Their is some talent around here..this may be the last year for some of the talent on the hardwood..C.O.has a good possibility of this being the last year for 3 of the 5 starters....good chance they will go football baseball only in high school next year..if not more, those 5 boys have played baseball, football, and basketball together since they were 7 and been very successful at all 3...they are more like brothers so who knows what will happen...but as a dad, a fan, and just the love for sports, I'd take a loss like we did to vincent Saturday by 2,, versus beating teams by 30 or 40 any day of the week..competition is what it is all about..good luck to the rest of these young men for the remainder of the season..

Don't mean a thing until they prove themselves on the Varsity level. I'm all for keeping an eye on a kid, but Crowning them before they play Varsity is...................... you know

Many kids in MS bloom/mature before their peers. Let's revisit this thread in 2-3 yrs & see that list disappear. Many of these kids will go from the Best to a participant or not playing at all. I truly wish All these kids much Success, but let's not put anymore pressure on them that they haven't already placed on themselves. Youth Summer Coaches please quit telling these kids they are the Best in this area. A group of kids to come through a particular School comes through every Blue Moon, those that reach their HS potential come around once in a lifetime. Keep working hard Coaches, that's the only formula for Success.

I 100% agree. You see it all the time. I saw a kid crossing up other kids his age. His daddy thought he was the best. His coach said the other guard would be better than him because he listen instead of thinking he knew everything. 3 years later when everyone could do the same things as he could he would get frustrated and cry during the game. He went from the "best" to a participant to not playing at all. I've seen it in several sports. Usually they daddy blame it on the coach.  

 

It's okay for a spectator parent to be biased towards their kid. But, remember that their body of work will speak for itself.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
