[quote name="TopDawG52" post="1369036" timestamp="1359760205"] Yates is 3A.  U got to be kidding me  ;D.    No more talking for me. Come feb 16th.  The players will to the talking on the court.  Either I will be wrong or alot of ppl on this forum will be wrong... I like my chances.  Kountze isnt #1. In 2A because of 2 players..  they have a solid team but those 2 are lights out from outside n thats what opens up defenses for arnold to pentrate.  Williams will be solid inside he plays like a 6-6 with a 6-2 frame [/quote] I'm not familiar with "pentrate."  And Williams is gonna' have to play like two 6-6 players for Kountze to keep up with Yates. :)

I assure u the dawgs want none of them lions.  So if Kountze beats yates does this make kountze the best team 1A-4A CAUSE yates Still would be the best team in 4a right ? [/quote] ::) ::) Back away from that little brown jug you are drinking from. ;D [/quote] Well Einstein, I hate to break the news to you, but Yates is classified as 3A now. ;D

[quote name="TopDawG52" post="1368976" timestamp="1359753033"] My reasons to believe kountze can beat yates is they can 1better shooters outside 2 are deep.  3. Can run with yates.   Onky advantage I give to yates is height.  And fundamental. Boxing. Out eliminates that.  Like I said if powell and harper are on, KOUNTZE WINS [/quote] So, it gets down to two players on the Kountze squad for them to win.  You are pretty shallow in your analysis and expectations. ??? 8)

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1368819" timestamp="1359729261"] (1)Yates will have an advantage because Kountze will go in a little star-struck for a quarter or two (2) Kountze will have an advantage because Yates will come into the game knowing that they are playing a bunch of small town country boys whom they have never  heard of, and (Yates) mentally not into it for a quarter or two. Again, if your outside shooters are hitting, Kountze will give Yates a run for their money. Make no mistake about it, Yates will control the boards. [/quote] I have trouble giving BD3 credit for anything he says, but I pretty much agree with him on this assessment. :)

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1368667" timestamp="1359671973"] How deep is Kountze? If Kountze shooters are hitting their shots, they could give Yates a fit, If not, a long night ahead. [/quote] Agree - if Kountze doesn't come out "Star struck" they will be competitive.  This could be a classic coaching game for Joubert. 8)

[/quote] Bedelmon, you are such a piece of work that I went back and read all the posts on this thread.  You haven't shown yourself to be any smarter that I first thought you were, but one interesting point did surface.  You played for Coach Steve Shaver at French?  Steve was a runt of a freshman in high school where I was a senior.  It was a small high school and often we didn't suit up enough players in practice to have two full squads.  But Steve was there everyday getting his little freshman butt run over regularly.  I left and went off to college and I next saw Steve when he was a senior at Sam Houston State.  Boy, how he'd grown - I mean REALLY grown.  At that party he came up to me and casually asked, "Wayne, how would you like to try to run over me now?"  I was smart enough not to try it.  My point is, if you played for Steve Shaver, I'm pretty certain that he would be disappointed in your ranting about the Head Football Coach and if you were in uniform, he would probably slap you us 'side your helmet and have a few choice words for you.  Just an observation on how you are going about things there at H-J, bedelmon. 8)

I realize youth sports have nothing to do with High School sports. My point is your exact point, how can you say in the 7th grade what a kid is going to do as a freshman, or senior? Thats what we have been doing here..... I understand that posting something on here, I'm subject to your ridicule and twisting of my words, and I realize you guys have nothing better to do than get on here than badger people [b][b] I have 2 boys that play football for HJ and take offense when you say "he did the best with what he had to work with". He has had plenty to work with.[/b][/b] [/quote] I could give a rats rear end to what you take offense to.. I will stand by what I said, Coach Martel and his staff did the best they could with what they had to "work with" To come on here and pretend you know what or implying you know what is best for the program is laughable. So you resort to cut downs about bycycle seats and massengill. Question, Are you one of the parents who stand outside the field house glad handing the coaching staff after games and telling them what a great job they are doing? [/quote] No, I dont do that... I am the one sitting in the stands pissing off all the other people that accept mediocrity from their football coach. I am the one that goes to the AD's face and says "your wrong" we have athletes here at HJ. We proved it this year by being in every game we played. Nothing in the program changed, only the kids. So you being from Silsbee knows what is best for our program? Thats laughable. His staff???? The ones that care, had their hands tied! . I havent missed an HJ game or practice in 2 years so yes, I probably do know a little more about what goes on in this program than you. Thanks for your input though hopefully our community will NOT take it into consideration... * Second warning- you don't take hints well do you? * [/quote] As far as I know, I don't know you and you don't know me - personally, I'm talking about.  But after reading your early posts I just thought you were a pompous-ass.  Now you have elevated yourself to another level.  I seriously doubt the veracity of your claim to have attended EVERY PRACTICE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS.  Logically, there are several reasons for my doubt.  Some of those practices had to have been in foul weather, whether it be cold or rain, and you were there.  Some of those practices were probably moved indoors because of really foul weather - and you moved indoors with them.  I would be willing to wager that not all of the last two year's team members can make that assertion.  Unless you were a team member or an assistant coach it is highly inconceivable that you attended every practice for the past two years.  But, since there isn't a teacher taking roll at practices, I can't substantiate my suspicions - but, neither can you.  Me suspects that you are as big a hoax at BarackO. ::) 8)

To Ozen, I would not be proud of the win, you had help (two on one).  To Vidor, be proud, you played hard.

I think Ozen is a very good team.  The Ozen players and fans know it.  They do not need some random Vidor fan confirming it. Vidor has a good team.  This may be the best Vidor girls BB team in history.  But the refs did not cost Vidor the game.  They got beat by a team that played better than them on Friday.  I just really hate to hear people complain about the refs.  Especially in a blow out!
