[/quote] From what I understand there are several larger schools that are having difficulty in finding games for Soph teams so Coach Franklin is doing all he can to get a good schedule to help develop younger / less experienced players. I think if you split the Kountze JV and put some of your more advanced players on one team and make them play up than they first of all play more and second, get better because of the quality of teams they are playing against is better. Then you take the other team and continue your current JV schedule...they play much more and get better and more seasoned. I applaud the Coaches trying to focus more attention on the JV program because it is the lifeblood of the Varsity program. [/quote]That's funny!!! I will leave it at that. [/quote] And well you should.  You've lost the argument. 8)

[/quote] Not from either, but my original sentiments are still the same.  Why do we have moderators, or any others for that matter, involved in this stuff six months before the season starts.  Take it personal and leave the board space for something more interesting to EVERYBODY.  I'm back from the BRENCH (?). ::)

[quote name="camsdad" post="1381782" timestamp="1362239894"] Hardin will when at least two non-district games and at least two district games next season.  They will be much improved in all areas.  Solid leadership makes a huge difference.  They have a coach that is inspiring these kids to believe in themselves.  All of the kids are much stronger and faster than last season and this will be evident in the games. [/quote] Would you explain something to me?  This is 2nd of March, so football season was over roughly 3 months ago - how did all those players get so much stronger and faster over the past 3 months; especially when school was out for about two weeks of that period?  Just curious? ::)

Congratulations to all. [/quote] Good Morning Big Girl  :), while Holmes was by far the most "exciting / athletic" player on that roster I personally didn't see him as the MVP on that team let alone in the district. My statement is predicated on the fact that he fouled out ot entirely to many of their "big" games throughout the season, although he was a consistent scorer for the squad I actually felt that D. Thomas was a huge catalyst for them by distributing the basketball out of the post the way that he did which benefited quite a few of his teammates that are now in contention for alot of these forthcoming awards.... [/quote] In how many games this season did Holmes foul out - either "big" or otherwise?

[quote name="fisherman2" post="1380863" timestamp="1362058974"] Not surprised to see Paige get MVP he played great in all the games I saw them play this year. He couldn't miss a shot against Kelly. He hit one step back three from the free throw line. Kid is athletic and can shoot. [/quote] I'm trying to understand your statement about a three from the free throw line.  If he was at the free throw line and stepped back to get to the three point arc . . . that's one giant step for basketball kind.  Less hype and more accuracy, please.

You cant say he was a better shooter if you dont know what Bosha's percentage is. How many steals did he avg per game? In my opinion Zjori is the complete package. Tell me what his flaws are?
