I wouldn't say there's nothing to talk up,   because I can hear it in the kids voices and I see it in their eyes.
But like Coach Coleman said: What the kids have done; and are trying to do is not a Memorial expectation its a Port Arthur expectation. When Coleman came back and put Port Arthur instead of Memorial on the front of the new uniforms he laid down the gauntlet.  The kids have a new (OLD) point of reference and the desire and pride to play for PA is back.

Me too.

Play where I put you or sit down. Not complicated.

Good job this year Coach.

I'm guessing Sam is #2.  Kid can play, and like you, if he'd had more help, they would've been a force.  Still, I expect them to play a super game against Pineywoods.  If memory serves, they did last year.  Good luck Sharks.

I  agree with this a 100%. When Port Arthur schools  merged participation went down. I can't count the number of times I have been in the gym and seen 5 or six kids 6'5 or better on the court at the same time  in open gym. In rec league you have 6 teams and everyone of them has a big.  Then when the season comes 1 maybe 2 play for the school. My comment in the other post about hiring the wrong coach wasn't a dig at a particular coach or coaches it's was about knowing the community and seeing the lack of participation / support that came from the hire.

For everyone who hasn’t seen it, good stuff!

Problem is many kids are intimidated before the game starts and play scared.  And you can’t play scared to make a mistake against a team that thrives on forcing them.  Snowball effect.

Legacy - 59

Nederland by 15 maybe 20 depending on the pace of the game.

Seems simple....refs had somewhere to go. 

Some time it's just not your day. WOS made some mistakes, maybe some of the play calling could have been more aggressive BUT that Pleasant Grove team was extremely good, very well coached and they deserved to win today.
I think WOS ran into a larger version of themselves and couldn't WILL their way to a victory. They gave a hell of an effort and NEVER QUIT.

Did you see what happened when Chaka ran?  Did you see the hits he took?  Pleasant Grove Hawks were ALL over them.  Most rushing plays most passing plays.
I don't what some of y'all were watching today, but it certainly wasn't the game I just saw!  I saw a great team that ran into an even better team and that better team won.

What a great game.  Congrats Sharks.

Legacy is going to continue to get better as the season goes on. They have a VERY good young coach. Once the kids really grasp what he's trying to do they will be a tough out in the playoffs.

Warren won by about 20, Sabine Pass trailed by 3 at the half and then fell apart.

Now Pineywoods is a bad team, last week it was said they would beat SP by 30. I don't know if they took your fishing license while you were in Sabine Pass or you got something against the kids from PA. But guess what kids from PA have won SEVEN STATE TITLES. So who has the REAL ballers.
 

I don't know how this regressed to Memorial vs Silsbee (which would be a good game and should be scheduled next year).  I wouldn't say Jones is the best player from this area but I would probably say he is underrated.  Someone commented about his range, another on his ball handling and both are correct.  But the thing that impressed me most (and I saw him play either 4 or 5 times and I saw all the top teams in the triangle this year) was his midrange jumper. Hands down the best I've seen this year.  Granted, I may overvalue that shot and am a bit nostalgic and old school regarding the game, but I love a kid who can stop on a dime and consistently knock down the 12-16 footer.  I also love the elevation where he releases the shot.  Very, very difficult to defend.

Son,
    Thank you for four great years.  It has flown by, and Tuesday night is going to be tough.  I am proud of you.  Oh, not for being the biggest or the best but for being a great teammate.  Basketball is a team sport, and to be successful the team has to be successful.  Brady, Zach, Casey, Grant, Josh and you will be graduating and leaving a good legacy.  Go out tonight and have a blast.  Game day!!!!!  Overachieve and believe!  Push each other, play for each other and let's make a playoff run.

Maybe we can help you guys more than we've been able to help ourselves.

Pineywoods     72
