Let's cut to the bone here. The real reason why Arthur was hired was because BISD did not want to let any current assistants go. They told applicants that they could not bring in their own staff. If hired, they had to work with the current assistant coaching staff. Most legit applicants then decided to withdraw their applications leaving BISD only a select few to hire from. I will be curious to see what happens with this hire. Will someone outside be hired and will he be allowed to fill his own staff?

Well, I decided a few years ago to not rank individual players. Not worth the grief that comes with it. I will leave those things to the experts (aka Jim Hicks, Doug Jones, etc.). I am asked privately all the time to rank players on this site but I refuse to go down that rabbit hole. I will gladly talk to you privately (face to face) and tell you my thoughts on who is in my top 5. Again, I have no problem ranking teams. Players? Heck no!!

Jeff Nelson

I would say he would be in the conversation. I have seen him play and he is legit. Leggett has played up all season.

Very much agree. When there is a struggle to get someone to run the clock on a weekly basis and now you are needing a second person to run a shot clock, well good luck with that.

Good for him.

Hardin 36 Warren 45

Kid that was shot died this morning

and since we are talking about scorers, then one would have to add Buckley of Shelbyville and Doucette of LC-M to the list.

Player was just mentioned (Perkins for Leggett) and Ceasar for East Chambers. Did not know that Perkins was averaging more than 30 though. Also Collins for Jasper and #10 for Huffman averages more than those 4 players you listed.

I know 2 players not on this list that scores more points than #2-5

Harmony 31 Hempstead 83

Shelbyville 80 Joaquin 44

For career points Bush passed Darryl McArthur. McArthur played for Silsbee from 1983-1986. Started all four years on varsity, was a 3 time all state player and a McDonald's All American his senior year. Bush is currently averaging 38 points a game. I am not aware of any other player in Southeast Texas that is averaging over 30 points a game.

Here are my rankings for Jan. 12: (note: small school rankings reflect an assumed Diboll win over Hemphill. Reverse the two if Hemphill won) 6A-4A 1. North Shore 2. United 3. PA Memorial 4. West Brook 5. Lufkin Hudson 6. Silsbee 7. Nederland 8. Hardin-Jefferson 9. Huffman 10. Crosby 11. Jasper 12. Texas City 13. Barbers Hill 14. Carthage 15. Galveston Ball 3A-Private 1. Shelbyville 2. Tenaha 3. Coldspring 4. Big Sandy 5. Garrison 6. East Chambers 7. Diboll (or Hemphill) 8. Hemphill (or Diboll) 9. San Augustine 10. Leggett 11. Hempstead 12. Buna 13. West Hardin 14. Anderson-Shiro 15. Kountze

Also needing today's district game result of Houston Harmony/Hempstead.

Pleasant Grove/Carthage canceled

In real need of getting results for those first four games listed since they are district games. Personally would like to know the result of the PG/Carthage game so that I can do my rankings.

thanks

Need results for these games from Friday, Jan 10.: Hemphill at Diboll Baytown Christian at Orange Community Christian Hull-Daisetta at Brookeland Fred Good Samaritan at Spurger Port Arthur Tekoa at High Island

Happen to have a Harmony/Hempstead score?

Nope. They are staying 4A

He was not there. Out of town.

I agree. Most times the "holding the ball" is to draw the defense out of a zone. I simply see it as an offensive strategy. Nothing wrong with that.
