I wonder how Yates 7th and 8th graders do each year.  Oh yeah.......they are usually in different districts at that grade................stupid me ;)

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1172882" timestamp="1328549235"] I remember Ivan"Tuffy" Williams from Cleveland and all those Jackson brothers from Livingston. Bobby, Shannon, and Johnny! [/quote] I played at HJ and that was when we were in the 4a district with that cleveland team, livingston, and silsbee.  That was a total joke.  Ivan dunked on me 5 times in 2 games(i did light em up for 30 one night) however the kid from livingston was literally stupid.  The guy dunked almost every play!

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1172715" timestamp="1328534362"] true that....he sure was. they also had another guy around the same year as Mcgee from WOS....he was the point guard i believe. he had real skinny legs with no muscle def. but could flat get up.....seen him dunk two balls at the same time. [/quote] You are exactly right!

Our golf match would be like Yates vs. Buna!

Being left out is I believe maybe the best dunker is Southeast Texas basketball history.  One Norris "Scoobie" McGee from West Orange Stark.  He was a football player but this guy could flat out fly!

Who cares!!!!!  You play the game and you learn life lessons.  Life lesson number one is sometimes you get whipped and whipped badly.

Dickie.......since I was unable to attend last night I hope I get the chance to say hello in the playoffs sometime!

Yates plays 10 guys without much drop off!

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1169658" timestamp="1328111250"] In addition if you think that HJ is a two man show, then once again, you are WAY OFF...The Johnson kid (#3) is as good as any in the entire area..Maybe some of you guys should write some notes down BEFORE you post, look at it, and if it sounds crazy...reconsider.... ::) [/quote] You are spot on Dickie V.  However, if we would have made a bunch of noise when the first player rankings came out about him not being on there we would catch 9 kinds of hell because we are "homers."

You have about five different debates going at one time. Remember that this is about the 27 game district winning streak that Nederland currently has. You are bringing up all of these other years, which have no relevance to the debate at hand. If we stick to the facts, it suggests that Nederland would still have their win streak alive. [/quote] It is VERY relevant, because some of you act as if you have forgotten what Boutte has done here! NO...Nederland would not have won 27 games in a row had he still been at Ozen...NO WAY.. 8) [/quote] According to the facts presented here today, there is no evidence suggesting that Nederland's 27 game winning streak would not be what it is today regardless if Boutte was the coach or not. In the past 2 seasons during this streak, Ozen has not had the talents of: K. Perkins Keenan Young Brandon Chappel Willie Jefferson DeCarlos Franks Since Ozen has been 'down' over the past two season, like they were in 2004, Nederland would still have a 27 game district winning streak. I am not disregarding what Boutte did during his time, it was amazing. Nobody on this thread has said differently. But during his ONE down year, VIDOR swept them 3-0. For the 4th time, the kind of talent Ozen has now was just the same in 2004, when Coach E's team went 3-0 against Boutte. The same would happen with this Ozen team. [/quote] Those are facts!

Both are great coaches and I don't think either would x and o either to death.  Boutte does not have the experience of coaching kids as weak as English has had in past years so who knows what he would do with those type of kids.

Dickie has this topic nailed IMHO!

Agree again Dickie!

Love that post Dickie!

This is such a controversial topic I would love to hear everyone's opinions.  First question is what is a big lead?  I never blame a coach for playing guys if a game is within 20 points or so. When it is 30 is when I wonder to myself.  Before you say oh yeah your from HJ we know what your opinion will be, hold on. I played on an HJ team in 1998 and we were 4A for 2 years and we were totally out manned.  We were beat by 50 or 60 at Silsbee and I never had a problem with it then and I don't now. The only time I ever have a problem with coaches playing starters in the 4th quarter is if there is less than 2 minutes left and you are up 20 plus or up 30 plus going in to the 4th and you press.  With that said you have coaches who love to press to work on the specifics of it.  Then there is another school of thought.  When you put the backups in do you expect those guys to not press or play the hard defense they do every day in practice.  They deserve to be able to go in there, work hard, and make plays.  I know the team out of Houston caught all kinds of hell a couple of years back for this and I never had a problem with. I think intensity is a mentality and the second you let up your players may quit buying in to it. I guess my bottom line is I never have a problem with continuing to play hard in the 4th quarter.

It's really bad!  8) [/quote] Y'all should have an electrician look into fixing it...just a couple million $$$ and I sure it could be fixed right up. [/quote] That was funny I don't care who you are!!!!!

Matchups mean less than who comes to play that night IMHO!

Ozen's schedule must be weak?

I have played in several events that would be considered big stages in the country and world and I have been to even more.  Nothing more I love than a good silsbee vs HJ game. 

Give credit where credit is due.  Jasper played great and Silsbee pulled one of there playoff flops.  Wasn't just a one hit wonder for Jasper.  Silsbee helped out alot!

AAW.......was one of the players they lost one of the two really good kids or not?

Two things can likely be taken from this.  La Vega is really good and Mexia is not near as good as they were.  You can look at other scores and tell that Mexia is clearly down from where they were last year.

Silsbee being ranked that low shows you how little these polls mean!
