True the more you talk the more I realize how little you know about college basketball or basketball in general.First of all the McGallion kid has a very good skill set and would be able to play at the 3a level.That being said he has a few things that would hurt him playing any college ball, the biggest being size.You seem to think Jr colleges are for less talented players which is not true, it usually is for players who have issues becoming eligible or various parts of their game they need to work on.There were some very good high school players in the area last year and not many were mid major players much less D1 prospects.If you have players transferring for exposure in their senior season they probably aren't gonna be playing college ball.

I still stick to my guns about being a super star.Just because you transfer to a smaller school doesn't make you a super star.Your skill level will determine how much recognition you get.You may get more playing time at a small school but if you don't have the skills you will just be an average player.How many times should you let a kid transfer for more playing time? There are no guarantees he is going to get anymore playing time, what then?The UIL does a good job of attempting to keep folks honest which is what they are there to do.If a player has the skill to play college ball he will get some opportunities,the size of the opportunity will be directly related to the level of skill.

TrueBlue your interpretation of UIL rules never ceases to amaze me. Most schools in Southeast Texas allow transfers. Some charge a fee for kids that don't live in the district.Here's where you continue to miss the boat, the kids can not be cleared to play any sport unless they live in the district or they are released by their old school.They can file a waiver with the UIL if they aren't released but very few of these are granted.One more misconception is that kids that can't play at Memorial can become stars at a small school.If a kid can play, he can play ,if he can't he will be average no matter where he goes.Sabine Pass will face the same challenges this year as any school that graduates 3 or 4 of their best players and that is replacing points.I think they will be in the same district as they have been in and I don't see them beating Evadale or BS this year.They could play HD and WH pretty close for 3rd.JMO

Just heard that John Elliott, a standout football player from Warren Texas passed away today.John was a standout for the University Texas in the 60's and was a key member of the Super Bowl Champion New York Jets led by Joe Namath.While not being a big guy by todays standards John was a pro bowl caliber player on the defensive line for the Jets.He was a nice guy that will be missed.RIP Big John.

DC Stallworth is not a great big kid but he can play above the rim.I think he will be the best player in the area this season and could carry the Tigers a long way in the playoffs.

And it's sacred  ;D

Warren Warriors- Not because of the disappointing record but because of the low turnout of players.The kids that played have my utmost respect because they are young and will only get better if they stay with it.The young AD will bring the football program around if some of the kids that are in the stands will get on the field.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="895714" timestamp="1288815229"] Silsbee will run away with district if they stay healthy [/quote]Silsee and HJ wll split home and away and will playoff for seeding.WOS will slide in the 3rd spot followed by Orangefield.

[quote name="wouldsmith" post="893878" timestamp="1288641620"] I hope Warren gets their first win of the year.  :D :D ;D [/quote]Unfortunately I think Warrens first win may still be a couple of years away  :-\ :-\

If Walker and Brey , Oh wait a minute, there gone HJ by 25.

Coop is the man in SETX hoops !!!! Enterprise geez, leave that to the paper boys :)

Should be a great ballgame,two very even clubs that could easily be in the playoffs.I think Buna wins by 6.

LOL Now that's funny I don't care who you are :)

Voted, know lots of folks over at Hardin.

[quote name="True Blue" post="886051" timestamp="1287893701"] The only hope the people of Beaumont have is that Thomas goes the way of Ex Mayor David Moore And they finaly find him guilty of public corruption Then we will see what name they put on the b!tch stadium ??? [/quote]That may not be a good hope for the people of Beaumont True, it would surprise you where you might see an Ex mayor  ::) ::)

Hats off to ya Johar73 for some great pictures.West Hardin is fortunate to have you in there corner.Do they really have 11 seniors ????
