Should have taken that bet from AAW

Hearing it will likely be mackey. 

North Shore OC is a front runner. 

Mackey interviewed today. Several options and outside chance they make a choice tonight. 

I am not sure what part of houston you are driving from but it isnt 4 hours from 99.9% of Houston. 

The semi will be a joke. Final Silsbee will have to play but they will win. 

They toy with people. They are that good.

Duly marked and willing to make a wager with you on it.

Maybe things have changed. You definitely know more than I do. 

Navasota has some very good athletes and they kill the boards. Reality is Silsbees below average is better than most in the state. 

Also Silsbee is good enough to force you to run. HJ didnt press in either game and were very succesful for 6 of the 8 quarters against Silsbee. Problem is they are so good at some point they will force you to run because you don't have enough gaurds to stay patient on the press. It's like it happens and you never knew it. 

Navasota doesn't have the shooters to play with silsbee. Navasotas only chance is to slow it way down, have the best 3 point shooting night of their life and Silsbee have the worst. That still probably won't be enough. 

It will be an outsider. Mark it down. 

Ozen has produced D1 players that have been really good. Others havent. The talent is better period. Central and Silsbee have had some recently but overall Ozen's is superior. 

Ozen's talent has and continues to be far superior to anyone in this area. That is a simple fact. With that said Saveat is a fine coach and deserves recognition. 

While HJ has been on the winning side the games have all been great. Navasota is far overdue to beat HJ but who knows. Should be a good one. 

Yes. Limited minutes. 

Silsbee just flat out better than everyone. If they don't win it this year I am not sure it will happen. They are really good. No.....they are great. 

What parents fail to realize in college recruiting is one of the first questions coaches ask high school coaches is "what are the parents like?"  College coaches won't and don't have to put up with parents who "think" they know. It is a huge detriment to the kids.

I'm not talking from a fans perspective. I'm saying maybe the player thinks thats the case. Just a guess. 

15 & 16 year old kids aren't evaluating talent around them and making decisions where to go to school based on that. If they are and parents are listening....well that speaks volumes about them. 

people have been saying hj is gonna be down next year every year for as long as i can remember...that pipeline is plenty full...just because no one is on a message board touting their young kids as the next great thing doesnt mean anything

The fun thing is to compare them. Lincoln may have been the better team but no one would have ran that HJ team out of the gym. No one.

They were really good teams from Port Arthur...But Coach Gamble said it himself...The BEST Lincoln team was the 95 team that featured Stephen Jackson (NBA) and Keith Harris (Tulane). They had it ALL. Next he said, was the 1991 Lincoln team featuring Kelvin McKyer and Xavier Hinton.. His 1988 Team that had BJ Tyler was up there with those two teams as well. But to put 3A HJ in the conversation is just crazy...They were good, but not in the same league.

You can compare them. Clearly cosch sutherland thinks you can and I would say he is fairly knowledgeable!

Undefeated Ozen team has to be mentioned along with several of the 80’s PA Lincoln teams.  However, as I was reading through the book written by Charles Breithaupt “Press On” about the 1991 Hardin-Jefferson team Todd Sutherland is quoted in the book saying, “This was the best team I have ever been around and I have been blessed to be around some great teams.  I told my wife Jenny, ‘Don’t get used to this.  This team is not normal.’ “

 

ZERO teams have backed out in fact all have indicated they will be back with a waiting list half a dozen teams deep. Also would be pretty interesting that EC would be the replacement considering they are on different weekends and Big Sandy plays in both. You have no credibility hsbballfan. None!
