[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1335986" timestamp="1353248055"] Nope, wasn't coaches fault players got out hustled on rebounds, missed layups, Silsbee guard (s) blowing by Central defenders, etc. [/quote] Disagree.  Either the players arent as good as you originally said they were or they arent being [b]taught[/b] how to deal with what you just described.

[/quote] 53240463] Thank you very much for bringing that up, man.  If 15 kids were suited up, then that means the entire team could have possibly been benched..  BTW, the task of finding a consistent starting is still going on and probably will be until district. [/quote]Good point Souljah! Nash, Central played about 10-14 players. [/quote] Then if you are saying that none of the 14 or 15 players could execute, it would seem to me that it was a coaching issue, Dove.

Really not that interested in any more cliches.  Was curious if you had a response to somebody elses suggestion that either Silsbee is extra good or Central isnt that good. 

Looks like they are gonna need a few more move ins

[/quote] I meant Central  ;) [/quote] Dove- If Central ( who beat Yates) is going to state, surely you have to conclude that Silsbee ( who beat Central) is also going to state?

Where are you , Dove?

Will whoever people focus on have any effect on the outcome of games?

Dove- still standing by your Central in Austin in March prediction?

I think hj will struggle against teams that Play man to man.... they have 2 players that can create their own. Shots with 3 and 12... slow them 2 down and dont turn the ball over you will beat them Als8 I was impressed with 22 kid didnt give kountze any easy buckets [/quote] Very good point [/quote] As previously stated by another poster, most high school teams have 1 or 2 good players.  And, of course, defining what is "good" is another issue.  You dont need more than 1 or 2 who can create their own shot.  I can appreciate the theory of slowing the two top players down and not turn the ball over but all that isnt going to happen simultaneously very often.  If HJ cant handle a man to man defense, it will show up very soon and everybody will start using it against them and they will lose most of their games.  If you stop their two players, it will be with some defensive help and it simply means other players will have scoring opportunities they would otherwise not have.  Brady, you can rest assured that Johnson isnt going to be stopped one on one by anyone in this area and that includes your most preferred team.  He can certainly have an off night but it wont be because someone singlehandedly stops him.  The people of whom you are so confident are going to stop him didnt do it last year and with him having a larger leadership now, I would be willing to bet it wont happen this year.  You look pretty foolish "declaring" that a team that lost a game very convincingly, in every aspect, is somehow the superior team.

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1334047" timestamp="1353126114"] Early signs that HJ's cross country running is paying off. [/quote] ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[quote name="TopDawG52" post="1333591" timestamp="1353120317"] Who is #3 for hj kid can ball... as for kointze I expected them to struggle being so young in the Backcourt [/quote] That # 3 is as good a guard as there is in the area.

[quote name="bradyb" post="1333539" timestamp="1353119581"] Sorry I was wrong. Hj has one great player and 2 good players... Didn't impress me at all. Sorry. Kountze, y'all gotta play better. That was not how y'all play [/quote] If HJ had Lebron and Kobe, you would have said the same thing.  YOur personal bias against is so sadly obvious.  But, the good news is, all the negative comments you make have no effect on the effectiveness of their performance tonight.  And sorry, a margin that substantial is not attributable to someone playing bad.

You cant do that Dove- people might think you and I are friends

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1331628" timestamp="1353021063"] That's what's impressive.  Their so young and have so much upside.  I just want top sit back and observe this group mature as the season goes on. [/quote] Were there more dunks or SMRJs?

There is no doubt that Kountze has a powerhouse this year.

One good player.....lmao [/quote] Lol HJ has several good players...one really good in Bosha... [/quote] I have the feeling that the interaction between the five players on the floor for each team will have more impact on determining the outcome than who has more "good" players.

Very surprised to see Devante JOhnson not listed on that last one.  I think he fits with the named individuals quite comfortably.

I hope I am wrong but I am thinking Kountze is the favorite in this game.

Nederland wins the district -  very few know yet about the 6'9" move in
