Those east coast guys love to mix it up.  They play hard and they are physical as hell usually.  Doesn’t mean they always play fast, but you will feel it at the end of the game.  It is very interesting to watch different brands of basketball played regionally throughout the country.  

Somewhat true I think they soft actually just a little we come from a football mentality we know how to bring it in Texas and those country boys are built tough. Texas is the New Mecca for basketball. More players playing in both men & women than any other state ...

Idk anything about the first game for silsbee but that second round game against Walker or Bishop Loughlin (Brooklyn) should be a challenge.  Both are usually tough.  

I THINK Silsbee can make it to the semis maybe play for 3rd which would be great!!! That guard play can win you some games they just have to play smart

That might be a good first round game, huh?   I know scotlandville shouldn’t be as good after graduating Smart but MaxPreps has them at 19-0 for what that’s worth. 

Lol that was the safe pick ..WHite Station is always good though !!!!

My pick would be White Station out of Tennessee

North shore is one of those teams that won’t beat themselves.  They are talented, but they also play very disciplined.  I’m not saying United “can’t” beat NS, but I certainly wouldn’t bet on it.  They are going to have to get a LOT better and quickly.  

They will not beat North Shore !!!! Coach Benitez is a very good coach and those kids at NS have bought in. Deer Park will give them problems and of course WB....But of these guys are fans so i don’t expect them to truly understand what is going on when all you beat is mediate teams that isn’t anything to celebrate the exact mentality when i talk about participation trophies it’s a dangerous facade to give these kids. This team is playing .around .500 basketball almost and if you have to rely on a guy who  had a major injury to help( no shot at Dotson that’s my guy) then idk what to say !!!!! Dotson will help but that region is tough too many good teams out there to just show and participate

United falls to Cinco Ranch 41 67 plays the loser of NS or Ridge Point

This isnt for you UWS ,,,but do others still want to have this conversation ,no way on this earth should this team get beat by almost 30.... One quality win on the year for Cinco Ranch and that’s against Eisenhower.. There is a disconnect between players and coaches . When all you do is yell,scream and cuss and not correct and teach kids will check out on you !!!!!! 

Any scores from the other games ???

Silsbee on a collision course with Lancaster that will be a very good game!!!!!!

I knew when I heard Tekoa was going to be in the Gamble it was downhill. Now i see their JV team is in it wow. Gotta start doing pool play so team can get more games. They don’t wanna drive 3-4 hours for 3  games.  And for God sakes hire RCSPORTS !!!!!!!

St.Pius vs PA Memorial in the championship 

Start coaching to win instead coaching not lose , United was up 11 pts at the start of the 4th qtr. You have a division 1 guard no way in hell you lose that type of lead. Do you think if Boutte has what United has he would struggle hell no!!!!!! If ppl do not see the glaring problems then you don’t know the game, it’s the same things every game so it can’t  be learning experience. Players have to be taught how to play especially this group of kids. You just can’t roll them out there with no offensive sets and the same predictable defense and think your giving your team a chance to win. It’s kids out there who trust what the coaches are telling so that means they haven’t bought in. Everybody ain’t Silsbee you can’t  just out hoop everybody. They might finish 3rd im district but y’all think that’s acceptable because it’s just learning experiences that’s the exact mindset those kids don’t need stop giving out participation trophies nobody wants that stuff. 

I know a guy who would’ve been perfect for United not only would he have them in their right positions but he made great in-game adjustments too!!!!!!  to bad he coaches in Temple !!!

Bro I didn't call any names and wasn't.  I agree, they are kids.  I was just stating that 3 had quit and from what I was told tonight, probably more soon. 

Awwww yea man I know you weren’t don’t take it wrong. And they aren’t only ones it happens at every Hs in SETX .

Saw the WB post with a boot on his right foot at the WB football game Saturday. Would that change your prediction if he's not playing?

Not at all 

West Brook wins by 10 tonight .

And to speak further on that topic not just on that situation all Hs coaches need to stop lying to kids you know from day 1 who you want on your team be upfront with these young men because this isn’t like the old days when kids wanted to be part of the team. KIDS WANT TO PLAY &  PARENTS WANT THEM TO AS WELL. So you have countless transfers and kids quitting. You cannot carry over 14 kids my number is 13 but your top 8-9 may play with the rest getting blow out minutes. No way on earth can you carry 15+ kids and try to implement that formula in 32 minutes.  I told ppl a long time ago kids will quit when they figure out they won’t get playing time some of yalll called me crazy but having been doing summer ball for 10+ years you see it happens every week and it carries over to Hs ball.

I think one started the game that I was at vs Silsbee but I'm going to try and confirm some names.  Maybe one of the other posters like Blackmamba has some information...

Don’t wanna sound like an a— Yes I do know but they are kids and I will not shame them on this board and neither should any other adult on here.  They decided it wasn’t for them so let them be basketball isn’t the end or beginning #Peace

They will be in the regional tournament. Where they go from there will be determined on how well they can shoot from distance and share the ball. They will also be getting a player back from an injury later possibly, who I believe is there best player. 

NO THEY WILL NOT !!!!!!!

Did HJ’s big struggle against Clover?

Lofton guarded and did an excellent job might’ve had 3 blks on him ,he didn’t really score until they exited the game but he played hard the whole night  ....
