[/quote] Nah, your response is recognition enough. It really doesn't have a thing to do with me....just the lads.....got your attention..... [/quote] I will say it sure was nice to hang out on the football boards for an extra 3 weeks tho ;-D Wouldn't it be nice if that became a habit :-D [/quote] I think that we're really close to seeing it come to fruition. Playoffs two of three years and really should have gone in 2008. Most of the team back next (especially defense). Now, I just want to see the basketball team get back to the levels of acheivement I know it can reach and [b]I think we have the right coach to do it with[/b]. [/quote] I too think you have a good coach in Coach Larry Sterling and he should do good things with that program. With that said, there was nothing wrong with the coach you had in Zach Quinn. I have always been impressed with Zach and was really taken aback when he decided to get out of coaching so soon. But, I cannot blame him for trying to move up that administrative ladder. He obviously has bigger aspirations than just being a basketball coach and kudos to him for making that step forward. I still wouldn't mind seeing Zach back coaching somewhere.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1134241" timestamp="1322568703"] Hmmm..  Our first round oponent in the YMBL tourney.  Nice win. [/quote] Yep, and if you don't stop this guy: Danuel House 32 points against La Porte it will be a first round loss for the Jags. ;)

FB Hightower 86, LaPorte 63. (HHS: Danuel House 32, Krisen Chatarpal 17, Terrell Scruggs 14, Phillip Harris 10)

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1134002" timestamp="1322528316"] Face it, kids in Sour Lake would rather play basketball than football. [b]When I look at the talent on the basketball court, I see 4 or 5 guys who could have easily helped that football program[/b]. A few more skill players, they could competed in a few games. HJ's football program knows that in order for them to have a good team the have to convince the talent in their hall ways to play more than one sport. [/quote] Funny you mention this. Tonight, I spoke with a few coaches at the Montagne Center after the YMBL press conference and they wanted to know why the Prudhome kid never played football for HJ. We all agreed that he is a very good basketball player, one that will probably play JC or small college basketball, which is fine. But all of us thought this kid could be a DI caliber receiver and could possibly name his school had he played football in high school. Great athlete, but most feel he could have been amazing on the football field. I said the same about Silsbee's DC Stallworth.

Final WOS    99 Kelly      71 WOS  (4-0) Kelly  (0-3)

2:23 left WOS    92 Kelly    65 WOS with a nice alley oop dunk!!

4:56 left in game WOS      82 Kelly      60

end of 3rd WOS        68 Kelly        55

3:30 left in 3rd WOS      60 Kelly      45 and yes, Kelly has 3 freshmen on varsity, 2 start. But that will probably change when football ends.

[/quote]First of all, you giving props to a Houston player? WOW! And, he's an AAU player? Wow! But please don't rate dunks. Stick to football [/quote] I wasn't rating any dunk. Just posted the clip for the enjoyment of the forum. Oh, and I made sure the title was about the team rankings, not individual player rankings. ;)

Why all the negative comments?

[quote name="PoppaBearstarr" post="1133725" timestamp="1322509593"] We are only a back seat to the perennial favorites the Silsbee Tigers, You said it yours self, the match up between HJ and Silsbee has become too lopsided... [/quote] Exactly. But HJ could lose to Silsbee in district and still win state. ;)

Is this game being played? Please post if you have any knowledge of this game being played or not. Would like to attend this game since I will be in Beaumont this evening for the YMBL press conference at the Montagne.

[/quote] HJ should win state. ;) ;D

[quote name="stevenash" post="1133689" timestamp="1322507749"] 3-a showing Estacado and Mexia with0-1 records.  Anybody know who either of these teams lost to? [/quote] Mexia lost to 4A Jacksonville 68-42. HJ will be playing this Jacksonville team on Dec. 17th in Huntington. I plan to be there for that game. Estacado lost to a 5A team.

[quote name="utfan06" post="1133661" timestamp="1322505840"] See u there... we will se how H-F handles the press.. [/quote] Sort of like how Kountze handles Silsbee and HJ's press. ;)

[quote name="utfan06" post="1133660" timestamp="1322505768"] Lol I'm pretty sure Spurger isn't good at all this year [/quote] You would be wrong. Spurger is a decent team. nothing like they were the last few years, but okay. SA is for real.

[quote name="utfan06" post="1133657" timestamp="1322505597"] Kountze should win it.. lol H-F should be the only team if any to give kountze a game [/quote] If HF can use it's size advantage, they can give Kountze a very tough game. I will be broadcasting this game Thursday night.

BTW, TABC has HJ at 6-0. When did the Hawks sneak in 3 more games? ;) ::)

[quote name="bulldogbacker" post="1133599" timestamp="1322501829"] [quote author=vp32 link=topic=92332.msg1133582#msg1133582 date=1322500769] I'll tell you what needs to happen. Both teams need to be disqualified from there next games. For Ozen that's next years first game and for La Marque that's the game with Manvel. Now that may not happen but its what needs to happen. [/quote] that is a great idea.... [/quote] Not so sure that is a great idea. Seems a bit unfair. Big difference in forfeiting a non district game versus a Regional championship game. But, something needs to be done in some capacity but I don't see anything really happening to either school.
