[/quote] I didn't say Yates recruited  ;D [/quote] You may not have said it but you know it.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1290280" timestamp="1349365149"] This is major if The DEC votes against the transfers. You're talking about prime [s]time[/s]...err rib 100% real beef recruits here. Too bad HJ isn't in that region. It would have given their program some hope ;D [/quote] According to you, only the above named team and Yates have any chance/hope, so why confine your comments to lowly HJ who doesnt even play real basketball?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1290009" timestamp="1349311341"] More on this ridiculous mess with PP: [Hidden Content] interesting part of the article: The District 11-3A Executive Committee also met Wednesday to consider eligibility of Prime Prep's entire basketball team... and what a team it would be — made up of some of the nation’s top college recruits, many of them transferring (along with their coach) from one of the top teams in the country last year, Arlington Grace Prep. To be eligible to play this year, they would have to move into the Dallas ISD attendance zone and could not be recruited. Sanders insists they all transferred legitimately. Committee members expressed doubts. "When I see a whole basketball team transition to another school along with their coach? Now let's talk about the kids, because I'm going to have to go back to Ferris and I'm going to have to tell my kids what's going on,” said Ferris High School head football coach Aaron Emeyabbi. The committee later inspected, then rejected, every one of Sanders' basketball transfer forms, sending them back for proof of proper residency. Like I said, I will be very surprised if PP plays a varsity basketball schedule this year. [/quote] What a shame.  An innocent group who so scrupulously adhered to  all the rules and still got the shaft.

[/quote] Really?  My son didn't tell me he had out of state colleges looking at him. [/quote] That's because if he gets a free ride he figures he can buy a brand new car with what you have saved for his college years.

THis could possibly be the first time Dove was wrong about something. ( if we dont count the predicted 2012 state title for the Longhorns)

[quote name="Team Game" post="1282488" timestamp="1348677865"] i would think the biggest reward for this game being played at a larger site would be getting inside the door to actually watch the game. Especially for anyone that had to leave work early or not go to work at all just to have the opportunity to watch their team play. It drove me crazy not making it to the game in Silsbee last year. Although I was thankful that I could listen to the game, I would have much rather have been inside watching it. I made sure to be at HJ to get in line at 3:00. [/quote] Very good point.  This should alleviate that problem and nobody needs to get there any earlier than they would for any other district game.  From my perspective, it looks like a decision that was made in full consideration of the fans.

[/quote] My next question is: How much /many entitlements are being given towards this event? [/quote] Not sure.  How many need to be given in order to make things "fair"?

That one is almost as good as your reference to Carney at the bottom of each post.

[quote name="ST413" post="1281851" timestamp="1348599807"] Basketball coaches have passed on the 'weak ' scheduling philosophy to the football coaches! [/quote] I think the schedule has been pretty much the same for a number of years.  Dont get me wrong, I am the last one who would declare that HJ suddenly is a football powerhouse.  At the same time, the consensus was that this year would provide them with only 1 win.  Therefore, they are a couple ahead of the predicitions and any other wins would be "gravy".  I do know that a number of teams will take them lightly and that would be understandable.  It would appear that the HJ weak basketball schedule has not done much damage to them. 

One more question about those two powerhouse Silsbee teams, Santa.  How did they do in the playoffs?
