Well if you know him like you say you do and he played for your boy then you know how much he is perfectly happy with taking on whatever role that is necessary to win. Unfortunately that role at Tarkington is the one where most kids prefer to stand and watch him and just shoot a three if he creates it for them. You say you were there. How many times did you see other kids handle the ball 1v1 and do something with it. I mean not absolutely panic and turn it over? How many shots did you see the other kids create on their own? They shot 25% on the night, he shot 50%. How many times when HF threw a triple team at him did you see other kids run up to take the ball and relieve pressure?

Gotcha! Love that you’re excited about the thought of Tarkington not making the playoffs. You’ve only been wrong every year about it. I’m guessing the hate is because of the BTA that they put on your favorite school… like when he “took over” and scored 40 on them. Keep hating brother! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I’m guessing #21 is your son based on how strongly you’re defending him — and that’s totally fine. Nobody said he was a bad player. The point is, it’s tough to win big when one guy dominates the ball. I actually know the kid well — he played for my guy this summer. So this isn’t shade, it’s just basketball. Talent needs structure, and winning takes more than one

Unreal. Portland police chief crying because the two suspects shot while reportedly attempting to use their vehicle as a weapon as they fled officers WERE affiliated with Tren de Aragua as stated by DHS. [Hidden Content]

Never been a problem for me. Center is a majority black and white demographic. Vast majority of Hispanic students speak English. Where do you get your information?

Final West Sabine 33 Corrigan 47 Hemphill 28 Chireno 65

Welcome to Carthage’s district.

Center is full of Mexicans. Not saying that is a bad thing. They still speak a lot of Mexican spanish.

I'm not surprised by this. 2 storied programs. [Hidden Content]

Most PG's don't take over 60% of the shots. That's what I meant by "going thru". My and Mamba's point is when they face good teams who are able to control #21, then Tarkington is pretty much dead in the water and no one should be surprised when they lose games to good teams. Maybe I wasn't all that wrong when picking what teams were going to make the playoffs out of this district.😉 We will see.

Alvarez is a proven winner at multiple stops....this is a great hire....absolute ball coach

Why?

He needs to learn spanish.

Interested in the games you’ve seen? He’s the PG, what position does the ball normally go through in your offense?

Actually 33 did not get the tech. #2 got the tech for saying “good call” to the ref while the bigger kid from HF screamed “what the ****” to the ref right in front the stands with his arms out, and nothing. We can agree to disagree on the reffing, nobody ever agrees on the calls. But here’s what I’ll say more games than not, just like last night. Nobody can stay in front of #21 without grabbing and shoving and last night was another example of that. If you like we can review as much game footage as you like. Before every in bounds #2 would have his arms completely wrapped around his waste right in front of the ref. As far as your and AAWs assessment, you should both probably watch more games to fully make that determination. The only way his teammates “want” to be involved in the offense is if he drives and kicks to them. Otherwise nobody else wants to handle the ball. So does the ball go through him a lot, 100% and for the most part his teammates appreciate it. You should see the ball handling when he comes out. Regarding shooting, he’s a 35/50/87% (3/2/ft) shooter, the rest of the team is about 20/40/55% soooo with both of your expert who should take more shots and handle the ball then?

Interesting…

If that is Bay Area they are the absolute worst. I’ve seen some crazy stuff watching games officiated by those guys.

I have to agree with this assessment. From the few games I have seen Tarkington play, it has been all about #21. Each and every possession goes thru him 85-90% of the time. Got to get more players involved.

Yep.
