[/quote] Put a stack on it an I'm talkin dollars [/quote] YOu didnt do it and you cant prove that you did so the "stack of dollars" comments is just bluster.

[quote name="Stephen A Smith" post="1359172" timestamp="1356722816"] What u fail to realize I've seen every known team in Setx this year more then 4 times this year an what u are capable of doing an doing when the light are on is a difference An u can't tell Me Elam,Holmes,Thomas,Reed,Jackson,Wilson,Dobbins Wouldn't start on Westbrook,Memorial,Nederland,Ozen,Central,H-J,Kountze FYI the best and most versatile big man is Zeno from WB So don't argue with facts just except it an live with it [/quote] I can tell you confidently that if those kids were at HJ, only three could possibly start because they would not take positions from Johnson and Bosha.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1359169" timestamp="1356722361"] Inner-city Houston schools have really gone down in basketball competition....smh [/quote] Why has that happened Dove?  Would this mean that all of their good players are going to Yates?

Housing  not a problem.  Plenty of government programs to get u out of paying for one or for getting you a new one without the ability to pay for it

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1358993" timestamp="1356664457"] I knew there was a good explanation for HJ beating Longview ;D  I was telling a friend at the game how the Longview coaching style was a good match for his team. Didn't do a lot of over coaching and let his team play [/quote] What is the good explanation Dove?  The same players played for Longview against Central as they did against HJ.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1359012" timestamp="1356667996"] [quote author=BADSANTA link=topic=100336.msg1358980#msg1358980 date=1356662633] Yates isnt as good as u think they are Bluedove. They are better than moat 3A teams but I think a team from 213A will upset them. [/quote]Yates is not as good as in the past, I agree. But Yates is still above most public schools in Texas. Yates can match Silsbee's speed AND they are big and athletic. It is what it is!! [/quote] Why arent they as good as in the past?  Did some recruits slip away?

[quote name="CATMAN" post="1358983" timestamp="1356662747"] HF vs LaPoynor  is next.  3A AND A IA ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D [/quote] It really doesnt matter about the classification Catman.  When it was mentioned that several 4a and 5a schools played in the HJ tourney (won by HJ) it was suggested that none of those teams were any good ( one of which was Longview who Central beat today by 3 and HJ beat by 17).  Most of the schools at the Aransas Pass tourney were also larger division schools and the answer then was the same- bigger schools but not very good.  So if HJ plays a good small school, it is a bigger school taking advantage of the smaller school and if HJ beats a bigger school, it is because the bigger school they played was no good (even though Nederland and Longview have considerably larger enrollments and play in higher divisions)

There are no circumstances under which Yates can be beat.  Even though they won by the same margin as Central won by in their recent game against Ozen, the following was stated by the same individual. 1..  The Yates - Kingwood Park game was never in doubt. 2.  Ozen could have beaten Central.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1358960" timestamp="1356660325"] You could tell Longview had their football players back ;) [/quote] Yep, you are right.  You could tell the same thing when they beat Humble in overtime and then lost to HJ in the finals of the HJ tourney where only the "weak play".

I am sure that there will now be some way to say that they were no good when the played HJ but a pretty solid team when they played Central.  Right Dove?

I heard that 5 dayton seniors all quit the team at the same time.  Dont know whether or not that is true but I do remember seeing them last year and thinking they had a bright future.

[quote name="dogs1218" post="1358789" timestamp="1356626969"] No  ??? Man, you sure like read between the lines a lot.. It's a simple statement. [b]You can play in bigger tournaments to prepare for district, or play in smaller ones for more games and playing time.[/b][/quote] And both methods have their advantages.

Would that mean that you are better qualified to select who they play and how they schedule than the coaching staff is?

Hj 69 dayton 32-  I guess this means that HJ has the ability to pick its opponents in other schools tourneys?

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="1358759" timestamp="1356619589"] Longview is 11-12 with a 20 ponit loss to barbers hill and a 15 point loss to lufkin [/quote] Longview is considerably different team with their football players.  I was told they were 0-7 when they came to the HJ tourney.  If they are 11-12 now, that would mean they are 11-5 since getting the football players.  I am pretty sure the two losses you mention are before the football players joined the team.

Sutherland was there just as always

As difficult as it is, since this is that special time of the year,, I must wish my half brother, Da Dove a Happy Holiday Season ( note the liberal leaning omission of Christ) in this greeting.

That is actually Bluedove in his younger years.

I think he meant they played a pretty close game in the same tourney last year

I have no choice but to respond with:  I predict that Central will win the tourney- if they do not win it, they will advance further in the tourney than the Panthers

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1358502" timestamp="1356361555"] I predict Central *WILL NOT* win James Gamble  8) [/quote] If you are confident enough that Central wont win, surely you are confident enough to name who will be the tourney champ?

No need to IM you.  I saw every second of the game. 

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1358411" timestamp="1356304487"] [/quote] So, stating that the Hawks had an unusually poor shooting performance is being a sore loser? ( If you look around on this board, there are many instances where a supporter offers his or her thoughts on what contributed to a teams loss.  Are they all "sore losers" as well?)  What do you call it when someone spreads "untruths" about the players on the opposing team?
