The weight lifting itself isn't where the problems are, the conflict comes when you do it on game days.Most lifting programs are beneficial if done during the 1 hour school period but basketball players shouldn't be lifting on game days period!!!!

This guy can coach , regardless of what he inherited.Evadale will be pretty solid this year.

Prayers to the Sanchez family.The guy does more for ALL our local high school atheletes than anyone around.Get well soon Mike we have many more disagreements yet to come and basketball season will be here before you know it.

[quote name="scooter!" post="808607" timestamp="1275536676"] I think Yates would blitz UConn IMO and it wouldnt be pretty [/quote]I agree with that but the other 5 may be a little closer.

They were supposed to play at Kountze but the freshman coach was supposed to be putting it together.I haven't heard anything else about it in over a week.PM me and I'll tell ya what I know.

I didn't say they would beat Yates, as a matter of fact I said Yates would beat them but there wasn't another team at the state tournament that would play Yates close.I would like their chances against everyone else.

If the post was about the best high school state champions ever and your average womens college team I may agree with your assessment but it's not.It's about this years champions and arguably the best womens college team of all time.Fundamentals are so overlooked in todays game that they are no longer appreciated by a large part of the fan base.I don't think you would see nearly as many shots swatted into the stands as you think simply because these ladies screen as well as any club I've ever watched.The pace of the game would not be frantic or fast paced simply because Gino would know he couldn't win that type game.He didn't win 70 plus games in a row and not know how to coach.If games were won or lost on athletisism alone the guys would win going away but thats the great thing about basketball, strategy and execution are the great equalizer.

I base my outlook a whole lot more on my observations than on Swags opinions.

If the kid I'm talking about developes in a couple of areas he will be hard to keep off the varsity.I thought I saw him on the varsity roster at the regional tourney and I saw him play a couple of real good games on the JV last year against Silsbee.I don't have a clue who he is but he has a lot of potential.Who does HJ have at the bigs??? And how many seniors do they have??

BUT WISH YA'LL THE BEST......WE 3A STATE BOUND BABYY!!!!!!!! [/quote] The new kid is just a peace of the team, there are no stand out players on this team, But as a team they look real good, very balanced with size inside and a great set of shooters on the outside. After watching the games Tuesday with EC and HF, and I know this is just summer ball and scores dont mean anything,but this should be another good season for HJ. [/quote]If Gus and Sutherland are on the squad they have a couple of standouts.They also had a kid on the JV last year that was big and had a ton of potential.Something tells me you won't recognize him this coming season.He is gonna be solid.

Three schools in four years is hard to adapt to. I hope he doesn't look back in a few years and wish he would have stayed put.There isn't anything wrong with being a decent ballplayer in a small district.

The success of both the programs in this topic are the result of the system.Both systems are mirror images of each other from a philosophy standpoint.Truth is alot of good high school players don't have the total package to play in college regardless of the calls from the coaches.Devin will play on the JUCO level unless he improves his ball handling and jump shooting abilities.If he does that the sky is the limit.Jacolby has mad defensive skills but doesn't have the total package to play D1 ball.It's plain and simple folks, the kids that play at HJ this season will conduct themselves as team players or they won'y play.That's the way it should be.

I'm gonna keep those days penciled in on my calendar for sure.

I wouldn't worry too much about the summer league games.They are a good way to keep the kids off the couch and in the gym but stalling the ball isn't the end of the world.Actually it may be more challenging than the no defense ,run and gun you usually see.

Silsbee,Kountze and Hardin Jefferson are always at the top of the heap in Southeast Texas and you don't have to look down the bench far to see why these clubs are always so well prepared.The guy in the second seat at any of these 3 schools are better than most clubs head guy.You won't see much of a turnover if any of these head guys were to leave.

The next Kountze coach is probably already on the bench  ;)

Yes they did.Regardless of how late of start he got he always put a good club on the floor and took on all comers.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="796484" timestamp="1272679334"] I know one thing... He wouldn't have a shortage of athletes! [/quote]I know another, he would know how to use them.

Why would anything that happens in BISD surprise anyone ???

Man if I can keep my connections to the hospitality room this is gonna be worth the price of admission ;D If Big Rich keeps making the gumbo I'm gonna have to have a hammock.

[quote name="diesel" post="790803" timestamp="1271379884"] yall dont understand that girls level of basketball and guys level of basketball is a huge difference....now don't get me wrong there good but guys would get up and down the court a whole lot faster [/quote]On the same level there is a huge difference but this poll was about the best college girls team ever and every classification of a boys high school state tournament.No disrespect to Lamars elite 8 team but they aren't in the same class as these ladies.There were times this year when I watched UCONN and they did the fundamental things every bit as good as the guys,especially at the high school level.

Consolidation may be the answer here.Its 12 miles to Woodville,18 to Corrigan and less than that to Colmesneil.It makes athletic and economic sense.

Only if they get Boutte back or open up a coaching search.

[quote name="speechless" post="786066" timestamp="1270415558"] ALL 6 WOULD BEAT EM!!! [/quote]You're dreaming.One of these girls has a 26" vertical, now there isn't many guys at the high school level that can jump like that .After watching the first half I'm taking Bush off the list.The U Conn women would go 5-1 against this years state champs.The run the floor,handle the press,screen and shoot the ball better than any womens team I've ever seen.Yates I think would just be too fast for them but they were #1 in the nation at the high school level.

Duane runs a great one at Kountze.Usually has some real good clubs there.
