Congrats to All and See You at the Clinic...
What a year! Congrats to all on completing the 2020-2021 basketball season. With a myriad of challenges over-
come, this challenging season indeed tested our resilience as coaches and leaders of young men & women. In true serv-
ant leadership fashion, Texas basketball coaches once again came through in a BIG way.
I had the privilege of witnessing all 12 UIL state championship games in San Antonio. All 24 teams participating in
the state finals were outstanding! Congrats to all of our state champions!! I can say with certainty that Texas high
school basketball and our coaching fraternity have never been better.
As we inch closer to normalcy, please make plans to attend the in person annual TABC clinic May 13-15 in San An-
tonio. We’ll again have outstanding speakers from some of the best programs across the nation. I know the ideas I’ve
gleaned from the TABC clinics in the past have been invaluable in coaching my teams. I also enjoy meeting with Texas
coaches informally at the clinic to catch up and make new acquaintances. Sign up early & I’ll see you all in SATX!!
Best Swishes, Mike Carrabine, 2020-2021 TABC president

TABC presents Milestone Awards to Texas coaches who reach their 300 th
varsity win and each multiple of 100 thereafter. If you reach one of those
milestones during the season, please let TABC know immediately so that we
can order your plaque. Plaques commemorating 300 and 400 wins can be
picked up at the TABC booth at the clinic in May. Plaques for 500 and subse-
quent milestones are presented during a halftime ceremony at the UIL state
tournaments. We must send a list of all coaches who will participate in that
ceremony to the UIL by February 1, so if you feel you will likely get your 500 th
or subsequent century mark victory this season, let us know NOW. Please
don’t wait until after your season is over to let us know about your achieve-
ment. E-mail TABC at office@tabchoops.org with documentation of your
record when you reach your 300th, 400th, 500th and subsequent century marks.
Milestones
Each will receive a plaque from TABC commemorating their achievement. Since we were
unable to hand out plaques for 500+ wins at the state tournament, all plaques will be
mailed.

People, Places and Things
In January Keldyn Schubert of McLeod broke the state career assist record held by Elgin Katt of Cross
Plains with 1,142. He ended the season and his career with a final total of 1,182. As a freshman (2520
and sophomore (338) he played at Avinger for his father David Schubert. His junior (388) and senior
(205) years he played for Steven Lambeth at McLeod and the Longhorns were region II-2A quarterfinal-
ists. His state record could have been even higher without the shortened Covid season.
James Crawford of Aransas Pass scored 2,039 points in his high school career for Coach Glen Hayes in
spite of being injured for 12 games during this shortened 2020-21 season. He was a part of 105 wins and
also added 611 assists.
Rytis Petraitis of Arlington Oakridge School scored 2,016 career points for Coach Andre Walker’s
Owls. This season he averaged 24.6 points per game while leading Oakridge to a 14-2 record (4-0) in
winning the SPC North Zone championship. Due to Covid concerns SPC had no playoffs. Rytis will play
basketball next year for the Air Force Academy.
The Timberwolves of Beaumont United (David Green) brought home the boys 5A state championship
with a thrilling overtime win over Dallas Kimball (Nicke Smith). But, it was not Coach Green’s first ro-
deo. It is every basketball coach’s dream to make the Final Four and Coach Green has led 5 different
schools to the Final Four including Kountze, Beaumont Central, Fort Bend Hightower, North Shore and
now United. His last two trips have produced state championships.
Terrance Arceneaux, a 6’7 junior on 5A boys state champion Beaumont United, made a three point
shot at the buzzer to force overtime in the final against Dallas Kimball. As the overtime period was rapid-
ly coming to a close and the Knights holding a two point lead, Arceneaux ends up with the ball in the cor-
ner and launches another trey, this one a game winner. Beaumont United 71-Kimball 70 was one among
many of the exciting final games at the recent boys and girls state tournament.
Several players we tracked earlier maintained their scoring averages and are among the best in Texas.
PJ Haggerty of Crosby (Edwin Egans) 33.5 ppg, Landon Condiff of Callisburg (Shad Reed) 32.8 and
Ceasar Reyes of Sabinal (Rodger Clark) 31.1 are top boys scorers. On the girls side Kaiya Wynn of Fos-
ter (Savitria Williams-Smith) ended up with 29.0 ppg.
If you have leaders in 3 point and / or free throws don’t forget to nominate on the TABC website.
TABC Camp of Champs Returns
We are in the process of finalizing a location for our TABC camp and should know
something soon. The dates are pending but our target is mid-June. For safety pur-
poses, we are looking at a day camp rather than an overnight camp. Although it will
be slightly different from years past, we are very excited to bring back the TABC
Camp of Champs with the incredible staff and camp experience that separates us
from other camps. Check the TABC website (www.tabchoops.org) for the latest
camp information.

Hoops for Hope - Texas Style
TABC would again like to encourage
our members to send us any news on ac-
tivities in which your teams participate
involving raising funds in the fight
against cancer and other diseases. We
have called our coordinated effort Hoops for
Hope – Texas Style in order to include the
many causes for which you raise money.
Many schools have hosted fundraisers to pro-
vide assistance for, or in honor of, local
teachers, coaches, students or residents.
Some have mirrored the NCAA Coaches
vs. Cancer efforts where both opposing coaches wear basketball shoes during their game.
Others have hosted “Pink Out” events which have raised funds for “The Cure.” Please send
TABC news and pictures you have from your events during the season. They serve to give
you and your team recognition for your efforts and also to give others ideas on how they
might be able to help as well. Keep up the good work and let us hear about it.
Bells & Leonard Hoops for Hope Event 2021
Bells and Leonard’s Basketball teams participated in raising money and donated it to the
local foundation-Women Rock. Our participating coaches and student athletes raised
$2,000.00 for Women Rock and their foundation. We appreciate all the support and contribu-
tions our communities gave. Every donation made a difference.
We hope to continue the Coaches vs.Cancer Basketball game annually and look to grow
our contribution. Together our communities can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
