Segura shines in All-Star game

The Bandera Prophet
The inaugural San Antonio Sports All-Star Basketball games proved to be competitive contests from start to finish, and Bandera senior Isaac Segura played a big part in helping Team Gold be competitive in Sunday afternoon’s Class 1A-4A game at Northside Sports Gym.
Segura, who was playing in his final high school basketball game, logged 18 minutes and 48 seconds of action – the second most of any player on Team Gold – and made contributions on both end of the floor for coach Bruce Bowen.
While Team Gold ultimately fell to Team Black in a 72-67 finish, Segura posted six points, seven rebounds, one block, one assist and one steal.
“I thought Isaac did a great job of coming in and making an impact,” Bandera Head Coach Brady Keane said. “We talked before the game about how it wasn’t important how much he got to play, just that he made it hard to take him out once he was on the floor. Obviously he did that, and he got to finish up his high school career proving that he can play with some of the best players in our area.”
Segura’s seven rebounds tied for the most among any player in the 1A-4A all-star game, joining Team Black’s Isaac McCrea from San Antonio Christian. Segura finished 3-of-5 from the floor, connecting on an offensive rebound put back, a transition layup put back, and a post move finish through contact early in the first half.
“I definitely left it all out on the floor and played my hardest,” Segura said. “It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun learning and playing against those guys.”
Team Gold struggled from the 3-point line, finishing 1-of-18 while Team Black connected on 8-of-22 3-point shots. Cole’s James Livingston had a team high 14 points for Team Gold, while TMI’s Ojani Bowen and St. Anthony’s Dylan DeLeon contributed 12 points apiece.
For Team Black, Antonian’s Max George was named the game’s MVP after posting 18 points and four rebounds. YMLA’s Jeremiah Conaway had 11 points and a highlight reel dunk in transition, and McCrea scored 10.
“There were good players all the way around and everyone competed at a high level,” Segura said. “We were pretty confident going into it that we had a good chance to win, but Team Black made some good plays in big moments.”
While his high school basketball career is over, Segura plans to attend trade school to become an electrician. He was named to the second team All-District team in District 27-4A play this year and finished his career both as an all-star and as a key part of Bandera’s success at the varsity level while advancing to the playoffs in each of the last three seasons.
“We are going to miss Isaac a ton,” Keane said. “He was a lot of fun to coach because of the way he approached things on a daily basis. He led by example and always gave it everything he had. Isaac’s work ethic and determination are exactly what we’re looking for, and he set a great example for future players to follow.”
