Imagine how many you’d have been to if you hadn’t waited until your 20s to start going…

Mine either, it's like a normal thing. I bet if FF was from this area though they would have an issue with it. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I know this is beating a dead horse but I still don't understand how FF is 4A. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I know the all district selection argument has always been “it’s about recognizing the kids” which is true. Personally I think it should be recognition of the very best. A reward for hard work and performance. Selection of 20 all district players in a 7 team district waters down the award for the players who are actually deserving. Pick 5 players on 1st team and include them as the superlative players. Pick 5 on the 2nd team and you’ll actually start recognizing kids for their accomplishments again. Under no circumstance would I open the selection process to parents and slide shows and stats. You’d have lil Johnnys Little Dribbler game winning shot on the projector. JMO for what it’s worth as a fan.

First of all, in regards to the #1 seed game. I know that Orangefield wanted to flip and not play but Kountze said no. They wanted to play the game. So Orangefield had to agree to play or concede the #1 seed.
As for the superlatives go, I actually thought that Whitmire and Joubert should have been Co-COY. They both did tremendous jobs with their respective teams. I usually don't like Co's but in this case I think it's deserving and would have been the right thing to do.
I think the coaches got the MVP right. IMO, Sells is the best player and performed that way all season. I think Scales getting Offensive MVP is right on the money and Wrinkle getting Defensive was the correct call too. IMO, Wrinkle was more valuable to his team but isn't the scorer that Scales is. This is based on some of the games I have watched live and on video. When I talk to folks at the games it's always brought up how Wrinkle is Orangefield's "glue guy" (does it all) but just doesn't have the offensive game that Scales has. 
All in all, I think the coaches have it right.
Just my opinion. No shade thrown anywhere.

I gotta ask the age old question, is there anyone who doesn’t make all district?

@Cu Chulainn I believe my sentence started with Ghost is a good player, come on man no need to get so worked up. 
 
I do think you miss the fact that people tend to poke at you a little bit with some of your outlandish takes and bizarre behavior. 

Who is down playing him? 

I wish you'd quit pretending that 18-13, 12-6 is somehow better than 9-22, 5-13.  

Blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile… 

That was understood from jump street. We uplift our own and do not bring them down. Enough of that goes on in the world. Again I wasn’t comparing. Just making a comment about Kobe. And from what I understand it’s more of a laceration and not an avulsion fracture. Two completely different kinds of injury. Kayde I’m sure wants to play very badly regardless the extent of that injury. God bless him 🤲🏽

Blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while. lol

Agreed.  And teams tend not to shoot it very well against Hitchcock.  I wonder why?

My undying respect 

I wish you'd quit pretending that 18-13, 12-6 is somehow better than 9-22, 5-13.  

Ponder will have to shoot as well if not better than they did today from 3 to have a chance. I feel like its very similar to an Argyle Silsbee type game. Ponder has to force Hitchcock to play at a slower tempo to have a chance.

I'm sorry that you had to call the police on us for asking questions that you can't answer.

Alright help me and the rest of the slow folks in this thread out. If you're not comparing Kobe to Dotson then how are we supposed to interpret "if Kobe had this same injury and it was a game 7… he would play and likely drop 40"? What are the context clues in that statement that we are missing? Please help us understand what it means.

Then why bring Kobe up in this thread if intent was not to compare?
Kobe Bryant is completely irrelevant to this situation. Was completely unnecessary to bring it up.

I wish you'd quit pretending that 18-13, 12-6 is somehow better than 9-22, 5-13.  

Bristow transferred in from WF Rider last year. As did his sister, who led Holliday to the state title last year. She’s playing at Iowa State now. 

I wish you'd quit pretending that 18-13, 12-6 is somehow better than 9-22, 5-13.  

LU beats Houston Christian 78-68.
Lamar finishes regular season 18-13, 12-6 in conference. They have clinched the #4 seed and a first round bye in the tourney.
A Nicholls St. loss tomorrow night at Southeastern will move the Cards up to the #3 seed. 

in a thread discussing a 17-year-old high school kid's injury, you posted that if Kobe had the SAME injury, he would play and probably drop 40.  That's the literal definition of comparing one to the other.  Let's get back to the game.

Throw book smarts out the window, son. You brought up and compared an 18/3 high school kid to arguably a top 5 player of all time. Your common sense, or lack thereof, should've told you that one probably should've been kept in your almighty think tank.
