Sure you will get the family out to see their kids play. 2,3, or 5 family members, okay I'll put in 5 friends within the mix too ;) [/quote] For the most part you are correct, but I will say that I know a lot of folks from PNG that went to LU games last year once Caleb Harmon began getting PT. Not just family and friends. My best guess is that with the signings of Nelson and Carr, more PNG and Nederland fans will come out in the near future. Thats not to say it justifies signing a kid outta PNG, Nederland, Vidor, etc. over a more talented kid from outta the area. I would suspect that ultimately if the kid from outta the area is that talented, he would put extra butts in tha seats due to spectacular play and it would be a wash anyway. It really all boils down to the end results, W's! [/quote]yES!

Sheez! [/quote] I thought that was the way you Dems liked it.  Fairness and compassion!!!  No losers!!! Protect everyones self esteem!!!! [/quote]This is sports. Not politics ;)

[quote name="ST413" post="1181004" timestamp="1329672252"] This is the second game of a double header.  Don't know much about the other two Washington and Reagan. [/quote]I would not want yall to get too excited about these two teams. I don't think these two have  a pipeline to the current  AAU talent. ;D

I gotta go with Yates

And you know I know this!

Nope, just goes to show he was active on both sides of the ball.

Way to go Mustangs, good job!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1180488" timestamp="1329537169"] Manvel's Terry Allen just picked up 5th foul after finishing with 50pts. Game tied 96-96 with :13 left in 2OT. [/quote]Terry Allen that AAU baller ;D

WB has talent but not enough to compete with North Shore.

This is a bad couple of losses for West Brook to these guys to end the season. [/quote]True, La Porte is a poor team.

[/quote]But they are not 4-2 ;)

When you are finished using that line, please replace it with the following in rather large, bold, letters written in English.

Kinda like giving a mom with three children her food stamps, but not being able to use them until next year. Then you change the law on her next year. But she still got the food stamps

Question? How can such an incident be controlled for the future? We all have comments after the fact. The teams participated in what is common in a sportsmanlike manner to shake hands at the end of the game. Its football, you have spats during the games but you still line up to shake hands. So what do you do,use a rope?

[quote name="12gage" post="1180037" timestamp="1329504423"] i hope they do make the playoffs , but 4-6 and tied for 3rd with 2 other teams in a 6 team district does not make for a bb powerhouse , now if several players did not bolt to other schools , they might have made a serious playoff run, but we all know when people QUIT for greener pastures what happens [/quote]isn't that the American System?  ;)
