Coastal Bend Boys Playoff Schedules Released; 22 Teams Advance, Jim Wells Competing

The Corpus Christi Caller‑Times published the Coastal Bend boys high‑school basketball playoff schedule on Feb. 21, listing pairings, locations and start times for area teams, and KRIS reported, "22 Coastal Bend high school boys basketball teams advanced to the Bi‑District first round of UIL playoffs." The Caller schedule names Friday, Feb. 27 slots at local sites including Falfurrias, Alice, Kingsville and Sinton, while KRIS and KIII published Tuesday bi‑district listings with venue and clock times for many matchups.

Jim Wells County representation appears throughout the slate: Caller records Orange Grove in the Class 3A Division I results with West Oso 52, Orange Grove 49, and KRIS/KIII list Orange Grove vs. West Oso as a Tuesday 6:30 p.m. game at Calallen High School. Alice figures as a regional host: KRIS lists Miller vs. Laredo Martin Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Alice High School, and Caller shows Aransas Pass vs. Santa Rosa slated for 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27 in Alice. Those entries place multiple postseason games in or near Jim Wells County facilities over the coming rounds.

Several Coastal Bend wins were cross‑reported across outlets. Caller, KRIS and KIII each carry Ray 69, Laredo Cigarroa 50 in UIL 5A Division II, and Caller lists Flour Bluff 64, La Joya Palmview 41 in Class 5A Division I. Caller also reports Aransas Pass 90, Falfurrias 46 twice in its bi‑district listings, and Caller shows Brownsville Jubilee 83, Kingsville 73 and La Marque 93, Ingleside 24 among Division II results. KRIS highlights a player name fragment, "Ray's Huzefah Ullah," in its bi‑district coverage; box scores and player statistics were not provided in the fragments reviewed.

Readers should note scheduling conflicts between sources that affect plans for local fans and travel. Caller’s schedule lists Flour Bluff vs. PSJA North at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27 in Falfurrias, yet Caller’s bi‑district results and KRIS/KIII show Flour Bluff versus La Joya Palmview at Falfurrias (KRIS/KIII place that game Tuesday at 6 p.m.). Caller’s Veterans Memorial entry lists an Edinburg Vela opponent for a 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27 game in Alice, while KRIS and KIII list Veterans Memorial vs. Laredo Nixon Tuesday at 6 p.m. at San Antonio Southwest High School. Caller also contains both "McAllen 65, Ray 58" and the separate Ray 69, Laredo Cigarroa 50 line; the sources do not explain whether these refer to different rounds.

Because of those inconsistencies, verify final opponents, court sites and start times before traveling. The Caller‑Times posting (Feb. 21) is the published schedule; KRIS and KIII provide supplemental bi‑district times that list venues such as Falfurrias HS Gym, Alice High School, La Feria High School, Calallen High School and Miller High School. For fans in Jim Wells County planning to attend, confirm with school athletic departments or the UIL playoff office for the official bracket and game times before heading to the gym.
