    As a past pollster, I can understand the logic behind Kelly's "fall" in the rankings. 

    I certainly understand that the top of TAPPS 3-6A is tougher than the top of 29-1A.  TAPPS 3-6A is downright brutal!  And I really do think that the pollsters took that into consideration as despite the early district losses Kelly maintained its #1 ranking in the 3A-Private Poll until last week and despite a current 4 game district losing streak Kelly still maintains a spot in the Top 10 of those rankings.

    However, there is only so much credit that you can give to a team for being in a tougher district and only so much you can penalize another for either putting a good streak together or being well above their district competition.  This is especially true when the spot in question is the #1 ranking in this or any other poll.

    Now as to who would beat who....yes....I'd take Kelly against any of the teams in the current 3A-Private Rankings and, quite frankly, I would like their chances against some of the teams in the current 6A-4A rankings.  However, this focuses on the difficulty that I know AAW and I have discussed in the football rankings and to some extent also here. That is when you have several classes being ranked in one poll, you can't always rely on hypothetical matchups in determining your rankings.  To sum up my convoluted paragraph into one sentence....while actual results count, mythical results don't necessarily do.

    Of course, in the end,  regardless of the past, current or future rankings in this poll, the fact that Kelly is not #1 puts it no further way from a potential state championship and the fact that Leggett is #1 puts it no closer to one

    Makes sense and to be honest with you, I like the drop. Gives me something to motivate the team with. They arent quite as cocky when they arent #1. I wasnt being bitter....just poking a little fun at the rankings :)

    Both Colton Weisbrod and Zach English had huge weeks for their teams this past week.

    Weisbrod averaged 19ppg & 11.5rpg last week while shooting 12/25 from the field and 14/17 at the line.

    English also averaged 19ppg while shooting 8/10 on 2pt FGs and 6/10 from downtown and 4-4 from the FT line.

    Congrats to a strong week by both of these former Bulldogs!

    Colton has a big game coming up Thursday night at home against 1st place Sam Houston. Lamar is looking pretty good right now and 3 of their 4 conference losses were by a combined 10 points. Those could have gone either way

    Is Kelly (still) the best basketball team in S.E.Texas as some wanted us to believe?

    I dont know who "some" is but I dont think anyone ever said they were. But Kelly is still one of the top 5 or 6 teams in the area. Dont let the district losses fool you. Those district losses have come to 25-8 Concordia, 22-13 St Pius and 20-4 Village. I dont think pollsters take that into consideration :)

    Yes dadgum it.  Funny is not allowed winwin.  I wanted to post this story about this traveling salesman who stopped at the farmers house, but, no way.  Another about a man with a monkey walking into a bar - nope.  Even poetry gets hacked.  Had a great limerick about this girl from Nantucket, but noooooo.  Btw, am I off topic? :) 

    Not here. You can post about nagging back pain if you wish

    It had nothing to do with you...or the comment you made referring to Silsbee.  WOSgrad had been butthurt and mad at me since football season because I said something one time about his football team that indicated that they weren't the best team in the universe.  He's been finding excuses to try to make me look bad ever since.  Watch...he'll reply to this thinking that I'm actually affected by it.

    No worries.

    Well I don't know about all that football talk. But I will say that WOS might be the best football team in the universe :)

    Man one little comment from little ol me and all of this. LOL. Sorry to cause such a stir. But I will defend the fact that my comment was on topic. The original top was Ozen's Head Basketball coach. After Coach Boutte was mentioned, it evolved into whether or not he would leave West Brook to take the job if open. In an attempt to explain my reasoning for him to stay in 6A, I referenced Silsbee as an example of a team in a smaller classification that would be very competitive in 6A. Couple of jokes later, it all gets twisted. Can you tell that Dove has been training me :) LOL

    This is entirely accurate if you change 6A to 5A.  If Silsbee was in 6A, they'd be a top-25 team, and while they'd be very competitive, they would have to pull multiple upsets to make it to a state championship.  Forgive me for not going through their entire schedule to make sure which out of town big city schools are 6A and which are 5A, but it appears Silsbee is a game or two above .500 this year against 6A.  They've  lost 5 games this season to 6A schools, including to 16-12 Hightower, 20-9 Taylor, and 18-13 College park, as well as two of the best 6A schools in the state.  That being said, none of those is a bad loss, but those three losses are more than enough to show me that Silsbee wouldn't be a favorite of any kind to win a title in 6A.  Great squad, would certainly be competitive, but there's just too much depth and that size for them to go all the way.

    Yea but they lost to those 6A teams because of dead leg caused by long bus trips and bad gym lighting :)

    Just for clarity purposes, the investigation is about funds from a JV tourney that was held at Ozen, not the Fred Williams Classic.

    It's my understanding Coach Saveat will be cleared of any wrong doing.

    The investigation was ignited by some parents "involved" with Ozen HS, if you get my drift.

    The timing here is very suspicious. Ozen comes off a loss to Central and an Ozen parent comes forward with something that allegedly happened in November? I can add 1+1.... Can you?
