Broc Terry will represent Bellevue High School one last time on July 18 in the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association all-star boys’ basketball game.
The game is set for 2 p.m. at Midwestern State University’s D.L. Ligon Coliseum.
“We’re very excited,” Bellevue head coach Colby Broussard said. “There’s a lot of talent on the team. It’s always big for a small school of our caliber to send someone.”
Terry is the second player to represent Bellevue in the game in as many years. Brandt Cassetty played for the East in the 2014 game, won rather handily by the West 95-68.
Cassetty scored 10 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished off four assists, and Terry aims to replicate that kind of performance.
“It means a lot to me,” Terry said. “I’ve spent a lot of time playing basketball. I’ve worked so hard to be noticed in the first place, so it’s nice to be selected.
Broussard said there are many reasons why Terry was chosen to play in the game.
“Broc is such a well-rounded player,” the coach commented. “He went from newcomer of the year in the district, to district defensive most valuable player to district offensive player of the year and then MVP. He can play a lot of different positions and do different things well.”
Terry was the District 1A-21 MVP during the 2014-15 season, in which the Eagles put together a 26-9 record. Read more in the mid-week Bowie News.
