Good to see Clarke's first two shots were made threes.

Does anyone know how well he played?

Last statline I heard was 4-6 from downtown.

His team is getting clobbered. Also, high school all star games are painful to watch.

Good to hear he is doing well at least haha. Yes, I agree. High school all star games in ANY sport are brutal to watch.

He also competed in the 3-pt competition at halftime. He didn't win (3-way tie for second, I believe), but his shot was the purest/most refined in my opinion, and he also took his time much more than anyone else so he did not take as many shots overall. (All "FWIW")

They (THSCA) really need to seriously consider doing away with this game in its current form. Gone are packed houses in the largest venues in Texas to a half empty NAIA gym. They've gone from primetime cable broadcasts to live internet streaming. If most of the 11,000 high school coaches, attending the convention, don't bother to show up, why should anyone else?

It doesn't seem to be an honor anymore for the top Texas kids to get invited or play. Kids prefer to travel the country with their AAU teams to play the top talent nationally; in front of the top coaches.

Overlander had about 15 points (all on threes, I think)
