Sorry regions I and IV but Van (region II) and Diboll (regionIV) will be playing for the gold. Van is a very talented "Hoosieresque" style of team with all 5 guys being able to handle the ball and pass with flair and precision. I saw them pull away from Gilmer after 3 quarters of back and forth lead changes. Gilmer was loaded with a front line of 6'8 6'5 and 6'4 but those little Vandals stoled the show by beating the vaunted press of the athletic buckeyes several times without the ball even touching the floor. It was a beautiful thing to behold even for a Gilmer fan. If you love the purest form of basketball then Van is a must see.
As far as Diboll is concerned, well what else can you say but Jermicheal Finley(UT's next great tight end and all everything athlete). You better believe that Rick Barnes will be in attendance to watch this phenominal athlete perform in the mold of a PJ Tucker, could be the first in a long time of 2 sport athletes at UT. Kind a think of it, I cant recall one.. He is 6'5 and 240 and when he runs the court people we be amazed at his grace and athleticism. It should be a fun finals but i just don't see it any other way.

I think Rick Barnes would probably be at the Big 12 conference tournament

You sure are underestimating both Graham and Aransas Pass.

And yeah, RB will be at the Big 12 Tourney. There could be UT basketball scouts at the State Tournament, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If there is a kid playing in the state tournament that Rick wants, I guarantee he already knows about them and has seen them play before.

And no, I'm not from any of the 4 schools represented at State. Not this year. :D

i haven't seen diboll play. i'm not going to make any predictions. you live in longview, nutcracker, therefore i highly doubt you've seen graham play. you will be seeing some of the best 3A in Lee Berend and Finley. I'm excited for thursday's game. good luck to both teams.

My bad. I'll change that from Silsbee to Aransas Pass.

Diboll sold 700 tickets already. Both towns should bring a crowd, cant wait.

I'm not into roundball but it should be a great game and those kids will have some great memories win or lose. Just to make it to state and get to go through all which that entails. I know how the town feels as in 2003 when my Lions went to the semifinals in football we had the same feeling. It is a great feeling!

So if Vernon made it to State, you wouldn't come watch?
