Look his team whose coach you don’t care for is eliminated.  You just make sure if you guys get Huffman, your Lions let them know “karma is a B.”   Tell Wise when they hit a hundred, hit that gas even harder.   They are all below average compared to JY. 

This year is not JY Year, giving up to many points and I doubt if we score 100 moving forward in the playoffs.  Yates has to take this thing game by game.

Thank you sir. Maybe some day I will measure up to the lofty bar you set .

You will never measure up as long as you continue to call particular teams as "average" lol

Yes things are watered down, but good teams should be able to beat average teams in the playoffs.

Historical victory all depends on what school you're talking about. It won't mean the same for Hardin Jefferson as is does for Bridge City.

BC ain't a bad team. From what I've seen they look decent at the lower classes as well.

I agree, HJ should have beaten BC, not losing any sleep that HJ lost.  BC is a average team ???

It has everything to do with a different time/different place. In years past where you didn’t take 4 teams to the playoffs a good runner up team stayed home. Now days a very average team can make “playoff history “ when in fact there might have been better clubs in “school history “ that didn’t make the “playoffs “.

Ok

I get it.  You don’t like HJ or their coach based on comments last year.  But while digging at them, you kind of insulted the team that beat them.   Obviously Yates is below average if you compare them to Duncanville (who beat the brakes off of them) or even a United or Hightower team who would likely beat the brakes off of the Lions.  
 

I generally don’t have a problem with Yates.  I will root for them against one team in particular in the region, and will always root for them against any team from the Metroplex.  

Yes Sir we don’t mind losing (get the brakes beat off us) to those elite, above average teams, but don’t complain when Yates beat the brakes off teams that are below us.

Tell you what if BC makes it to the Regionals this year I will give them a Good Team Rating.

I’m sure you would like to give the population thing a rest.  Just like the 21 year old likes to shave before he goes to school the 12 year olds.  
 

I think this BC team has much to be proud of.  They are as good a team as I remember them having in a long, long time.  So while they aren’t on a Yates’ standard and don’t need 3 rows of chairs to complete a 27 player bench, I wouldn’t call them average.  I would call them a good group of young men who play extremely well together.  And a team that just achieved a major win for their program. 

I never said this BC Team was on the level of Yates Sir, Yates isn’t on the same level with those Dallas Schools (Faith Family, Duncanville). This was A Big Win for BC today but it doesn’t change the fact that they are an average team. I guess my rating system is different from others, a Good Team wins their district or finishes in 2nd place. A Good Team makes a deep run in the playoffs. I look forward to playing BC in the Quarters (if they beat Wharton) and if we are able to beat the Silsbee v HF winner. Hey this is my personal opinion.

Don't count out them Silsbee Tigers 😁

Yates vs Silsbee should be an up and down track meet, 32 minutes of fun. It’s no secret that that Yates will run and press and use their bench

Average compared to whom?  Yates?  Then I would agree.  But that is a senior-laden group who play very well together.  Can they compete with the big bad Lions?   Likely no.  But they also draw from a population base of 8k compared to 2.3 million.  That’s right, you have roughly 287 times the population base of Bridge City from which to recruit.  I understand it has been a down year recruiting for Coach Wise but your student body of athletes is still one any coach down here would salivate for.  
 

So when you denigrate a team by calling it average, just remember you are the 21 year old playing in the park with middle schoolers.  Congratulations I guess??

Let’s give the population thing a rest, this senior laden group who play very well together could not beat a freshman loaded Silsbee Lite Team. I didn’t see anyone talking about Bridge City making any noise in the playoffs, but this could be the dark horse in the playoffs this year. I can’t say this is a above average or elite team that finished third in their district this year. 
 

TxHoops I’m curious on how you rate this BC team ??? 

This was HJ year to possible beat Yates (if they would have played each other), but HJ couldn’t beat an unranked, average Bridge City Team.  I love it that HJ and their head coach took that L. 

I had HJ making it to the Quarters

I would also take the flip side of that coin. HJ or HH are both very capable of beating Yates this year. Both have solid clubs . In the past several years anyone who was honest with themselves in this region other than Silsbee knew they weren’t beating Yates. Do I think HJ or HH will beat Yates ? I have no idea but the gap has definitely closed. 

Yates needs to focus on Sealy, Please remember your prediction, hopefully we will get an opportunity to discuss it later in the playoffs

Oh didn’t know they were doing it that way.  So definitely favors Yates.  I would say the best three teams in the classification are FF, Argyle and Carter in no particular order.  If Yates doesn’t have to face any of them until the Finals, sets up a much easier path for the Lions. 

This year teams won't have to worry about their winning percentage for the match-ups in The State Semi-Finals.  I like this format this year where Region 1 & 2 vs Region 3 & 4

Yes Sir it is possible that Faith Family vs Carter in the Regional Final, Paris might have a say in the Regional Semi- Final game against Carter (Paris beat Carter last year).

 Argyle (Region 1) vs Faith Family (Region 2) in one State Semi-Final. 

 I would love to see Yates (Region 3) vs Stafford or LaMarque (Region 4) in the other State Semi-Final Game (game should be in or near Houston).
