So is United going to be pretty good?  I know there were some "new school growing pains" in football but Central/Ozen always had some hoopers.  Are they going to be ok?

They will be in the regional tournament. Where they go from there will be determined on how well they can shoot from distance and share the ball. They will also be getting a player back from an injury later possibly, who I believe is there best player.

I think one started the game that I was at vs Silsbee but I'm going to try and confirm some names.  Maybe one of the other posters like Blackmamba has some information...

Don’t wanna sound like an a— Yes I do know but they are kids and I will not shame them on this board and neither should any other adult on here.  They decided it wasn’t for them so let them be basketball isn’t the end or beginning #Peace

And to speak further on that topic not just on that situation all Hs coaches need to stop lying to kids you know from day 1 who you want on your team be upfront with these young men because this isn’t like the old days when kids wanted to be part of the team. KIDS WANT TO PLAY &  PARENTS WANT THEM TO AS WELL. So you have countless transfers and kids quitting. You cannot carry over 14 kids my number is 13 but your top 8-9 may play with the rest getting blow out minutes. No way on earth can you carry 15+ kids and try to implement that formula in 32 minutes.  I told ppl a long time ago kids will quit when they figure out they won’t get playing time some of yalll called me crazy but having been doing summer ball for 10+ years you see it happens every week and it carries over to Hs ball.

Bro I didn't call any names and wasn't.  I agree, they are kids.  I was just stating that 3 had quit and from what I was told tonight, probably more soon.

I'm  not on the boys basketball thread much so it wasn't me.  I agree with your post that anything more than 12 is too many in my opinion.  Be upfront, don't lie to them...

There is no way I'd suit up more than 10... maybe 12 or so in a tournament.  Those coaches need to not lead those kids on into thinking they're anything more than they aren't.  Take the best 10 or so that have the best chance of contributing to the varsity one day according to what the varsity coach likes to do and send the rest of them to offseason.

    • 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. 
    • 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.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • 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.
