[quote name="forum" post="1167591" timestamp="1327802713"] You going to tell your players not to score? Give me a break. Get better or get your butt kicked. [/quote]Yes, a competitor among us ;)

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1167471" timestamp="1327773564"] Is Prudhomme getting any offers for college ball. Lamar, SFA, etc.... [/quote]Good question! Is a school like Lamar looking at Prudhomme? Does he have the skill set to compete and at what position?

[quote name="texas2step4u" post="1167451" timestamp="1327768034"] Lots of Nederland haters out there....and that's too bad.  English has built a great program.  Ive seen every team in 20-4A on several occasions and in my opinion, Nederland is, by far, the best.  Not saying they will run the table or anything like that, but they manage to get the job done night in and night out.  Other teams may have more talent or quickness in spots, but, as a team, Nederland stands above the rest of the district. Hats off to Nederland.  I just wish our team could develop that kind of talent and winning attitude that they have over there. [/quote]Valid points

[quote name="stevenash" post="1167562" timestamp="1327798041"] Perhaps they are a victim of UOS [/quote]Possibility.

Go to gym and get better.

I guess I'm old school too. Get your team ready. I'm putting my bench in to get some playing time but I expect my bench to play hard. W're getting ready for playoffs and no slacking.

Obviously the losing team had no talent at all. I guess we expect the winning team to run sets for 3 quarters, have open shots and just pass the ball back out top. C'mon! ::)

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1167491" timestamp="1327779483"] Yes.  Great young talent.  I'm expecting a lot from Central for the next 4 or 5 years.  Central will be probably getting that MLK Middle school 8th grade team talent next year as well.  Trust me, I'm looking forward to it.  Livingston will be alright.  They were just unfortunate this year with losing a few players.  They'll be ok. [/quote] Central should be a serious contender starting next year and for the next 3-4 years. They will have the best talent in S.E.Texas. Now things do change but I was personally told by  one of MLK's key players that Ozen is his future. Central will be stacked based on what I've seen for their JV and their young varsity players. THE Central coach should be looking good for the next few years. Livingston will still fight for 4th place next year, unless they get two serious move-ins.

[/quote] You PRAY they stay where they are right now... ;D...all indications point to Yates being 3A next year...Unless some decision is made between now and next week, its appears to be the case. [/quote] Is Yates really going to hang their hat on throwing their weight around in 3A?  IMO it will lessen their ability to get top notch transfers, uh, move-ins, uh, whatever you want to call them, etc. [/quote]Yeah, nobody pays attention to those 3-A teams :D

End of 1st.      LCM 12.    Ozen 9

My old college roommate who is a teacher there said their numbers average close to 675 on a good week. Yates won't be coming down anytime soon. HISD has had a record year for drop outs. Small the school, the less funding you get. [/quote] Will they be required to start fewer fights when they drop to 3-a? [/quote] ;D

And since we are on the subject of Jack Yates: Another one of their former players is reported to be on his way to Lamar Port Arthur to play ball :-\

Average teams will not beat Yates.

There is no set district lines and kids transfer and never get questioned.  That is one the biggest problems and toughest problems for the UIL because it is such a small area compared to the huge population. [/quote]Recently , there was a kid who transferred to Yates from within another HISD school. The kid had to play jv. Last I heard he was moving back to his old school. The previous year, a kid from the CY-Fair area transferred to Yates. That kid had to play jv [s]because he had not met the residency rules.[/s] because he wasn't good enough to play for the varsity[/quote] [/quote]See, this is why rumors get started :)
