Boogy1000

From what I am hearing, the “tampering with governmental records” is only the start of his legal troubles.  Apparently, he was also very “friendly”with the girls during his time at Hillcrest.  I might be cynical but I have a suspicion this happens way more often than we know about.  

This kid is a flat out stud.  The top time in the WORLD in 2018 is 9.97 this year in the 100.  This young man could compete on a world level right now.  Just wait until he really gets specialized training.  I can’t wait to cheer this young man on in the Olympics.  

As a matter of fact he started the state title game as a sophomore as well.

Barnes didn’t come off the bench in basketball,  he was a starter this year and a large part of last year including the state title game.  Jones actually came in off the bench in many of those games including the state game.

And here we go. I say he started games, you say he didn’t start any games in basketball. You are trying to down play the accomplishment of one to build up another. Fact of the matter is six gold and two silver are better than two gold and two silver. Kalon will be playing football and running track at Baylor. 

Since last September, I've experienced these 'wow' moments from Barnes:
- Caught a punt and a kickoff on a bounce (in the same game) and ran them both back for touchdowns)
- Beat a 6'10" center for the opening tip in the state basketball tournament. Barnes is 6'3".
- Played center for said basketball team because he was the most athletic player on a team that includes three future D1 players.
- Left the field in the dust in the 100, while breaking a state record. The 200 was a breeze as well, which is incredible at a state event.
And I know I'm missing some more. He's the best athlete I've seen since being in SETX. I wrote a couple weeks ago about how he could be the area's next Olympian and I still believe that.

I do not know of any other athlete coming out of high school in SETX that is more accomplished than Kalon Barnes. Six gold metals, two silver metals. Anyone else want to step up to the table? 

Mark Henry from Silsbee was one of the best athletes from SETX

Has to be right there at the top of the list!!
one question...was he all district basketball as a freshman??

Gonna miss Barnes all the way around.  You can't keep them forever.  Oh well.  In terms of basketball I didn't see how they were going to replace Willie Jones III the the season before, but they did.  So I am partially leaning on that as I contemplate a 3 peat.
