Yates played about as bad as a team could play but WAS NEVER down in the game....They will represent region 3 in 4A in Austin next week....They will blow Jones out tomorrow...KP fought hard, no question, but they could play Yates 10 times and lose all 10.

Yes! That is correct...

They played bad and won...  ::)

Attended that game...Yates shot HORRIBLY from the field yet led from buzzer to buzzer....KP handled the press fairly well but were forced to play fast...KP shot the ball well, and used EVERY INCH of the floor on offense, causing Yates problems...Yates shot and missed wayyyy to many threes....KP fought, just not enough bodies for Yates.

Four low-mid major division I players and one NBA player in 15 years is not HARDLY tons of talent....  ::)...

Wrong neither one of you have coached , I have so go to your plant job and clock in , and coach From the stands or your chair because that's as close as you are ever going to get [/quote] Sir, I have coached on the high school AND collegiate levels...and I am not done yet...sir..."Universal" off season does not work...period..

Katy tonight, Huntsville tomorrow, IF HARDIN COUNTY HAVOC part III is on tap!!  ;)

Thank you BLUEDOVE....I think we BOTH have to school the "pecanball heads" on this subject!! 8)

They have pretty much established that they will not be losing to Nederland anymore....Nor will they take a back seat to their District Co-champs anytime soon..Order has been restored...somewhat.. ;D

[quote name="12gage" post="1190212" timestamp="1330690101"] Let's compare the 90 s to the 2001-2010 seasons in all sports then let's talk about who won at all sports , basketball and baseball players weak as dishwater how has that been working for you [/quote] So they lift weights and get strong but have no specific skills for their sport, because they were doing "football" training disguised as being "universal"....Yeah that makes sense... ::)...and it still has not produced a football champion at HF...NOTE: In REAL Athletic programs, there sport SPECIFIC weight training for strength, along with skill development....and it actually works. For ALL sports....

Yeah I bet you are leaning toward Huntsville! By the way, Steve, the "package" has landed... ;)...thanks.

[/quote] No way....

Actually I have been at the Nederland Rec, putting up some sweet mid range jumpers, then ran a mile...  8)....I am trying to decide if I am going to Houston or Huntsville tomorrow..May go to Houston to see Yates/KP beatdown, and Ozen/Jones, then see HJ/Silsbee final on Saturday....where are you all going?

Did he tell you to say that shameless plug?  ::)  ::) 8)

[/quote] Except for them... ::) ::)..OF COURSE they do too!  They weren't out there fighting by themselves! :o  What the BH girls did was classless...Period..Its over and done with, and I hope they have learned better for future reference.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1189815" timestamp="1330635964"] [quote author=Pumper link=topic=96858.msg1189728#msg1189728 date=1330631044] There is a kid from Marshall who will be a factor around here for a while.  Nederland folks know him from tournament ball.  From what I've seen he is in the top 5 in Bmt for his age.  He had some eligibility issues this year, but won't in the future (or his dad might kill him!). If the current crop of 8th graders decided together where to go (King kids, plus the Marshall kid, etc), it could get interesting.  If there was an obvious choice, i.e. an exceptional coach in the bunch, it would likely happen.  As it is now, who knows.... But I do know that there has been some plotting and planning going on among the kids... [/quote]It's really strange that I've seen Marshal MS play last year and this year in Basketball and I've havn't seen a standout kid at all.  Maybe I overlooked him?  I don't know.  Also, it would seem that there would have been some buzz about him by now. [/quote] grade casualty, I think...

[quote name="12gage" post="1189803" timestamp="1330634860"] That universal off season is what  put HF on top in the 90 s , those two hc HF after put in no off season and look what it got them , price put it back in and you are starting to see results again - fact [/quote] Any state championships in football? How is it working out for the OTHER athletic programs there? Its not...Its ineffective, and its a selfish, football centered thought process. Yet it STILL fails to produce results for football either...

Will the lottery numbers be 12, 34, 45, 35, and 15 this week? Same kinda question...IMPOSSIBLE to predict.

[quote name="Pumper" post="1189770" timestamp="1330632757"] Bottom line is if you had one dominant basketball program in Beaumont ISD, sort of a "Yates Jr." if you will, there is a lot of talent coming up that could make things very interesting. My bet is that the talent will continue to be spread out among the 3 schools.  So you'll see good basketball, but not great. [/quote] It's funny you say, Yates, Jr......very coincidental, huh, stevenash? 8)...
