By the way my slightly ignorant and completely biased opinion is that the district will end this way.

1. PNG

2. Central

3. GCM

4. Vidor

5. Ozen

6.Nederland

7. Lee

8. Lumberton

 

I think Lee might suprise a team or two this year. If I remember correctly, their coach was hired late in the year. He didn't have enough time to mold them into "his" team. They have always had some good atheletes. If he's any good it'll start to show this year.

​I thik the Old Coach is getting a little senile. GCM has 14 returning starters and possibly the most athletic backfield in the district with 6' 4" 320 lbs #77 "Big Diesel" serving up pancakes and paving the road for them. The defense was very porous last year but with 8 returning starters they should at least improve some. No way they end up in last place unless they have injuries to numerous key players. They'll be in the running for a playoff spot this year.

You're in the same boat I was in last year. My oldest is in fish camp at GCM and my youngest is in 8th. Gentry's 8th grade should be strong again this year. I don't know nuch about the incoming 7th graders.

​Do you know how many of those "bigguns" are returning this year?

Well, to be fair to Crosby, if there was a state championship for cow tipping, they'd have us beat by a mile.

Anyone know the out come of the Horace Mann games last night?

Sure haven't. Do you know who they played?

Gentry vs Cedar Bayou

 

7B Gentry lost ends the season 5-3

8B Gentry wins and wins district, ends the season 8-0

8A Gentry wins and wins district, ends the season 8-0 in district and 14-1 over all.

 

Haven't heard anything on the 7A Team yet.

 

Great season Mustangs!

Gentry 7B beat Dayton by 6

Gentry 8B beat Dayton by alot

Gentry 8A beat Dayton by 40

Not sure of 7A yet but I heard they beat Crosby last week.

 

As far as records, I think Gentry 7A just has the loss to Highlands. 7B has two losses. 8A and B have no district losses.

 

Cedar Bayou is next on the schedule.

Gentry vs Crosby:

 

7B lost by four -They had a couple of kids moved up to A team to replace kids they lost and it hurt.

8B won by one - Heard it was an exciting finish.

8A won by six - Still playing without our star shooting guard, but he'll be back next week.

 

Haven't heard anything on 7A yet.

12 - 19 over the last two years. I'm not too heart broken about it.

HJS 7B took 2nd place in the Galena Park Tourney losing to Cunningham.

Congrats, Cunningham is always tough. For some reason Gentry's B teams don't play in any tourny's. My 7th grader's not happy about that.

Gentry 8A gets it's first and hopefully only loss of the year. They take 2nd place in the Baytown Tournament beating Highlands and Cedar Bayou before losing to Huffman in the Championship game. Our star shooting guard was held out of the tourney and then our star point guard became sick during the championship game and did not play alot in the second half. That being said, the boys played with a lot of heart and gritted out two tough wins and stayed even with a strong Huffman team up until the final minutes. Good job Mustangs!

Gentry has a bye week this week, their 8A team will be playing in the Baytown Tournament at Horace Mann tomorrow and Saturday. First game is against Highlands at 6:15 friday. Other teams in the tournament are:

 

Cedar Bayou, Horace Mann, Baytown Jr., Crosby, Galena Park, and Huffman.

 

GCM, any word on your 8th grade team?

Its rough watching jr high basketball.

At least ya'll are winning like us. I try and focus on how the kids are improving.

 

How close was the game? We play Dayton in three weeks.

 

In fact we have a bye week next week, Crosby, Dayton, and Cedar Bayou. I haven't heard much on Cedar Bayou except that the B team went 1 and 3 in the San Jac invitational tounament.

Gentry 7A beat BH north by 13 or 15.

Thanks.

Gentry 7B, 8B, and 8A all beat BH North tonight. I haven't heard anything on the 7A game yet.

BH North 7A 2-1 lost to Highlands beat Horace Mann, Baytown Junior

BH North 8A 2-1 lost to Highlands beat Horace Mann, Baytown Junior

 

We play Gentry when we return from Christmas break.  I hope some of those Gentry boys get out of shape over the holidays.  All 4 of their teams are tough.  

Well my two have had their share of junk food already and will be getting plenty of fudge and candy over the next couple of days. Fortunately their outside burning it off playing ball on our goal.

 

How is your 7B team doing?

 

Gentry's played the following teams

 

7A Lost to Highlands beat BH South, Horace Mann, and Baytown Jr.

7B Lost to Horace Mann beat BH South, Highlands, and Baytown Jr.

8A Beat BH South, Horace Mann, Highlands, Santa Fe, Deer Park Fairmont, Galveston Central, Pearland South, and Baytown Jr.

8B beat BH South, Horace Mann, Highlands, and Baytown Jr.

So now that we're at the break, what's everyones record. Does anybody know the Dayton and Crosby records? We haven't heard anything from them.

Anybody know any other district scores?

Blutarsky. What team did your 7th grade boy make? We play at gentry today.


Gcmpats. Is your boy playing tonight. Mine is playing today.

7B. He only played some garbage time in the fourth. Needs to work on his ball handling.

 

Gentry 7B, 8B, and 8A all won. Do you know who won the 7A game?

I hate to see that Highlands 8A lost one of their top guards last week to a fractured foot or ankle. He's a good kid he's played football and baseball with my eigth grader since T-Ball.
