Ran the score up again, huh?

These match ups just won't be close. [b]They aren't currently ranked 1 in 4A for nothing[/b]. Most of their team consists of juniors and sophomores. I'm a Silsbee fan and SETX sports supporter to the heart, but inner city ball just ain't the same. There is a reason they play teams like Findley Prep and Oak Hill Academy. They have a nice combination of size and speed that you don't see in high school. When you have move ins from South Africa, Florida, and Virgina, you aren't worried about 3A teams. They worry about National Champuonships. [/quote] You know, Galveston Ball was ranked #1 last year for nothing. ;) [/quote] Very good point and if Silsbee happens to play yates and either beats them or loses in a close one, you will be told that Silsbee would get killed by Flower Mound Marcus and the UT Longhorns as well. [/quote]Silsbee won't have the size next year to compete at that level. And HJ bigs won't be quick enough to rebound

[quote name="stevenash" post="1171934" timestamp="1328329292"] I have a sneaky feeling that the move in rate is going to slow considerably. [/quote]Not anytime soon. ;) Some 8th graders are already hiring realtors ;)

They play almost out of control at times. They have very below average shooters. Most of their points come off the press. I think the Tigers and Hawks have points returning who can beat their press and not panic under pressure. They normally start 6'2, 6'2, 5'11 6'6 and 6'5. [/quote]Wow, how did I miss these few comments. But never too late to respond ;) Yates have average shooters, I agree. The only way HJ can score off Yates is to run when Yates score. HJ cannot play a half court game with Yates. Sounds odd to say that, doesn't it? I'l let you guys and other experts figure it out. Silsbee, well thats a whole different story. Yates size and rebounding matched with their quickness will match well against Silsbee. [/quote] So you are saying that Silsbee would do considerably better against Yates than Hj would?  Is that sort of like WOS losing to Silsbee at Silsbee by 7 and then HJ beating WOS at WOS by 30+?  Yes, I can certainly see how that comparison works out. [/quote]Nope Silsbee would have some serious problems against Yates.

I have always said the most interesting race in this district will be between HF and WO-S. No other match ups really matter

Don't know how I would handle if my kids went to Livingston. I guess you work it out the best you can. I wonder how teachers treat homework and tests on game nights twice a week for basketball.

[/quote] What do you mean by "now'? EC has been "playoff bound" for as long as I can remember, maybe 20 years? [/quote]With the new district, it looks like an easy road to playoffs whereas before your district was much harder to win district because all those hard teams you guys always played in that district which was probably rated one of the toughest 2-A districts in Texas and I know you're a proud team with all that winning tradition but now East Houston will know and hear about the mighty Bucs from across the river because now you're playing out of the backwoods of Texas and playing those charter schools but I feel it will be more of an advantage to EC to continue to feel good about going to playoffs against these new teams. Whew!

Mitchell should be Central's #1 option.

Man, you could watch this tape a hundred times and see something new in it. Notice the inbound sequence after the the kid scores. He's wide open to take the inbound pass and the guy with ball ignores him, and he's wide open.

HEY, Anahuac and EC looks playoff bound now.

Where is all the hype for this district game ::)

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1171314" timestamp="1328292857"] Yates has a allstar AAU team that is now playing 3A ball. I think they are all underclassmen as well. [/quote]Not sure, but maybe 2-3 they're losing to graduation. And yes, they're young and players are still[s] coming[/s] moving into the district.

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1171309" timestamp="1328292169"] Dove, I'm reading an awful lot of "Dove love" for Nederland throughout this thread. Have you experienced a period of "reality and clarity ".........or is this your "reverse psych" effort at it's best?  ;D [/quote] No reverse psyche until next week :D

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1171292" timestamp="1328290959"] Man he was wide open!!!! ;D ;D ;D [/quote]AND! He made sure he scored with a layup and no embarassing missed dunk ;)

Can you imagine how it will be at his 20 year reunion? Poor guy.

Silsbee will beat WO-S by whatever point spread they beat HF.

Or better, compare your research on teams who have [s]recruited [/s]......errrrr persuaded at least 2-3 AAU elite players on their team versus others. Some schools are [s]stacking[/s] ....errrr balancing their teams.

Give me a break. [/quote]I know its hard to accept the reality of things to come. Kinda like S.E.Texas football ain't winning a state title cause you gotta come thru Katy.

Team is too young this year.
