Good game BS

Big Sandy by 27

Canadian isn't the same team they were last year. Good chance they'll lose tomorrow night.

I know they were beat by Tenaha by 40+ points.   And their girls were beat by Evadale by 40 points.  Based on that info, I'd say Big Sandy wins by 40  

I actually saw a little of the their game last night.  Only suited up 7 players.  Should be an easy win for BS.

The Big Sandy Wildcats begin their quest for the Class 2A State Championship tonight as they take on the Lufkin Pineywoods Academy Wolves.  The Wildcats, 32-2 on the season and the Champions of District 24-2A, completed a perfect district record with a 100-26 win over Port Arthur Bob Hope last Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Wolves, who finished the 23-2A district race in fourth place with a 54-49 loss to Zavalla.
The winner of this game will face the Price Carlisle/Martinsville winner in the area round.

Buna upsets #2 team in District 24....78-75

Sorry, I don't like when teams are still pressing and shooting three's in 4th Q when up by 30-80 points no matter if they have their bench players in. This includes my Silsbee Tigers.
In those cases, you cannot tell me the game cannot be played in a different manner. Never liked the "kick'em when they down" mentality.
I can say I have seen games end up being 60-80 point blowouts with the winning team doing all it could to keep the score down as much as possible. It was just the other team was very bad. But I have also seen teams still pressing, playing up tempo when leading by 50 in 4th. That to me is completely unnecessary.

Way to go Ladycats!!

Because we don't broadcast their games means we don't cover them? There are several, several teams we do not broadcast that we still cover on this site. I have been to several Big Sandy games.
FYI, our broadcast partners at 92.3 The Eagle do Big Sandy games.

Fist of all, Angel is a fine player and will play college basketball somewhere.  He’s a great young man with great character and a strong academic record.  That being said, people fail to realize that recruiting is so much more than being good enough.  Recruiting is about being good enough, fitting the need of the university, fitting the style of play of the coach, meshing with the coach, getting seen, and finally the coach deciding that the particular player is his number one target.  So many coaches now are more concerned with fitting a particular physical profile as opposed to established skill set.  Most coaches would rather a 6’4” freakishly athletic kid with potential over a 6’1” kid, not very athletic, and an already established skill set.  Recruiting has changed to the point now that just playing AAU is not enough.  If you want to get noticed, you have to play on the right team and lots of times that is not enough.  You better be playing on a team that either has a player that is already being recruited or will play against players that are already being recruited.  That’s the only guarantee to get seen on the summer circuit.  Your AAU team can play in the biggest tournaments out there but, if you are off in some side gym the whole weekend then odds are you are not where the college coaches (DI at least) are.

As for Angel being able to play at Lamar or Sam Houston, that is another mistake that lots of people make.  Look at the Bosha kid from HJ for example.  He is the school’s all time leading scorer, arguably one of the best to come through there and he is barely touching the floor at Lamar.  On top of that, he is 6’5” and long and rangy.  To say any kid should have already received offers at this point in their senior year is not accurate.  Most smaller schools (NAIA, DII, DIII) will do the majority of their signings in the spring time of a player’s senior year.  That is when those schools are most active.  Heck, there are not a whole lot of schools period that are out recruiting heavily right now.  It is the heart of conference play, they are only out there if scheduling works out.

Recruiting is like selling a home.  You can put your home on the market for $200,000 but, if the best offer you get is $150,000 then that is what the market says your house is worth.  And if you don’t get any offers then unfortunately, then you may not sell your house.

Angel has a great coach who, I have no doubt, is working very hard to help him in any way possible.  People also must understand that the recruiting process is a group effort.  It is not just the high school coach’s responsibility, it is not just the parent’s responsibility, nor is it just the AAU coach’s responsibility.  It is everyone’s job to work together to do what is best for the kid and then let the chips fall where they may.  

Making some calls. Hopefully someone gives him a chance.
