Congratulations to him and his family.

I  wouldn't buy a used car from the guy. And if I had a son capable of playing at that level I wouldn't steer him towards Calipari given the other options. But if he went there I would make sure I was as knowledgeable about the whole situation,   and in touch with my kid as much possible to insure they didn't blow smoke up his _ _ _, or make him feel like he was beholding to Calipari's  slimy arse.

I'm not a Calipari fan, but just like a High school coach is not responsible for getting a kid a scholarship  Calipari's job is to win games at UK not get kids to the pros. In regards to the Harrison twins they took the wrong advice thinking they could move into the top of the draft if they waited. They should have went as Freshman when they were being hyped. Their weaknesses were exposed in year 2.

I played against his New Caney teams that had Jamie on them. He was a good coach and an even  better man.  

BS by 25 maybe 30 if they can frustrate Tenaha.

Tenaha is good. They like to play up tempo. Crash the boards very hard. They miss the PG but handled the ball well last night.

Defensively they forced several turnovers in their full court trap. Sabine Pass had early foul trouble that forced them to play a couple of players that normally don't get that much PT. #3 getting in foul trouble really hurt the Sharks.

Tenaha could give Big Sandy a game, but don't see them beating the Wildcats.

Aaw we must have been typing at the same time. I  agree with your overview.

If BS and Tenaha meet I'd take BS by 25-30. Tenaha is pretty athletic, and their coach made really good defensive calls to keep Sabine Pass off balance especially  when Sabine Pass got into foul trouble.    Even though Tenaha's press is fairly effective Big Sandy's level of execution would make them  pay for gambling too much. 

Final: Tenaha  92. SP 62

Tenaha 79-46: 4:35 in 4th

Tenaha 45-31 at the half 

Tenaha 31-26

Tenaha 23. SP 21. 6 left in 2nd

There are times when I feel bad for the kids and the coach , especially if they are just out manned.  But school districts have to place a certain  priority on winning.  I'm not saying win at all cost, but give the program what they need AND give the coach the latitude to RUN the program his / her way.

Final as reported to me Jasper 84 SP 60. 

Jasper 61. SP 42 1 minute left in the 3rd.

I believe that if you beat me by 50 points, than I need to do what it takes to be at least 51 points better next time. I can't blame my opponent if I can't compete.

Halftime: Jasper 46  SP 26

I'm not at the game, but getting updates. Jasper   39 SP 22 late in 2nd quarter.

That score is a final.

SP 81.  HD 38

He gotten and will get what he deserves , and when the ink dries you'll read about it.

I'm going to say this and be finished with this topic. There were some people on here that threw Shade at the kid and questioned his parents decision making. Some who were so called friends. In the end What God has for you  (The Ballou's) is for you and no man can take it away, prevent it or delay it. 

Sounds like sour grapes to me. He was the difference in his team finishing first. Jaylon got his MVP. Good luck to Miguez on getting his. PS I heard Jaylon's playing tennis this spring.

That was for the folks that minimized the kid after he left to do what was BEST for him.
