AggiesAreWe

I am assuming that this is in no particular order of each district. Why? Is he not allowed to predict a district winner?

Like this is news. Everyone knew that the AG would rule against it. :

Yes, Troup was loaded. They went to the state finals 5 straight years. Here are their results: '90 Lost to Ingram-Moore 73-72 '91 Lost to Abernathy 55-46 '92 Won over Krum 60-40 '93 Won over Amarillo HP 69-49 '94 Lost to Krum 56-45

That's him!!! Greg Austin, he was a stud for sure.

I remember that Troup team. Jasper was a biggen inside. The '6"5 swingman was the man though. I'll remember his name before the day is up. He could fill it up.

I thought that was the game that I was thinking about. After looking over the scores that Nos posted, it was the Hardin game that I remembered. 166-51!!!!! Bullets talking about us averaging 26 points a quarter then scoring 32 in the fourth. HJ averaged over 40 a quarter in that game!

Thanks, Nos. I do have a question for you. How in the world did Troup and Barbers Hill keep you guys under 60 points? ;D btw, you guys see that 151-44 score?

Oh, I am quite sure there was criticism. Glass houses.

There is no point to this, Joey. It's just the media wanting to shed some more tears over this. :

See, I thought I was correct on that. I just couldn't remember who they beat but I knew it was around 100 points. Actually 107! I am almost positive it was at Hardin and that was the game that Isabell had 50 points!!!! Now see, you got folks on here being criticle about our game when in this one, a single player had double the points as the opposing team had!!

Yeah! Baby needs a new pair of shoes!!!

See, I thought I was correct on that. I just couldn't remember who they beat but I knew it was around 100 points. Actually 107!

Silsbee will not score 100 in this game, trust me on that one. Silsbee takes this one, 79-60.

Nothing but pure jealousy!!!! Teams like Silsbee, HJ, Ozen and Kountze that have had a great basketball tradition are always ridiculed for some of the scores that they put up. It is ridiculous. GET OVER IT!!!!!! I totally agree, Lazeek. But then why does Bullets question us? Isn't he HJ?

Good question, Jay. I have seen far worse scores in my day. Matter of fact, I remember a HJ team that had their current assistant playing for them, beating someone by nearly 100 points one time. I have tried to explain to folks on this thread how this game went down, but they don't seem to understand. The point I am trying to make is that everyone at one time or another has games like this. If they were there, they probably wouldn't have any questions.

Am I the only one that wants to know how we get 2 mill. deficit and then start worrying about how to cut? The whole thing is a mess and yes it is going to be ugly. My problem is how did it get this way. Who wasn't on watch when they were supposed to be. I know it isn't as easy as this but it just seems as though you would see it coming. Those are very good questions, td. Questions which you guys deserve answers to.

would you want your varsity team playing a jv team because you know you cant compete with their varsity? wow you just dont listen...i said play up for more competition to get your kids ready for the next level i never said play down your just arguing for argument sake. and your absolutely right silsbees jv would beat both of those teams. i think westrbooks freshmen could give hf a game. on a side note i really would like to see silsbee and st thomas jv play each other it would be a great game im going back to what you originally said... i always agree to play up.. but i dont know of any varsity team that would agree to play a jv team... it just wouldnt be right... what if they lost... it would be way more embarassing than losing to a way better varsity team I was personally involved with a varsity team playing a JV. Back in 1980, I was on Silsbee's JV and Spurger varsity needed a game for their homecoming(Spurger doesn't play football, therefore they have their homecoming in basketball) We agreed to play them and well, to make a long story short, we killed them, 122-35. I will never forget that game for many reasons.

But Lazeek, I have all night!! ;D Go to bed you are old!!!!! ;D ;D ;D I have to wait a little longer to empty my bladder. Otherwise I have to wear Depends to bed.

But Lazeek, I have all night!! ;D

And then I get this from the MIGHTY silsbee ex. So apparently you're account wasn't very accurate. My account is accurate, I broadcasted the game and have the stats. Silsbee shot a few three's in the third, nothing in the fourth. As I said before, no three's late in the game.

That was not the case, UKCats. Silsbee pressed to start the third quarter but by mid quarter, called it off. Silsbee did most of their scoring in the fourth quarter on BC mistakes, mostly layups and offensive rebound putbacks. The Tigers killed the Cards on the boards. UKCats, maybe you should go back to the first page of this thread and read it. I have quoted your first post and my reply to it. I think I explained how this game went down.

HJ beat Bc 109 to 40 last year don't throw stones when you live in glass house Im not from HJ so what glass house am I living in? What you think because I said something about Silsbee being a poor sport that I must be from HJ or do you just not understand the meaning of the quote you're throwin around. And second of all I would never tell a kid to quit or to pass up on a layup, but I would have them quit shooting three's and look for the open layup. You can also use these types of games as an opportunity to work on some things. Have you ever seen a team need to slow the pace of a game down to protect a small lead in the closing minutes. Silsbee could have worked the ball around a little bit. BC may have played bad, but I am sure they didn't just stand in the circle at half court and leave the goal ungaurded. There are other options. silsbee scored the majority of its points in the second half off bridge city missed shots and turnovers... they did what they were taught get the ball out and go thats the style thats has always worked for silsbee run and gun, and when they got it off a dead ball they did run somethings offfensivly they just happen to score everytime they did and BC couldnt answer.... only a couple of threes in second half were even being gaurded by BC are you saying that kids should pass up the opportunity to shoot a wide open 3 in a game situation just because they are ahead by a lot? do NBA teams pass up shots ever?!?! i saw the suns get blown out the other night the team they were playing never slowed down never quit trying to score... Well first of all I wouldn't compare high school basketball to professional basketball at any angle. Professional basketball is a disgrace to the sport and if you actually sat and watched an entire game of that 3pt line to 3pt line race then it already says so much. Second of all, you're dang right I would tell a kid to pass up on a wide open three in a game situation. Would you want your kid shooting a wide open three if you were down 2 with 20 seconds left in regulation??? There are situations where passing up on open 3's is okay and up 50 is one of those situations. Absolutely i would let him shoot it.... he cant make what he doesnt shoot... and thats a dumb question if he's wide open yea he'll shoot it he'd be crazy not too... why does it matter much you are up when shooting threes?? its not like they were showboating they just took WIDE OPEN SHOTS there's nothing wrong with that.... Which is why you're in the stands while others of us are on the floor. Cause you just don't get it. Next year you'll find a new band wagon to ride, buy yourself a new hat and shirt, and cheer for another 100 point team. That is why you feel the way you do, band wagon riders don't understand what it's like to lose because when things get bad they just find someone else to cheer for. First, let me say that Silsbee was not shooting three's late in the game. As for this last comment you have made UKCats, it is way off base. I know for a fact #10gwh was a past player and has ties to the Silsbee team. He is no way shape or form a bandwaggoner. No your facts before you make any accusations.

Well, if you agree that it wouldn't be worth adding the cost in this situation, you must agree it doesn't make much sense for a district in financial turmoil to keep it, either. There are some good things that are going to get lost in the shuffle and maybe later, when the district has an extra $2,000,000 in their pocket, they can bring it back, but overall, getting rid of the program is needed right now. Coop, they're going in the right direction here, like it or not. They can't keep spending money on things that can be cut back a bit. People have argued it's only $16,000 per year they're saving, but that's a good chunk of change, and they are going to have to chip away at the massive deficit. I don't think there's a $2,000,000 worthless program that they can cut to get back on track, but there are a lot of little things they can do to save money, and this is one of them. GoStangs, you are rapidly becoming one of my favorite WOS fans. Another sensible and well directed post. I totally agree, they have to start somewhere. Like you said, there is no 2 million dollar program that they can cut to get them back in the black. They have to chip away at it. Another thing, the state is expects a school district to cut costs when they are working in a deficit. They are watching. Every school district that I know of would consider this transportation program a luxury, not a necessity. Anyone trying to balance a budget always looks to cut a luxury first.

Some people aren't too bright are they!!!!!!! So true. I am beginning to wonder what our local school systems have become. :

Please, only post your pickems on this thread.
