[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1212345" timestamp="1334793627"] I think "some" folks are taking this thread WAY too seriously. ;) ::) [/quote] Or, perhaps, the one whom it is suggested is taking things too seriously, may actually be playing the same game as Da Dove.

1. It is in 3-A 2. Jack Yates is in 3-A 3. China Springs  enrollment will maintain 3-A status 4. Jack Yates' enrollment dropped to 3-A status 5. China Springs doesn't have enough balls 6. Jack Yates have plenty of balls 7. The road to Austin goes thru Houston Jack Yates Senior High 8.  They are in the same district as LaVega Just wanted to see if the Dove will be as interested in this one as he is in the HJ thread

[quote name="Steven_A_Smith" post="1212022" timestamp="1334756180"] Ok guys I am relatively new to this site.  I continue to read the comments referring to HJ's schedule.  Did they really play that weak of a schedule this past basketball season?  Did they play in the YMBL tournament? [/quote] I think it probably depends on how one defines "weak schedule".
