[quote name="The1 and only" post="748026" timestamp="1264183527"] SP and Spurger At Sp will b judgement day for spurger [/quote]Here's a news flash.SP is 8-8 and 1-2 in district.They spent way to much time on the web site and not nearly enough in the gym.

Evidently Westbury decided not to let Yates break the 100 point barrier.That may be a moral victory for them but you can't blame Yates for wanting to score.Most of those kids are playing for a free ride to school so they have to shine when given the opportunity.I stll say their are ways to keep clubs from scoring 100.You simply have to make them make the decision if the price of running it up is worth what it's going to cost them.If so ,roll it out there and let em play.

Anyone got a final???

Tracy must be pulling rabbits out of his hat.

I've watched Walker for years and he would definitely be a good #1 pick to build a team around.Brey has a tremendous up side but isn't the kind of player you would build around.The Ricossa kid from HJ is another one I would take in a heart beat.If you're gonna build a team you need kids that understand the game and watching Ricossa is like having another coach on the floor.I would take Sutherland as my coach but Duane wouldn't last long on a draft board either.

I didn't get to make this one recruiter but your game summary is exactly what I saw out of the sharks in Spurger last week.They don't play team basketball and they don't have the individual talent to win by not playing together.That's a shame because as a group they could be pretty good.

HJ should win it but you never know with WOS .It could be closer than some folks think.

There are ways to keep clubs from scoring that many.I think the clubs they are playing are responsible for the scores.Slow the game down, let the air out of the ball,trip the breaker , whatever it takes but don't try to run with these rascals.You're not gonna win that battle.

Evadale wins this one at home by 6.

This team is only a true PG away from being one of the best Kountze teams in several years.They have some folks playing out of their natural positions but they are doing a good job.

I can see a total changing of the guard coming in Beaumont hoops.

It should be about the season.I enjoy football as much as anyone but I'm not gonna post about the off season program. ::)

Brandi McCain was probably the best to ever play from this area.Carol Sims was the best I ever saw personally(and I saw her alot).Most people don't know it but she averaged over 30 points a game in a 4 year high school career and is the second leading scorer all time at Lamar.If they would have had a 3pt line back in those days no one would have ever came close.She could pull up and shoot the 20 foot jumper as pretty as anyone,guy or girl, I've ever seen.

Bernsen was as good a PG as I've seen.Not a dominant scorer but could sure pass the rock.The girl from Goodrich(her name escapes me) but she set every modern day scoring record for a high schooler.I saw her as a freshman and she could go.

Just wonder what everyones thoughts are on this.I'm all for kids signing to play college ball if it's going to help parents pay for those college expenses.The simple truth however is there isn't a lot of money out there for most JUCO players and practically none for a D-3 signee.I never have been a fan of kids transferring schools in pursuit of a scholarship because usually it's a lost cause.Too many kids on signing day sign to play at anywhere U only to be back home in the spring.Most kids are alot better off  enjoying being a good solid high school player rather than jumping campuses in search of a scholarship.What do ya'll think?

Spurger has the best club by far but HD can be a tough place to play.

This is a stupid poll because EITHER candidate in this poll could do the job.

I think Jason Wilkins is the coach over there now.If he is it's great to see some of these young coachs coming home.I think Evadale can split with SP but I dont think the Sharks will lose 4.I can see both clubs finishing at 7-3 and playing off for the second spot.

I don't think little dribblers hurts by any stretch but it's not responsible for success once you get to the high school level.I think for the kids to be successful in high school it's all about staying in the gym throughout the off season.Spurger went to the regional finals 2 years ago with a very good group and a different coach.Phillip Whittacre,JT Sheffield and Coach Stappert were the main cogs in that wheel.I will agree with ya 100% about the coach they have now ,he is doing a great job.Spurger will be lucky to keep him.I think this group has the potential to go at least as far as the regional tourney and then anything can happen when you get there.I hope the fans over there really get behind them ,they are fun to watch.

Spurger has been good the last 4 or 5 years because they have had a group,actually 2 groups,that work hard and play alot throughout the summer.I'll agree they may have a little advantage early in the season but by this time of year everybody should be about equal.The only thing that may hurt the Pirates in the playoffs is depth.I was surprised to only see 3 players on the bench the other night and foul trouble could be an issue down the road.

Just seeing if Matt was still watching the board.He could definitely play,just messing with him a little bit.Got to visit with Matt while he was in for the holidays and he seems to be doing well.Wish him nothing but the best.

For the most part I agree totally with your game summary.This entire game for the Sharks was whoever got the ball went 1 on 5 and forced everything.No floor spacing,no passing and absoluely no defense.The only 2 players I saw for SP that were a factor were#30 and #25 and they are going to have to be given some help on screens to win against the good teams.#10 isn't a bad player but only can shoot the wide open set shot,he isn't going to score on his own.I was surprised that with all the returning players he Sharks haven't gotten any better.
