekend

UIL did the right thing in bringing it to San Antonio.

Much better in SA. 

Now that SXSW is in Austin, it's just not a good place to host any longer. Hotel prices are way too high and the traffic is so bad. Those last couple years in Austin was a complete mess. Teams had to stay 1 to 2 hours away from Austin to get reasonable hotel room prices. Then they had to deal with the traffic.

UIL listened to everyone (admins, coaches, fans) and had to make the decision to move out of Austin. It just wasn't feasible any longer to stay in Austin.

I am glad it's in SA. So much better overall.

Good riddance to Austin. Hope it never goes back there. 

And it’s clear and obvious why you don’t like Austin 

As I reflect on my journey from west Houston to San Antonio. And my many trips to The Drum for the state tournament. Starting in 1987

With the new format they could bring it to the moody center. Nothing like Austin for the state championships. SA doesn’t compare 

Blowout City. This is a mismatch 

Exactly why I’ll be in the Alamodome at noon tomorrow

Let’s talk about the most impressive part of this game  West Brook held them  30 points under their average. That was masterpiece on the defensive end , being physical yet smart 

I hate to say this but it’s true. The San Antonio/ Region 4 competition is not as difficult as the Houston or Dallas Regions. Now CCVM did beat 6A state finalist Katy Jordan early in the season here in Houston in the Vype Invitational. However both SA Brennan (6A) and CCVM both lost yesterday. Both were TABC polls #1 team in each classification. What’s funny is MaxPreps had WB as the #1 team in 5A the majority of this season. The region 4 competition is also weaker in football with the exception of Westlake and Vandergrift

CCVM got a little dirty there at the end. The Brook did a great job not getting sucked into anything that could affect them next game. What a performance! 

I would say they certainly missed a few calls. Especially on CCVM 

WB will be playing Larry Birdville (jk) 

WB v Birdville 5A D1 State Final 1pm at the Alamodome 

Wow. I’m a loss for words. Unbelievable

you'd have kids having to wake up at 5 to catch the bus or not getting home until 6:00 in the evenings. it would not work. grades would suffer, test scores would suffer, and absenteeism and truancy would rise, all in the name of a better football team? You'd also be greatly decreasing the amount of opportunities for kids to participate in extracurriculars. Combine all of the sports, drill teams, cheer squads, UIL teams, and anything else you can think of, and you have half the spots and twice the kids. To be honest, just about the only thing that would legitimately benefit would be football, and maybe band, although I think there would be some marching band culture lost if you combined the two schools. Are we really doing this so that the new Timberbruins football team can go 7-4? The basketball teams have enough success separated.

I am not where you are from but it doesn’t take an hour to get anywhere in Beaumont. Look at the furthest distance from a zone to either high school and tell me the mileage and amount of a time it would take a bus to arrive. At max 20/30 minutes which is a typical bus ride

Not sure if what I'm finding is accurate. Populations may be similar, but each districts land area is very differrnt. Allen and Allen ISD has an area of about 29 square miles.  Beaumont is around 85, but the district area is over 150. Again, not sure how accurate the ALL KNOWING internet is.  If it is accurate the transportation issue does make a difference 

Never worked in school transportation and glad of it!

Yes 21,000 students in Allen ISD and 16,000 in Beaumont ISD. The square mileage would only be a factor for the high school level. It can work

Beyond impractical. How many cities the size of Beaumont in Texas only have one high school? In population, but especially in area. It wouldn’t make sense to be bussing kids 30+ minutes (without even beginning to factor in stops) one way just to have better sports teams. Not mention having to build a new school, replace the staff that wouldn’t travel the extra distance, etc. 

Allen iSD has one the high school. The largest in the state. Yes tonight they are in the state semi-finals as well. Population of Allen is very similar to that of Beaumont

Nice article 

Very Proud of this team and the program as a whole. Still disappointed in the 2-point OT loss to Willowridge in the 94 playoffs. That was the pseudo state championship game. Willowridge went on to win state (with ease). But that 94 team with Omar Sneed (jr year) and current Texas State AD Donny Coryell is easily the most talented in school history. Chris Coleman just couldn’t get over the hump for some reason. Including the 1997 Regional Final loss to North Shore. I miss 90’s Basketball lol 

CC Veterans Memorial v Beaumont West Brook for state semi-finals Tuesday. Location: Unknown 

TABC Poll #1 versus MaxPreps Poll #1

for 5A

What a game! Proud to be Bruin Basketball alumni. This is our third or fourth regional final without a bid to state. Let’s make something shake!

5A REGION III

The berry center is smack dab between Beaumont and Austin. Hopefully that’s where WB plays. Down the street from me

Here are some big time and interesting matchups for the Area Round (2nd rd.)

 

#7 Atascocita vs. #25 FB Travis

#15 PA Memorial vs. Brenham

#11 Silsbee vs. #8 Wheatley

Bridge City vs. #7 Yates

Pollok Central vs. #23 Onalaska

#12 East Chambers vs. #3 Hitchcock

West Hardin vs. #16 Thorndale

 

Any thoughts on these or any other matchups?

I like Atascocita in the game against Travis. However I think it may be very close. Atascocita has the edge due to recent big games played… The rosters are even talent wise

Keener hasn't been at Friendswood in years.  Danny Russell is the coach there now.  Jeff sells for a school fundraising company now.  Really good guy.

Wow. I had no clue 

Dad gumit… I was rooting for former WB Assistant Coach Jeff Keener and the Mustangs. Congrats on a good season 

Can someone explain why the constant vomiting? I’m confused lol
