BLUEDOVE3

I think Wheatley is playing Jones tonite, Aggie. ;)

Final: Yates 127/ Austin 24

yep, been watching these kids play since 4th and 5th  & 6th grade. I've just started watching local high school just last year, and still learning the players. I'm probably more familiar with Nederland and HJ's players ;)

[quote name="Pumper" post="1178824" timestamp="1329340188"] Dove, since your kids play here in the "golden triangle", why such joy in the possibility that the path for local teams might be tougher in the future?  Is it because your kids are in 4A now and not 3A?  Do you resent HJ & Silsbee for some reason?  Some sort of loyalty to H-town since you grew up there?  What's the deal? I'm from the Houston area and played there, but I live here now.  I pull for all the local schools to go as far as possible in the playoffs.  I have no love for teams from the old stomping grounds, because I'm here now. Just curious? [/quote]  ??? [color=purple](a)[/color] I like Jack Yates- I know several of the kids there [color=orange](b)[/color] No, I do not resent Silsbee. I joke around with their coaches and try to tell them how to beat HJ, but they don't listen to me.[color=purple] (C)[/color] No, I do not resent HJ. I joke around with one of the coaches and try to tell him how to beat Silsbee, but he don't listen to me either. So, obviously that proves my love for the local schools.

Nederland is #1 seed, Central is #2. [/quote]Good deal. North Forrest it is. [/quote] Just noticed that CE King and North Forest are tied for 2nd. Has that seeding been decided already? Will they have a play-in game or did King win BOTH meetings? [/quote] Nope. They flipped for the seed this morning. NF won flip and is #2 seed, King is #3 seed. [/quote] Ok. Thanks. What does King have? Does Central match up favorably against them? [/quote]King is the team we've lost to last year. [/quote] Will there be a dunk-o-meter and SMRJ-o-meter at that game? [/quote] Central and North Forest? They can't SPELL SMRJ!!!!  ;D ;D...Its dunk,  attempted dunk, or finger roll! 8) [/quote] You hit it!

Yes! Yes!

LOL!

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1178529" timestamp="1329323199"] Whats with all these SHARING of district titles around these parts, BLUEDOVE? HJ and Silsbee, then Central and Nederland... I thought there was supposed to be just ONE champion of each district... ::) ::)..They must me too nice here in SE Texas with all of this SHARING!! We didn't share in Houston, did we Dove? STINGY district champions!! ;D ;D ;D [/quote]The [u]democratic[/u] (for Nash) generation of doing things these days. No such thing winning outright anymore :(

They consistently *win district* with that same non-athletic formula

It would be tough.

Brand new season, again!

Okay-y-y-y-y! [s]Congrats[/s] [s] !good luck![/s]  [s]Way to go![/s] [s]I knew yall would do it![/s] So hard to express or find the right words.

Way to go girls!

AND a good [color=red]*recruiting tool*[/color] Unless they aren't interested in the local players, which may be possible.

Lets hope all that off season running sprints them to Austin ;)

[quote name="stevenash" post="1178491" timestamp="1329320480"] Dove, Dickie- come on, now.  You are on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to AAU. [/quote] But we have love for the kids.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1178392" timestamp="1329313865"] Not taking anything away from Nederland, but LC-M went through the motions.  They had nothing at all to play for and according to the Beaumont Enterprise article, the LC-M coach seldom even got up off the bench and played the scrubs most of the game. [/quote]And that one of the problems with the playoff system. Watered down

[quote name="stevenash" post="1178427" timestamp="1329316469"] Soulja-  I am responding only because you requested it.  Free throw shooting has been a concern of mine not only this year but for a number of years and the Hawks certainly have lots of room to improve upon it.  At the same time, the 36-1 implies that they have found other ways to get things done( even though we all know how weak their schedule is) and I am hopeful that they can continue to do so.  Needless to say, if the dunk-o-meter and SMRJ meter are pretty busy during the games, then the free throw-o-ometer will be relegated to a lower status. [/quote]No more weak scheduling from here. Ya gotta take whose thrown at you now. ;D

These summer guys peddling kids around need to be stopped! >:( [/quote]Yep! ;)

I bet there are a few upset upperclassmen over there about now

Would be nice if the local media followed OF and use this as a human interest story.
