LCM is in sole possession of 3rd place at the moment correct? 

Good win for Coach Mitchell & the Raiders 

Great job Coach Jeffcoat & those Battlin Bears

Seems like for 3 years he's been a decoy, as a SR I would think they would let him loose. 

Last year Memorial at Ned:  Hefner 21 pts, 7 rebs, 5 assists & 6 blocked shots.

If Nederland wins, it will be because other players stepped up to the challenge.  They have the pieces to do it.  Should be a great game.

So you are telling a high school coach to make sure he has players that can shoot? U do realize he only has the players that are available to him right? He doesn’t offer scholarships lol this is comical

It’s called development.  What all HS coaches should be attempting to do for their players.  Tell me.  What does “stall ball” do for player development?

I blame the offense.  Good coaches teach their teams how to play against multiple styles of play.  A team sitting in zone is no less playing basketball than a team in man.  Holding the ball for quarters at a time isn't playing at all and it's non-competitive.  Saying that we're not good enough to score against zone so we're not even going to try sends the wrong message.  Especially in preseason/tournament games when you should be working on this stuff.

However, I think there are situations where it's wise like holding the ball for the last shot of the quarter.  I also like how Lincoln used to do it.  They'd hold it, draw the defense out, and then carve it up.  None of this dribble in and dribble back out crap.  Compete!

Amen.

The question that you people who love this game so much are missing is. Why do you think one team is allowed to “stall“? Well I’ll answer it for you. It’s 100% because the opponent refuses to play man to man defense. “Stall ball” would be obsolete without teams sitting in zones. Since we want to outlaw “stall ball” should we outlaw zones as well??? So who do we blame for “stall ball” the offense or the defense? Before you judge someone please become knowledgeable of what you are talking about. 

That’s a silly argument.   Overseas leagues (18u & under) use a shot clock.  This promotes player development.  10 US states have joined in as well.  Time for Texas to do the same.  Princeton had no problem controlling tempo back in the 80’s with a 45 sec clock.  If u don’t like zone defense, learn to shoot.  

A 45 sec shot clock would do wonders for HS basketball.   45 sec is PLENTY of time to control pace, yet still play basketball.  Nobody goes to a game to see a team sit at 1/2 court & hold the hall for 4 minutes or longer.   Play basketball.  Other states have already instituted the shot clock with great success, as well as youth academies overseas.  

That’s exactly why HS needs a shot clock.  Don’t learn the game playing stall ball 

Any updates

Silsbee suited out

 

4 Sr 2 Jr 2 Sophomore 4 Freshman 

And BC started 4 underclassmen.  What’s your point?  You’re best player (by far) is a senior.   BC will be the favorite in this game next year at BC.   

Love it.  Great job Mustangs 

I thought transferring schools for athletic purposes was illegal? 🤷‍♂️

How long is it gonna take to change the game? Silsbee wanting to know.  

What does Silsbee have coming back?

Orangefield lost a few good players, but with Val Catt having more experience under his belt, I’m confident they’ll still be a force.

He coming back?  If so, Orangefield will be a force. 

Not sure why an “out of the area” coach would be more qualified than an “in the area” coach.” I think they will make a quality hire.  And congrats to Coach Abel.  Heck of a basketball coach   

Interviews are today I think.

that is a gravy job.............

??? Gravy in what way???

Seems the accuser is on trial here.  Hopefully a false claim & gets cleared up.  Good luck. 

Don’t matter who turn them in.  Only matters if UIL policy was broken.  

Well what’s the word???

1st team to lose a game & go undefeated.  Impressive.  The dogs have a really good team & seem well-coached.  What is your issue with the coach dadofbulldog?  He must be doing something right?
