[quote name="CATMAN" post="1375408" timestamp="1361159094"] How can u put EC and SA ahead of BS When they have beat them both at there home court.  That suck big time aaw. [/quote] We have some posters that take these rankings WAAAAAY too seriously!!!! ::)

[quote name="colliecw" post="1375442" timestamp="1361200502"] This EC team is not the same team that BS beat at the BEGINING of the season.  EC had just started playing basketball, new offense, defense, coach, and 2 starters out with injury.  This team has come together as a group.  Each member of the current starting 5 have been a high scorer for at least one game and several of the bench players have been high scorers this season. Could EC beat BS now?? Don't know and neither does anyone else...  The rankings are based on now and you lose a game and you drop in the polls.  That is how this "unfair" world works. [/quote] I have only casually paid attention to EC basketball this season so I'm unable to refute any accurate points that you make in this statement.  I find it plausible that each of the five starters has been "high-point" for the game this season.  What seems to be a stretch is that SEVERAL of the bench players have also been high-point for the game.  Now, assuming that EC is carrying 12 on the varsity, that leaves seven on the bench - not considering foul-outs.  Could you be more specific in you quantity of SEVERAL?  And when you find the specific number would you please name them - just for the sake of clarification, I mean.

[quote name="Scatright" post="1374065" timestamp="1360847172"] Playactionpass, If high school kids only play to get to the next level, what happens to the 98% of the team that doesn't make it? If you think those kids are only out there to go play in college, you are nuts.  Those kids play to win games at the 4A high school level.  A coach with no credentials, but with college connections, will not help them win at the 4A level.  If they hire Brown, it will simply be a brother in law type deal and Central will continue to flop around in mediocrity.  The need to hire a credentialed high school coach, not a college position coach with "connections". [/quote] Scat, Scoop, Squat - whatever!  I seldom (in fact I think this is the first time) agree with you on ANY subject.  But, I do on this subject.  The brother-in-law connection (and in some cases, the nephew connecton) is too prevalent in the BISD - and it has been for a few years now.  To fix the alleged head coaching problems in BISD, a look one level above will be necessary.  Now that Uncle Thomas is gone maybe that is a possibility. 8)

[/quote] Solo, That just about sums it up......  :-[  I remember a few years back when this district had three teams in the top 20(Ozen,Central & Livingston). I can see having three teams make the playoffs when you have a district that strong. Four is pushing it to expect to have a competative game between a 1st place team and a fourth place team. Congrats to the other 20-4A teams. Ozen, Central and Vidor all advanced! [/quote] I guess I'm one of the few that think 4 teams in the playoffs is a good thing.  (Or at least not a negative thing) There are a few good districts out there that in some of those years like LR2014 noted have solid teams in at least the top 3 spots.  The majority of teams play some sort of "warm-up" game anyway...and any #1 views this as a warm up, but still has to keep their guard up.  #4 seeds are always hopeful and most play hard, but its not a realistic expectation for #4 seeds to prevail...so what's the big deal?  A warm-up game with a price if you don't stay on your toes. The UIL thinks its a good deal...lower classifications are adding an additional team to the playoffs next year. [/quote] Agreed! Not sure why some get angry about 4 going. At the end of the day you have to beat everyone to be #1. Plus there have been plenty of upsets in round 1 of any athletic competitions to keep the 4's in there.

[/quote] Yep, about as funny as a 4 game losing streak. ;) [/quote] all road games against The Village, St Thomas, St Pius, and Concordia with two of our starters playing injured not to mention they were all close games except the Village where our starting PG didn't even play. All those teams would beat every team ranked ahead Kelly except Kountze for sure. And Pius and The Village  would have good games with Kountze and almost any team in the Big School rankings. Pius already had a good game with Nederland earlier this year, lost by seven. And Village had a great time destroying your Tigers at the Nederland tourney  ;) not to mention Kelly has beat Cleveland, Big Sandy, and [b]beat Woodville in one of the worst games we have played all year.[/b] I'm not mad we dropped or anything, I could care less, I just think it's funny that some people even think of the teams above Kelly to even be around Kelly's level. Kelly is WAY better than those tests ahead of them they would run Broaddus out of the country much less the gym. A matter of fact I would put Kelly right between Ozen and Cleveland in the Big School polls. I just don't see how a 4 game ROAD losing streak against really good teams coming off of an 11 game win streak drops you from 2nd to 9th. [/quote] Lol so you play a close game with a team that's just as athletic (possibly more athletic) than you and now it's one of your worst games all year? Lol you played in a hostile environment and came out with a win against a very scrappy, athletic team. The fundamentals and shooting is what separates Woodville and Kelly. This ranking is about team performance and wins and losses. Not quality of opponent, for the most part. If you can't compete with the teams in your district, you should move down. I agree that Kelly has played much tougher opponents than most smaller teams in this area. I think we all get that. But four game losing streaks are going to get you moved down. No matter who you play, whether it was a bad game or not, or where it was. Impressive 11-game win streaks can be eliminated in the minds of people by poor play during district competition. [/quote] having seen Kelly play almost every game this year that was a terrible game for us. And we are definitely more athletic in my opinion. [/quote] fisherman2, you're too Catholic to be objective in any of these rankings that involve Kelly.  They are a good team - but the walking on water is over.  It really doesn't matter why they have lost four in a row - they have.  You can sit there and spin it until you get dizzy but it won't change anything.  Besides, it's just a poll based on the opinions of a lot of "usedtobe" athletes.  How much does it really matter?
