RECAP: THANKSGIVING JAMBOREE
By: Jim Hicks (RCS Sports)
The Thanksgiving Jamboree concluded yesterday with a pair of very exciting finishes. Director Rick Nelson is commended for having a super crew of support staffers, and the hospitality room was filled with aromas of superb dishes. Most importantly, he orgazined a swell lineup of elite high school teams which completed a holiday weekend of hoops. The Dallas vs Houston series resulted in a 5-5 tie after two days of action.
Bellaire used a second half surge to erase a 14pt deficit, and proceeded to knock off Duncanville (42-39) in the finale. Junior guard Sheldon McClellan (8pts) sank a set of free throws with :07 remaining to seal the win. The projected fireworks show between the state's top two big men never materialized into much more than a spark. Perry Jones was held without a field goal in the fourth quarter and totaled 9pts while Tobi Oyedeji (who isn't really expected to do much offensively) had 8pts but hauled in several key rebounds.
Dallas Kimball nearly embarrassed themselves twice in the same game against Port Arthur Memorial. Despite leading by double digits in the third period, a pair of Kimball players were removed from the bench after "getting into it" with each other. Additionally, the Dallas Independent School District athletic director (who happens to be the father of Kimball's coach) was seated within 12 feet of the distraction. Afterwards, Port Arthur Memorial erased the lead and took the lead down the stretch. Trailing 62-61 with the clock dwindling below 10 seconds, Kimball's David Kates dribbled just outside the left three point line. And in one motion he tossed a no look - over the shoulder bullet to Keith Hargest all alone underneath the basket for the game winning layup as time expired.
Exposure is pricelss! Thanks to all the of media personnel who were in attendance evaluating the participating teams / players including Reggie Rankin (ESPN), Ron Briscoe (Nike Basketball), Eric Bossi (PrepStars / EBossHoops/ Scout.com), Blue Zertuche (Texas Hoops), Sam Lowe (Texas Hoops), Max Ivany (TexasBasketball Inc), and Larry Shepherd (The Basketball Connection).
