  1. Well, there are two options that would probably be a better fit for the offense. Scott Middleton, and Karrion Morrisey. More than likely, Middleton. He's just a more physical guy than bolton, and a lot bigger, not knocking tyler, just Middleton is probably the better fit.

    Both teams hit the ball pretty evenly the second game, just the top of the seventh killed BC. But kudos to them for not giving up more than two runs in that inning.

    Its a little early to throw this coaches name in with those already mentioned but I have to give some credit to Mike Bickham of Jasper. He is really turning the program around for the better and now Jasper is even MORE competitive. Jasper usually is a team that when they are down they give up but this past year Jasper played ball to the very end and the defense was solid. Just got to get that offense rolling a little more but I'm excited to see what Coach Bickham does. Go Dogs.

    It is a little early to be throwing him in there with Alvarez and Hooks (btw Hooks is my choice) but he has done a great job with the kids there. Last year they didnt just have any amazing spectacular athletes, but he implemented a system that played to their strengths and it obviously worked pretty well. A couple of more years, and a few playoff runs and he can definetly be considered.

    The year Jasper won sate their ace didn't even pitch at the state tournament.  I don't know that they have the depth on this club that was on that one, but they do have 3 or 4 quality pitchers now.

    Depth yes, as good of quality of depth no. Alvis was impressive against Crockett and Burleson is also pretty solid. And going back to the "out of control" statement about sowell, I think that is a little justifiable, he wasnt hitting his spots, but you can bet that wont happen much. Sowell is good.
  5. The last three games the dogs have played a little sloppy, I agree. But I can't complain because a playoff win, is a playoff win. That said, I have no doubt that the dogs can clean it up and be the great team that they are capable of. The top of the lineup is stacked, the pitching is pretty deep, and the fielding is pretty good as well. Jasper will close this out tomorrow night, and move on to the next round. Go dogs!

    Come on... There is a HUGE difference between the boys and the ladies. Just look at the Griner girl @ Baylor. She gets how many blocks a game just because she can get up near/above 10'. Every state champ has multiple kids who can play above the rim(4a/5a probably all of them) and run the floor too. I agree the Uconn coach could put his girls in positions to score some points, but they would lose to every state champ. Now could they beat many boys teams? yes. State champs, NO!!

    1a teams with alot of players playing above the rim? I dont think so. Theres a difference between being able to dunk and playing above the rim. Lebron plays above the rim, the kids in the dunk contest the other night play above the rim. NONE of the state champions have multiple guys who can play like that. You dont think the women can run the floor? They score like 90 points a game.

    Starting five for UCONN
    Maya Moore 6'
    Tina Charles 6'4
    Tiffany Hayes 5'10
    Caroline Doty 5'10
    Kalana Green 5'10

    Two bench players 6'2 or taller

    Lubbock Estacado 5 leading Scorers
    Kevin Wagner 5'8
    Clarence Willard 6'2
    Ti Russel 6'3
    Ryheim Hunter n/a
    Barry Johnson 5'10

    Looks to me they match up pretty well

    you take two fairly evenly sized teams, and give one of those teams a HUGE advantage in atheticism, speed, rebounding, and strength, and they're going to be the favorite to win.  Sure UCONN will have the better coach, but they wouldn't be able to hang with a really good HS boys' team.

    People were saying this last year about new waverly and ponder, Ponder was NOWHERE near as athletic as nw, didnt have the same size, and couldnt run out of sight, or jump up on a curb.......But what was the outcome of that game?
