Had Dill and Williams stayed at Central, it would be a no brainer for 2nd (actually would have been a battle for 1st).

Now I think any of the three, Central, Nederland and Ozen, could finish 2nd.

I'll say Ozen, for now.

Wholeheartedly agree with almost all of that. I would say either Central or Ozen could finish 2nd but I would guess Ozen as well at this point.  Tough to say without seeing Central without those two.  I would guess Nederland would be a step below in 4th although they might have the best player in the district now with Hayden Hefner.  Cupboard seems a bit bare though for the Bulldogs.  But every year I've thought that, they've been better than I expected largely due to outstanding coaching imo.   So saying 2nd is wide open among those three is certainly reasonable.   But like you, it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where Memorial doesn't win district.  I doubt they lose more than that he one district game.

Central by far will surprise a lot of people. The kid from Nederland is good but not even close to being the best kid in the district. I think that's very disrespectful and bias to even make that assumption. It was two kids from that district that was all region. Dill and Wesley.The PA kid Wesley is a player. Great size and could shoot it as well. Hefner is not ready to put a team on his back just yet. Maybe in time yes , but not now. You know your good not by just having good games. But having good effective games with great efficiency when teams game plan to stop you. Don't know if he's seen that yet and if he's ready for it. Kasen Harrision will be the guy at central for the next three years. The sky's the limit for him. Don't get caught up in the so called offers. All offers aren't real. The kid from Bush ( Ettienne ) had two offers as a freshman. Kansas state and Texas tech. I know the family well and let's just say he could attend those schools right now if he offered to pay for half. Memorial is definitely the team to beat. The rest of the positions will be filled by coaching. Ozens coach is in his first year, Central coach has had great talent and never really HAD to coach, and this is familiar for English. So the man who gets the most with less should win 2nd place. So don't count English out either. But all in all it should be an interesting year. I can't wait.

Pa Memorial will destroy everyone , central , ozen and Nederland will all compete for 2nd and the rest will be begging to get 5th place . I heard someone say Livingston would make play offs, probably the funniest thing I've heard all year . They have one player on their team the junior G Kyler Franklin kids a beast will probably average 20 points but can't carry that team full of nobodies to playoffs . PNG has no basketball talent whatsoever and lumberton will be fairly decent probably taking the 5th seed . We won't even mention vidor

      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.
