South Texas Shootout Basketball Tournament

The Young Men’s Business League (YMBL), in partnership with the Nederland Independent School District, announce the 68th year of hosting outstanding high school basketball teams to compete in the South Texas Shootout basketball tournament scheduled for Nov. 29th, 30th – Dec. 1 ^st. The Montagne Center at Lamar University and the Bull Dome on the campus of Nederland High School will play host to boys basketball teams from the Beaumont area as well as across Texas and Louisiana.

Originally called the YMBL Cage Tournament, the first tournament was held in 1952 and has grown to become one of the premier high school basketball showcase events in Southeast Texas.

Historically, the home of the South Texas Shootout has been the Montagne Center and has proven to be an outstanding facility for high school basketball talent. The South Texas Shootout has played host to many of the top programs. Numerous student athletes have competed here before going on to highly successful college and professional careers. The tournament has been recognized as one of the top high school tournaments in the country.

The South Texas Shootout tournament is the third oldest continuing project of the YMBL. The YMBL sponsors several projects throughout the year to support the youth of our community including the BISD/YMBL High School Track Meet, Girls High School Volleyball Tournament, Boys and Girls Junior Golf Tournament, and the Junior Livestock Auction at the South Texas State Fair.
