[quote name="vp32" post="1172973" timestamp="1328553780"] [quote author=NB-Dawg link=topic=95487.msg1172971#msg1172971 date=1328553587] [quote author=east texas bb link=topic=95487.msg1172911#msg1172911 date=1328551392] Im sorry, I must have been brought up different than some others, but Houston Yates dont scare me or intimidate me at all.  I played against the best Houston had to offer for 5 straight summers and Im from right here in little old East Texas.  Yates is in for more of an awakening than HJ or Silsbee.  This reminds me of when I was growing up, and we would hear of a player from New York or Los Angelos, people would think and even college coaches recruit them on this basis, but when it gets right down to it, they are no different than me and you.  A friend of mine that played for the Detroit Pistons, told me I would see this and he was absolutly correct. [/quote] Preach On East TX bball! Some try intimidation techniques to demoralize others. It gets real old on this board when people talk about teams that they have never seen play. I don't think Boise State approached their BCS game against Oklahoma a few years ago when they were clearly the underdog, yet beat all odds and won the game. They were not afraid of their NAME only! [/quote] I think Vidor was picked a favorite in 3 games maybe this year in football and yet they went 10-3 and to the 3rd round of the playoffs. Odd's don't mean a thing. [/quote] they had a good year, but realistically, they still had no chance to make it to state.  the same holds true for our teams out of 20-4A this year.

If so, I have to disagree with that statement. I mean you are down to just the final 4 and I have been to what will be 41 straight state tourneys and most if not all the teams there have a very descent shot of winning it all id not a great shot. It's just 2 wins away for all of them. [/quote] i got the impression that he was talking about any team that made the playoff tourney.  obviously, once they get to state, or regionals, for that matter, they have a chance.

[quote name="beechnut" post="1172348" timestamp="1328408106"] Is Rick in trouble? [/quote] nah.  they've lost what, 5, 6 players leaving early to the draft in the last 2 years?

i knew i did poorly... glad to see most folks did worse than me!

they have 4 or 5 winnable games coming up.  none of them will be signature wins, but they'll have a shot to go about .500 in the big 12 with over 20 total wins.  they might squeak in.  who knows.

Who do you think has a chance to make it to state from our area?

congrats!

wow!

I fell asleep reading that score

[/quote] If they only won by 7 at home at the very end, I think this one will be a barn burner. [/quote] you're entitled to that opinion.  WOS has improved enough to keep it close on occasion, but Silsbee is still 20-25 points better than them on a whole.  I think the close game they played last time will ensure that Silsbee comes out sharp in this one.

i like how he celebrates it... while the other team celebrates it... and then he realizes what he did :)

i couldn't figure out how that could happen until i saw the tape.  catching a contested inbounds pass while you're running towards your own basket and laying it up all in one motion... too much muscle memory :)  still terrible, though.

Picked Central on the preview show, so i'll stick with it.  Central wins, 54-52.

[quote name="bballgod" post="1171360" timestamp="1328296117"] Hopefully they play as well as they did against Sislbee in OF.  They were only down 15 with 2 min. to go in game. [/quote] truthfully, i hope they do, too.  I want HJ to face as many tests as possible over the next couple of weeks before playoffs start.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1171330" timestamp="1328294225"] Silsbee...probably BIG... ;) [/quote] agree.  silsbee 79-54.

[quote name="bballgod" post="1171339" timestamp="1328294978"] The only thing that gets hyped up on this board is HJ vs. Silsbee or Nederland vs. Central/Ozen.  Look at all the other links.  There isn't going to be any hype for this game on here.  No biggie on that, but it should come as no surprise to anyone.  [b]Hopefully the hawks overlook the Bobcats, like the Longhorns did on Tuesday[/b].  Doubtful, but one can always hope. [/quote] the hawks could overlook the bobcats and STILL win by 20-25 points.  but like lazeek said, OF might find a way to keep it semi-interesting at home.

[quote name="thetragichippy" post="1171124" timestamp="1328279411"] those fish look VERY similar to other flounder you have caught  :-X  ;D [/quote] that's because most flounder look alike. [quote author=westend1 link=topic=82035.msg1171133#msg1171133 date=1328279971] Photo shopped.  I've seen those fish before on a TP@W website.    ;) [/quote] that's also because most flounder look alike. if either of you naysayers has an interest in blowing the dust off of your boats, i'll be happy to show you where we caught them :)

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="1170949" timestamp="1328228171"] [quote author=bullets13 link=topic=95072.msg1170941#msg1170941 date=1328227522] that sucks, but so does a small school meeting up with an inner city school in the playoffs that has 500 more kids enrolled and that is able to pull kids in from all over a huge city. [/quote]You find a more feasible solution and we'll pitch it to UIL.  In the meantime, I'll watch teams like Kountze compete with 1/2 of the local 4A teams in the area and laugh at you. You see, its the quality of the basketball pool that is so much more important than the size of the basketball pool.  Take HJ and Silsbee.  Together, they've beaten probably every 4A and 5A team in the area this year alone. [/quote] laugh away... if kountze was 3A, they'd be about the 30th best team in the state. and there are many 3A schools that are closer in size to Kountze than they are to the 3A schools at the top of the spectrum.  and this is the reason i brought up huge cities, and schools pulling in kids from all over those cities, but keeping enrollment under 1000.  Which basketball pool has more quality... Hardin Jefferson, or the entire city of Houston, which Yates seems to pick and choose players from? 

ouch.
