I figured it was an oversight.Preston could knock down the 3.

I wouldn't go quite that far,Preston Guillory was a great shooter.Tramain definitely carried this years team especially with Vance playing thru a shoulder problem.I've had the pleasure of watching Tramain ever since my son started playing school ball and if I had to start a team he would be my first pick.Not only because of his basketball skills but he also knows how to handle any situation with class.The Bucs are gonna miss him terribly.Congrats Tramain on a great career.

I think this race will be wide open after Buna.I don't think Warren has lost but 2 ballgames.They have a bunch of kids who didn't play but the new coach seems to be doing a good job.They will hit the ball,the question will be a young pitching staff and a defense that is going to have to get better.

Amen.I had the opportunity to meet these young men three years ago when my son started playing summer ball with them.They are as fine a group as I've ever been around.The community and the parents should be extremely proud of them.

The 90$ ticket is a complete tournament package,every game ,every classification.

The discipline and dedication that these coaches demand year around whether it be in off season or cross country is the very reason this program is one of the most successful in the state.I don't think Lazeek was ranking the players just putting them in alphabetical order.There is a reason this staff consistantly beats more athletic teams.Believe me you don't want to see this system changed or you probably wouldn't be near as happy with the results.Everyone always sees different things in a player but this group was a combination of smart basketball players who understood there role and executed it well.This would have been a great topic if it just had the first three words of the title ;)

Now thats funny,I don't care who you are.

Lets look back just for the record to the past 2 years.1 state championship and one regional finalist appearance.Sounds to me like the captain is doing a pretty good job of driving the ship.If your not happy with this staff you would extremely dissapointed with any other one.I gotta disagree with your screen name.Congrats to the Hawks on great year,lots of underclassman on this club,so they'll be back.

Amen. Both teams are very fortunate to have such good coaches.Best of luck to BS.Whittacre proved again today he can flat out play.

Congrats Bucs on a super year and a super career for this group of young men.This was close to being the upset of the year.Even from the opposing side this team has been fun to watch.

This will be a dandy.Great coaches,good post players and guards who can light it up.Hate to see either club lose this one.Two things will determine this one, fouls on the the big guys and the role players.It's a toss up folks.

This will be a dandy.Martins Mill will be well coached and so will Big Sandy.I watched Martins Mill last year at the state tourney and I thought West Hardin should have been there so I'm gonna hold off on a prediction,don't want to jinx the cats.Good luck BS.

Just messing with ya Nike,sometimes folks on here predict with there heart.I gotta admit I blew the EC/Newton pick.I didn't know who would win but I thought it would be close.Newton couldn't hit anything the other night and they had open looks everytime down the floor.Didn't look like the same club I saw earlier this year.

EC definiely has a chance but talent wise this club misses Leday and Guillory terribly.They also miss Joseph from the year before.That being said Hank has done a tremendous job getting the most out of the players he has.As long as Tramain is on the floor the Bucs are never out of the game.Good luck Friday in Tyler.

Don't take all the credit there Nikes.I predicted a close game with BS and Slocum after watching them in the Zavalla tournament.I know absolutely nothing about Cayuga so I can't predict this one.Not any bad teams left at this point so it should be close.Cayuga definitely has tradition on there side.

I think the rule staTes that a technical is called if the players step across the boundary line.I know this is a very unfortunate incident and if the call was made as a makeup it is dead wrong.My question( and I ask just to let folks vent) is if the players stepped on the court in any form should it have been a "T".If it's not called then the other team would have a legitimate complaint.My personal opinion is in a game this size you let the players decide the outcome,but there could definitely be an argument for the other side.JMO

I'll be yelling for the Pirates but what in the world could a little dribblers game have to do with the outcome of a regional semi final game? Lets go Pirates , turn it loose.

I haven't followed this thread in its entirety but I think this same thing happened early in the season in a game with Silsbee and Hemphill.Of coarse the stakes weren' nearly as high but the call was exactly the same.That lends to another topic.Is a rule to be changed according to game situations or is a rule a rule?Just curious about people opinion. ??? ??? ???

Actually I saw the Tapps club play several times last year.I was simply making an observation about returning players.HJ has several returning players who will be good ballplayers.The "if given the chance" just caught my eye.The young lady you posted about will do a good job and will be a very good ballplayer.Just FYI I saw the Tapps club at least 4 times last year and theres no way they compete with the 21-3a clubs.I'll be sure and check with you next time before I post just to make sure it's OK.

You make my point for me Bobcat05.These were some very good high school players and the young lady from HF had to be a great student,not many people get offers from Rice.But how many on this list could be impact players at the D1 level.If you want to be successful you have a limited number of scholarships you have to give to players that can elevate your program.Coach Tidwell has watched a lot of the high school girls in Southeast Texas and promotes the area schools every chance he gets.It will take him a few years to get his stamp on the program but when he does it will be fun to watch.Scott from WOS could have contributed but I think she was already sold on U of H before Tidwell got settled in.

Congrats guys

I talked with our old coach last night after watching EC/Newton.His club faced Arp in the second round and was beaten by 30.He said they had a whole lot more than Johnson and would be tough.I haven't seen them this year so I can't predict a score.I can predict Thomas will have a huge game and will leave everything on the Wagstaff floor.I hope it's enough.Good luck Bucs.

I know the HJ coach pretty well and I can promise you every player on the team will be given a chance.They will have to be dedicated , work hard during the summer and go through the rigors of cross country but they will be given every opportunity to be successful.There is no comparison to the Taps district and 21-3a.The youg lady mentioned here will definitely help HJ along with the 2 post players,Moore and the Sutherland girl.That is a very good group of returning players.

I hate to kill my Karma here but I gotta put my 2 cents in.Some of you are recruiting with your heart and not your head.The current Lamar coach has a rep of being one the best in the business at recruiting.While it's great to give the local kids there props there simply isn't a wealth of D1 players in this area.You are certainly right about Coach A knowing all the local talent,that should tell you something.Spears was a legit project but she needed some work at the position she was going to play in college.She got that work and has turned into a very solid player who can now go on and play D1 ball.Gabriel I don't think is anywhere near the UT campus any longer.Some of these girls will be able to play college ball at the Juco level but if LU wants to put a legitimate contender on the floor they better go to Spain or California or wherever the absolute best players are,thats what everyone else is doing.The difference between a good high school player and a legitimate D1 prospect is night and day.

Congrats to the pirates.Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of kids.
