NISD/YMBL announce the 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 the Montagne Center at Lamar University and the Bull Dome on the campus of Nederland High School. These venues 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.
