whsalum

whsalum and The_Gladiator just wished ur town/team had a point guard like McGallion!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't lump me in with The Gladiator.I just made a simple observation.I pick up the paper every week now and look for the best game and that's where I go.I don't have a team,I am a BASKETFALL fan.I have seen just about every team in SeTx this year and comment as to what I see.If you'll look at my post I put Chase in the top 5 players in the district.Which in my opinion he is one of the top 5 but the district overall is weak.My quote above was concerning the "I have watched him for years" statement which I stand by.If he didn't start last year and your midway through the season you had to be watching either Jr.High or Little Dribblers,that's not a put down it's a fact.Sports Talk you are right,if I was starting a team and looking for a good young point guard I would certainly take Chase on my team,I just wouldn't say I had watched him for years.I gotta disagree with Gladiator about Spurgers club,they are headed in the right direction.

He's just a sophomore and he didn't pay a ton last year so if you watched him for years it had to be in little dribblers.I'm not sure that would count JMO : : :

If I were a member of this years Hornet club I would throw rocks at Villamez if he showed up to play next year.These kids are showing a lot of heart hanging close after a tough season.

Going in to the season I would have given Silsbee the edge simply because HJ graduated 8 players.I saw the Tigers play alot this summer and they looked to be real strong heading in to the season.HJ didn't look to strong in the post early on but that part of their game while not getting much recognition has been the most improved part.All that being said yoy just don't beat HJ at home so I'll take the Hawks by 6 in the opener. HJ-76 Silsbee-70.

The biggest thing keeping the Lions from Austin is New Waverly,Newton and Anahuac.They will have a tough time making it to the regional tourney this year.

You couldn't lose with either one of these as the head coach. Probably a co head coach title in the negotiations going on somewhere as we speak.

The sport has lost a very courageous lady.I guess the big guy needed someone to help keep Jimmy V in line.

The better team usually wins.Come on trophyman give em their credit.They must have been the better team tonight.I must be missing something on the Rebels,I don't see them in the playoff picture and I sure don't see them winning the district. Come to the next game...it's not a far drive...I'll make sure you get in free and you can make a fresh assessment of the Rebels. These days I usually pick up the paper and see who I think will be the best game to watch and go check them out.I didn't know much about the Rebels so I went and watched them actually 3 times this year.They look better than they did last year but still are a ways away from being a playoff team.Now the girls are the real deal,they will win the district going away.

Don't get in a buffet line with Coach Sims you might get hurt : : :

This will put EC in the drivers seat for the 3rd spot.I would have missed this one.I thought D-ville would win this one.Can't figure the pirates out,they aren't playing up to their potential right now.

I dont know what you mean about the district being not as deep in good players because the youngest whittaker is averaging more blocks and pts than his brother. The kid from SP droped 32pts copeland is copeland and Blankenship had 28 against SP. Everyone has been playing better for evadale. The Talent is there trust me. Elliot can shoot but he doesnt seemed to be the game changer that you say he is but he can shoot. I think there are 2-3 player better than elliot. I would like to see who you would start on a team out of all the player in the district be position. PG ? SG ? SF ? PF ? C ? I don't mean any disrespect to this years players but this district last year produced both Region 3 finalist and it's champion played in the state championship game.The young Whittacre kid is gonna be a good one no doubt but he isn't the player Phillip was yet.You cant really compare stats because Phillip was doing it against some very good competition.The 5 best players in this district last year were: Copeland McKinney Tolar Whittacre Sheffield That's why I say the district is a little weaker this year.I don't think this years group would be close to that.Everyone on that list was either all state or all region I believe.I haven't seen Sabine Pass so I can't rate their guards but from what I've seen my top picks this year would be: Copeland-WH Elliott-HD Blankenship-Spurger Whittacre-Spurger McGallion-Spurger

Is dist. 25a weak, or all the team about the same.Every game is real close. ;D ;D ;D ;D Theres not a layup difference in the 1-6 spot.This tiebreaker might get interesting.

WHSALUM HAVE YOU SEEN US PLAY THIS YEAR?????? JUST WONDERING LOL CUZ YOUR PULLING FOR US HEHE ;D JUST A FRIENDLY QUESTION No ghost I haven't seen Sabine Pass this year.I wasn't really pulling for anyone just making a prediction after seeing Evadale several times.I don't think the Rebels will win many on the road but the way all 6 teams are playing no one may win many on the road.There isn't much difference in the top team and the bottom one in this district.That will make for some good district games but probably a short playoff run.Good luck to all the 25-A clubs the rest of the way.

I've seen Evadale play 3 times this year and I don't see them beating Sabine Pass.They won 2 district games at home against 2 teams that aren't real good.I don't think the Rebels make the playoffs.

The folks in the triangle wont have to be real good because WH doesn't have any scoring threats other than Copeland.There are lots of ways to get perimeter shots,especially from the baseline against a 1-3-1.Copeland's strength is the long ball.A good shooter will get folks out of a zone pretty quick.

Evadales press????? Please, Sabine Pass wins at home by 15.

Basketball definitely takes more skill but football gives you something to watch until basketball season starts ;D ;D ;D

hE WILL SHOOT YOU OUT OF 2-3 or a 1-3-1.Some folks are successful with a box and one or a triangle and 2.If he had much help everyone else would be playing for second.The kid has good range and can take it to the hole and shoots free throws well.

I have seen Copeland play alot over the years and he plays against defenses designed to stop him every week and consistantly beats the defense.He doesn't have alot of help so the Oilers go as he goes.This district isn't real deep this year in quality players and Copeland is hands down the best 25-A has to offer.In time the Whittacre kid will be a game changer and Elliott from HD can do it now when the shots are falling behind the arc.I haven't seen any McKinney,Phillip Whittacre or JT Sheffield type players this year other than Copeland.JMO

This is simple,change the 2nd letter from HF to HJ,you gotta a 20 win season right off the bat ;D ;D ;D

Lamar isn't even in the same league as the guys they played tonight.They were outclassed and looked intimidated from the opening tip.

1-10 Copeland The rest of these guys are pretty good role players but Copeland is in a league of his own in this district.Elliott from HD is probably the closes to him when it comes to being a game changer.

Thats a stretch.Dville may take 3rd but they aren't close to Kountze or Anahuac.I gotta agree with CATMAN about New Waverly they and Newton both are the favorites in this end of the region.

This probably wasn't a surprise to the Pirates,Anahuac is the real deal.D-Ville is probably still the dark horse for the 3rd playoff spot if they play the way they are capable of playing.They should match up good against EC and that will start to clear up the playoff picture.
