BEAUMONT, Texas — The road to the State Tournament in San Antonio is long and treacherous one.
After two rounds of battle, Southeast Texas had five boys basketball teams standing in the Regional Quarterfinals. Now there are just two.
Beaumont United was pushed to the limit for edging Goose Creek Memorial in triple overtime. Meanwhile Silsbee survived a major scare as well against Houston Yates.
Both teams will compete in Region III Tournaments this weekend with two wins needed to advance to State.
