MIST = Muslim InterScholastic Tournament MSA = Muslim Student Association - its an after school club, we prepare for MIST ... and enjoy ourselves as a group and do activities together This tournament goes down 2 times every year. Once is regional (all schools with MSA's in Houston) and once National (many cities come together to compete, they recently added the Nationals so last year it was at Houston since MIST was started in Houston.) MIST used to only consist of these competitions: <font color=""Red"">Category I: Arts 2D Art 3D Art Digital Art Fashion Design Photography Web Design Category II: Knowledge and Qur'an Knowledge Test 1 Knowledge Test 2 Knowledge Test 3 Knowledge Test 4 Brothers / Sisters Tajweed Brothers / Sisters Memorization Tafseer Test Category III: Writing and Oratory Poetry Prepared Essay Extemporaneous Essay Prepared Oratory Extemporaneous Speaking Short Fiction Children's Book Category IV: Bracket Competitions Debate - Debate Topics Math Olympics MIST Bowl - Category I : Geography - Category II : Prophets - Category III : Quran - Category IV : History of Islam - Category V : Image - Category VI : Current Events Category V: Group Projects Short Film Brothers / Sisters Nasheed/Rap Community Service Newsletter Research Project Science Fair Scrapbook </font> BUT LAST YEAR, THEY ADDED BASKETBALL DURING NATIONALS My school made up our team (about 9 guys) that were in our MSA (Muslim Student Association) and we defeated #3 team from Atlanta. Then we defeated #1 team from Atlanta. Then we played against #1 team from Houston in the finals. We were tied at halftime, but we lost the game and ended up finishing 2nd. We were mad. We couldn't wait til this year. So, 2moro is our tournament. We don't have as good players as we did last time, but our teamwork is twice as better. We've been practicing a little bit too. We got an 8-man roster. I'm runnin starting point .. been working on passing skills lately. Tournament is this weekend - but the actual <font color=""Red"">MIST competitions listed above</font> is next weekend. I'm participating in Photography. Last year EVERYBODY thought I would get 1st, but I didn't even get 5th ... - but I'm really lookin forward to this tournament. Just thought I'd let yall know. Got any questions, ask ..
<div class="quote_poster">Swish Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Good luck bro, cross someone over real good for JBB. </div> Last year, I would have .. but this year we decided we're going to play fundamental and do nothing fancy unless we're up by 20. But you know.. if somebody trying to play D all up on me... i will pull a crossover. BTW - All this goes down at University of Houston.
<div class="quote_poster">SP23 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">What's the age limits?</div> High school student who attends MSA. And we had to pay around $40 to register for the whole thing. BBALL + MIST. Our BBALL team has only one senior, but its all good

Yessir! You already know. I am not starting though. I am just a freshmen. But when I play, I'll make sure to cross someone up for my people at JBB.
Which one of you is better? One day we should have a JBB basketball game. LOl, doubt it will ever happen, but it would be interesting.

Good luck Pakman and Umair. Reading this though is depressing. My school season just ended like 2 weeks ago. We ended up finishing 2nd but with the best record in the city. We won 5 tournaments, we were ranked #1 in the City for playoffs. But once City Finals came, I think we got a little cocky. We led the other team by 7 at half then we got lazy and lost. Sorry I went a bit off topic, but yeah, cross some one over for us! With an 8 man roster what happens if someone gets injured or doesn't make a game, then you're stuck with like 2 bench players. If you get into foul trouble, you could get screwed. But hopefully you guys do well.
We lost, we full court sideways on a 6 goal gym. We didn't have enough spacing and we had 2 big men (and one of them had a messed up ankle). So ... so much for me driving in. Everybody played ok, not to good...myself included. We were down 3 and with like 5 secs to go and my friend inbounded the ball to Umair, who hit a long shot to beat the time. That was cool .. And my other friend was recording the game, he managed to get me on video when I crossed this guy. 2nd thing ... they didn't do rankings correctly. We were 2nd from last year, this other team was 1st. They made us play the team that was 1st right away .. which we lost.
<div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Post the video.</div> One my friend puts it on the computer and cuts it into bits and pieces, its like 30 mins long. Plus a fight almost happened, me and this other guy were tangled up with the ball ... and the team we played 1st plays dirty. That guy against me was being dirty, so my friend jumped in and played rough with him. And before you knew.. fight ALMOST.

<div class="quote_poster">SP23 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Was that shot you guys with 3 secs not at the end of the game because wouldn't you go into OT?</div> halftime. we played 12-minute halves.
I was on my school's team as well, but couldn't go because I had an Academic/Debate tournament to go to. . That would've been kindof cool, though, especially since I was starting and may have played against you guys.
