From a basketball stand point why would you want a coach that had been an assistant in an under acheiving program for years ? From a moral stand point nothing BISD does would surprise me.If the Ozen club doesn't improve very quickly they may be several positions open in Beaumont.When you look at local coaches how in the world do you have Coach Joubert and Coach Williams wanting jobs in BISD and not being given the chance when you have guys like this running the show.Duane and Travis may not have any connections in the BISD but both are great guys who run respectable programs and you don't have to duck when they yell shoot  ::) ::)

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="732624" timestamp="1261155694"] [font=Courier]Word is that OF stud Zach Hayes will miss the game tonight due to injury. Spread has been adjusted. [/font] [/quote]And now Nikes you know the reason for my pick.Hayes is the diffference maker for the Cats and without him they may struggle to score.SP will get up for the game at home against the bigger school.

[quote name="utfan06" post="732639" timestamp="1261157661"] [quote author=True Blue link=topic=63926.msg732220#msg732220 date=1261078691] Blane Dunigan from Ec has got to be in the top 20. He is playing for a new team in a new position and leading the team in points reb and blocks, And only playing 1/2 of the game, comming off bench. And making alltrun. in the HJ turn. [/quote] he might crack the top 25.... he isnt that good [/quote]EC has several players that look like they may develope into pretty good players.The games I've seen no one has been consistant but someone looked pretty solid each game.Green,Jones,Carrington and Davis all looked good at times.The coach is the key to this group,he puts them in a position to win.I've never seen a top ranked high school player that didn't start.

If this one stays within 50 I'll be surprised.Deweyville plays there best rebounding and running off the boards which plays right in to Kountzes hands.The Lions break the century mark tonight. Kountze 101 D-Ville-51

I heard they received an invitation to play in the I WISH WE COULD BEAT TEXAS BOWL.And o yeah they still suck.

When you get north of Zavalla the officials (how can I say this nice) call games very differently.

Great news for Phillip.It sure didn't look good when he went down.

I haven't gotten to see some of the big schools so far this season but most of your small school guys are close.Ricossa would belong on the list if he's healthy as well as Turner from HJ.The 2 bigs from Kountze are solid(Walker is the best player in the area).The most overlooked player in SETX is Whisenant from Kountze he just does his job day in and day out.I saw EC 3 times and they had a shooting guard with some speed that is developing I think his name was Green but not sure .I didn't see any standouts on the Bucs but they play together and are well coached.Carrington has alot of potential when he gets his BBall legs under him.On the 1-a level you gotta like Whittacre from Spurger and the tall kid from Sabine Pass.

How is his knee????

Depends on which O-field club shows up and which SP clubs shows up.Both of the clubs have been hard to figure so far this year.They have both been impressive in some wins and then get beat by clubs theyshould beat.Orangefield will probably be a little deeper but SP has 2 quality players who can score.I'll take the sharks in this one by a bucket at home.

[quote name="Coach_J" post="732221" timestamp="1261078861"] Sabine Pass is playing great and will beat up on Spourger without Blankenship and Hutto. With these two Chase, Whittaker, and Rawls all together Spurger will pull out a win by two or three [/quote]I don't know the Hutto kid but Daniel makes the Pirates better for alot of reasons.First of all he is a very good shooter,he plays good defense and most important he is a senior who provides leadership.All that said Spurger still has an advantage at the point and at the post.They win the game at home with or without the injured kids.

Got them from Mikes post game wrap up.The young man had a double/double.The reason I said it was emotion was Turner had 6, Sutherland-6 and Gus-9.That's not a typical night for those 3.

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="731167" timestamp="1260935312"] He is still the hc [/quote]They'll be fine then.He will get what they have to give.

Thats a tough way to lose.

I was afraid depth might hurt the Panthers.Is Coach West still at Anahuac ?? I didn't see him this past weekend and someone elses name was in the program.

That's what I was thinking.I'm a big Walker fan and Brey is playing well also but Kountze has those type players every year.Before the it was Busby and Powell.And before that it was Hall and whoever.They just reload.

That wasn't an excuse TruBlu it was an observation.I'm not from HJ so I don't make excuses for them.I saw several of the Bucs games this past weekend so I know exactly who and how they played.High school ball is all about matchups and emotion.The Hawks were flat tonight and trust me the Bucs don't match up with Lions this year with or without their 2 bigs.I do think EC has a good shot at making the playoffs this year but they will have to beat Anahuac and Hardin to do so and Deweyville will be a challenge at Deweyville.I agree the Hawks are alot better with Ricossa but Anderson had 19 rebounds tonite,that aint bad.

I won't argue that point.He did a good job preparing them in the 3 games I saw them play last week.

Cleveland has several pieces to the puzzle.The twin kids in the backcourt are solid and the big kid has great hands but was out of shape last year in the playoffs(not sure how that happens that late in the season}.They played a great ballgame against HJ but didn't make many adjustments during the course of the ballgame.In a one game playoff they would be very dangerous.

Lord Coop is that a typo??? 14 points in a half ??

HJ spent a huge amount of emotion on Saturday night after a very tough game against Kountze. Couple that with the missing post player and the game gets a lot closer than it should be. EC has a very good young coach but the pieces of the puzzle may not be there for a regional run.They will be in the playoff hunt in their district race with Anahuac and Hardin.

I dont normally say anything for obvious reasons but anyway, 10 has stepped his game and leadership up. It's all right to brag court side. As Dizzy Dean said" it ain't bragging if you done it ". Hope Daniel is back by the start of district.

You never know what you'll get with Milburn.They will have some atheletes but never look the same 2 games in a row.

There are also always some giant killers lurking around the Tyler area  ;) ;)

court side is Daniel gonna be back before district starts??
