1. Bird 2. Magic/Jordan 3. Hakeem the Dream 4. West 5. Pistol Pete As you can see, I am more of on old school kinda of guy.  Back when you had all around skills; shoot, pass, DEFENSE, and played TEAM first.  IMO todays players are PLAYER first, team second.  "what can i do to get paid?"  The players that get all the press now are the ones that can jump out of the gym and dunk the ball every which way. My reason for Bird was his overall skill set.  He can shoot, He can pass (made all his teammates better), play defense, and what i like the most is he wasn't afraid to go after the ball.  When is the last time you saw any of todays "superstars" dive after a ball?  Basically I feel like today's players are a bunch of prima donnas, spoiled #ss, play for the money-not the love, and selfish.  That is why i find the NBA unwathcable.  For passion, i prefer HS and College BBall.

in my opinion, it comes down to the school.  The schools mentioned that have the year round "football" training (WOS & BHill) are known for the continued success in football, not basketball.  I know they make the playoffs in BBall as well, but when you mention WOS or BHill and ask someone what sport comes to mind, my guess is Football.  HJ has always been a basketball school.  Ktze and Silsbee are also Bball schools, with Silsbee having success in football.  I can't speak to the PE schedule now days, but we had athletic PE and in that time period, you worked on whatever sport you played.  If you played multiple sports (like most do in small schools) you focused on the sport that was in season.  My senior year, i think we had 3 or 4 guys played football, everyone esle was basketball.  Football failed to reach playoffs and Basketball lost in the Area round. After all that rambling, my point is the successful sport normally dictates how training or scheduling works.

poor kid.  He goes from one of the best times of his life, Prom, to being killed in a car accident.  He was at a school sponsored post prom party.  He was leaving the party and driving home in Missouri (sp) City.  Best wishes to his family and team.

I understand the issue with early deadlines, but what does that have to do with the BE Online.  That lacks up to date sports talk.  It is just my opinion, but it lacks basic overall sports coverage.  National, state, and local sports should take up more than 4 or 5 pages.

i think he overall quality of the paper has declined in the last 20 years.  I now live in Houston and the Chronicle has also started to drop in quality.  When i want info on SE Texas sports, i found this web site to be the best tool.  With all of the active participants posting scores, you really get tons of info.  The BE is not likely to have info on smaller schools, but you can get on hear and get info on a Sabine Pass/High Island baseball game. 

Some feathers are ruffled way to easy. Sure options 1-4 would be nice, but is it realistic?  I bet any team in SE Texas would take only 4 losses. But if that 4th loss is in bi district, it really doesn't matter.

Day 1 was awesome! Don't know if I can handle another one like it, but I'll give it a shot.

Final score?

Scores? Need some numbers and time left please.

Scores?

In the 3rd or the game?

Need some numbers

Sounds like Madison will get the Gold and Silsbee will get the "atta boy".  if this was the finals, at least they would get the silver.  Good run. Way to fight back.

keep it coming Fan, keep it coming.

what happened to the updates?  down 9 and all of a sudden down 2.  You can do it.

LAZEEK, what happened to Davis?  I figured he would be all over the mic.

coach needs to calm his tigers down.  looks like they are trying to hard, leading to TO's and fouls.  Get it together.

[quote name="Swag" post="775514" timestamp="1268340919"] If P.Heal doesnt calm down hes gonna lose it for Silsbee. Hes playing like hes in Lil Dribblers. Travis need to sit him and calm him down. You have to play team ball against Madison. [/quote] that is the lack of discipline i was talking about in a prior post.

in reading the post, it sounded like Silsbee was knocking down the free throws.  Is Madison trying to win it with 3's vs down low?

Fan, you are the man.  keep them coming. 

darn work IT dept.  Can't listen to the game.  Can someone post scores from time to time?

based on what i heard on the broadcast, the refs were not the reason for the defeat.  Sounds like Spurger's (one of) top scorer was shut down to 0.  Even if he was hot, still doesn't sound like Spurger would have won.  The other team just sounds to strong.

so much for my Spurger pick.

someone needs to tell Coach Davis to stop talking.  I know this is his radio debut, but ease up.  Let the pro do his job.

That's funny.  Damn funny.
