He has a tough act to follow.

I heard Ponder lost their coach.Who is running the show up there now??

The Lamar Lady Cardinals are very lucky to have Larry Tidwell.You want to talk about turning a program around he has done a masterful job in a short period of time.He has a constant presence at the local schools around the area and is a super recruiter.

[quote name="speechless" post="763680" timestamp="1266786353"] Walker and Brey could play at Lamar right now Lane and Stallworth are worth recruiting as juniors right now [/quote]Walker probably could play right now at Lamar but Lamar isn't anywhere near where they need to be to compete with Sam Houston or the club down at Corpus.They will have to recruit a lot better player if they are going to have any success in the SLC.Look at Buc2010 post and tell me if you think any of those players are anywhere close to Ashton Hall.

That was my point.They are all great high local high school players.There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but it ususually doesn't mean they will be D-1 signees.

I don't know if the Anahuac/Woodville game will be close or not.If the Newton club I saw Saturday is any indication of the strength of the district to the north Anahuac should win handily.

Spurger had a butt load and Newton not many. I think it was 70-46,I didn't write it down.

Kountze-72 Silsbee-66  I believe.

[quote name="speechless" post="763640" timestamp="1266780163"] 4 kids on the court last night that lamar should be actively recruiting [/quote]I probably wouldn't go that far.Lamar is a D1 mid major and it takes a very good player to play at that level.The recruits that Lamar has on the floor right now aren't that strong but you just have to look back as far as Ashton to know what it takes to play at that level.I think Walker has potential to play mid major ball and Stallworth if he continues to improve will get some Juco looks out of high school.Hill and Brey may get some JUCO looks as well.We only have to back as far as Robinson for Silsbee to realize while these are good high school players,they probably aren't going to be actively recruited D1 players.

Better than the last LU game I went to and better basketball to boot.

Not bad for a club that wasn't supposed to be able to compete.

You are right on the money about Mike, other than being an Aggie he does a super job.The lack of comments about the officiating is a testament to just how good they were.If there is a beter referee than Kevin I haven't seen him yet.

Thanks Chad Cooper for a very entertaining evening at the Montagne.I know the kids that got to play there will remeber it for a lifetime and for us old dogs that can't remeber when we played it was a lot of fun to watch.You are simply the "MAN" when it comes to southeast texas hoops.Thanks again for all you do for the local kids.

Heck I come sometimes just to watch the hecklers.The deal with the newspaper at the intro is just plain hilarious.It reminds me not to take these things to serious ,it's all in fun and just a game.

[quote name="Bucof2010" post="763561" timestamp="1266763347"] Wouldn't it be fourth rd before we met Nw or Ktz. Anyway? [/quote]Get New Waverly in the area round.Feb25-27 that's a tough draw for the Bucs.Anahuac looks to have a much better draw,they should win easily in the first round and then get Woodville in the area round.

Stallworth wasn't held he just wasn't involved in the scheme.Hill did an excellent job of taking the ball to the bucket and drawing fouls early.Later in the game the fouls didn't come and the bigs were out of the flow for the Tigers by then.I think the Tigers and especially Stallworth will bounce back strong.

AMEN!!!! I've gone to every Lamar home game for years until this season and what I saw Wednesday night down there was pitiful.Sam Houston looked good and I got to visit with my son so it was bearable.

I have never seen Rudder but if you have a good shooting club that shoots 50% from behind the arc you're not gonna beat them by 15.Shooting is a lost art and it is the great equalizer.I hope Silsbee plays well but they are going in to the playoffs on a little bit of a down note.

I think while both clubs wanted to win this one there were elements of their game they didn't show last night.Was Whisenant under the weather last night? He didn't seem to have the intensity he usually plays with and that's unusual for him.Roc was probably jealous because this was alot better crowd than was at the LU game on Wednesday.

All 3 of these clubs play good ball but Texas is a BIG state.This is the most fun part of the season for the fans.

Hill played an excellent game but you're exactly right about the Tigers inside game last night.They repeatedly came down the floor with their bigs open on the break and just didn't feed the basketball.A lot of these breaks they didn't convert on.That and sketchy free throw shooting was the difference in this game.New Waverly will have to bring their A game to compete with the Kountze club that took the floor last night.Duane has done a good job of developing some young guys off the bench during the season.I hope #14 doesn't have any lingering effects from the ankle.

The overall talent seems to be down this year in every classification.There are a few very good teams out there but also some very average clubs in the playoffs.O-field wasn't unlucky they were inconsistant.

He does a good job dishing the ball.Blankenship shot it very well tonight.

Great game to watch.Should help prepare both clubs for the playoffs.
