You and Bullet make good points. So the next question is this: If you are a 6'2"-6'3" guard with very good D-1 skills and live in a 3-A district, would you move to a larger district to play? or stay put? kind of depends... i went to HJ, and had options to move to several schools around here that were much better at soccer (i ended up playing D3 in college), but i didn't want to leave my childhood friends. also, a kid playing in 3A might have a better chance to succeed ON THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL (like Donahoe and his championship) if they play at a lower level. it's probably a different situation for every player.

a real tragedy... thoughts and prayers from beaumont.

Oooop!!! You're right! Then this begs to further ask the qauestion: Why is it that there aren't any 3-A players playing major D-1 basketball? Is it that these kids are good at the high school level in their respective divisions and lack the skills to play major D-1? my personal opinion on this... a 4A school with 1500 kids, or a 5A school with 4000 kids, is more likely just by sheer numbers of students to have a D1 quality player on it's roster due to the mucher larger pool of players they have to choose from. a 3A school, even a good one, is simply less likely to produce a D1 player. on top of that, those 3A players who ARE good enough to play get less exposure than those in bigger classifications. also, if a coach has to choose between two closely matched players, it would make sense for him to go with a player who's in a higher classification, as that player GENERALLY has more experience playing against bigger, better teams, which will have better prepared him for D1 opponents.

you're lucky. i was gonna bring my favorite golf club. my nine mili... my nine iron.

that's a great problem to have

doesn't he play for Baylor?

you're awake. i'm awake. start walking, we'll meet in the middle. it's go-time, whiteboy.

i hate to hear that. i always enjoyed her as a teacher and a person during my time at HJ. enjoy the break, coach!

I have to agree that Lumberton's goalie is the best i have seen this year, and classy.. doesn't play dirty, he knocked me down to get to a ball, but helped me up right after the play... and those are some good stats as well glad to hear that... lumberton had a goalie several years back who would take any chance to hit you with a knee, shoulder, elbow, or cleats up tackle if he could. i always hated cheap goalies, because the officials are really quick to protect them when you retaliate by taking the opportunity to retaliate on the next 50/50 ball.

close enough, we'll claim him.

i hate that i missed it... couldn't be avoided. congrats tigers, now go wrap up that playoff spot.

i just looked at their roster and there was nobody from this area on it.

i'll continue my reverse jinx trend. Cleveland by 4.

final?

what's her total, now?

way to go, PAM!

congrats!

way to go!

sounds like a heck of a game!

Congrats, Tigers! ya'll keep playing like this, it's going to be tough for anyone to stop you!

i missed this one, had a b-day party to attend... way to go hawks!!! keep it going!

more like "done to death by slanderous tongue..." think about it.

Silsbee, but there are a couple of other teams that are capable.

i know, right? have each owner give 6-7 million. they won't notice it's gone, and they can recoup it in about 3 weeks, as expensive as tickets are.
