OLD SCHOOL Playoff Warm Up Games

[Kowboy98]

There used to be a day when playoff warm up games were hyped up and a thing. Can anyone remember some good ones from the 80s and 90s? I’m sure this doesn’t happen anymore with 4 teams and two separate divisions per district. But could you imagine this: 

All games played at Montagne Center:

Game 1 - Bridge City v East Chambers

Game 2 - WB v Atascocita 

Game 3 - BU v Katy Seven Lakes

I honestly don’t think Bridge City would gain anything from playing East Chambers… Nothing against EC but they aren’t that great this year. Now Bridge City vs Orangefield would be better

UIL rules have changed that doesn't allow some teams to play warm up games these days. Teams now have game limits and once they have reached those limits, you are not allowed to play any extra unless it's for district seeding or play in games.

Most teams these days play tournaments that are pool play which allows teams to play more tourney games. That adds up over the season. Also several play in multiple holiday jamborees which adds to their totals.

Really the only teams that can play warm up games these days are teams that have to wait till football is over to start their basketball season. Sometimes that's two to three weeks after everyone else has started. Usually that is only in the 3A and down classifications.

We still have some teams that will play warm up games this year. I have already received info on some of the games.

I will be posting a Seed/Play In/Warm Up Game Info thread on Wednesday morning.

Would love to see a BC/OF match up! OF played the BC JV team with a couple Varsity players early in the season when football was in the playoffs. Fully staffed would be a great game!
