[/quote]Because neither school has a gym big enough to hold the crowd.  Not sure why HJ just built a new gym that is not big enough.......Should have built something like what EC has. [/quote] there is only 1 game a year that thier gym is not big enough, so why spend the extra money on building a bigger gym?

Question for Bluedove? If you put the best 10 guys from Dallas area and the 10 best from Houston together who would win? The reason im asking you, is you seem to have a better insight on all these guys.

[quote name="TopDawG52" post="1332717" timestamp="1353092994"] 07 was a great year for setx... ozen hj and ktz all at the state tour [/quote] 2007 was a great year for basketball in setx. You had 4a, 3a, 2a all represented at the state tourny plus silsbee was in the reginal finals and in 1a West Hardin was in the reginal finals along with Big Sandy being in the reginal tournament

It wont be that intimidating to ALTO.  ;)

I understand h-d is the best team in the district, and you do seem to be a very logical h-d fan.  h-d is definitely better than they were last year but you cant honestly think they are above average. I think kountze is a little below average small school team. Kountze isnt even going to make the playoffs in their district and they beat the bobcats. Every h-d team from about 2002- 2008 would have beaten this years kountze team and those h-d teams were just average. If i'm not mistaken none of those teams won a playoff game. Im all about supporting your team but bobcat 55 gets on here and talks like h-d is going to win state and beat the world, it really makes it hard for fans from other schools to root for the bobcats

Im pretty sure WH and colmisniel arent very scared of iola. Im not saying either of these teams will beat them but they will be in the game until the 4th quarter. Iola barely lost to H-D and H-D is an average team compared to some of the teams WH AND colmisniel have faced this year

Doesnt H-D have 2 or 3 move ins every year? What makes this move in help them get out of the first round? Is he going to be their best player?

He sounds like a great hire for H-D. this is not a shot at H-D but why did he leave those other places where he was obviously successful to come to a struggling team? maybe he likes a challenge

[/quote] No! Lol, we would be Liberty still same team but 4A, LOL, there was one kid on HD who could have played for Liberty and 1 kid maybe 2 on Hardin who would have played so we take Kale Rives and Chisholm Marberry and then go to 4A??? Definetly not [/quote] I agree this year and years to come theres not a whole lot of talent there but years prior to this year i would have done it in a heartbeat there were Lots of talent from all of these schools that could have easily competed at the 4A level 

Yes I know that, I was just talking about your point that talent no matter what school you are from gets found by MAJOR D1 schools

Not me personally I played way before aau was even thought about.  I have just seen this happen far to many times. And your point about getting in the senior showcase how many major colleges are still looking for a guy usually kids at that level have been being looked at by their  junior yr

Dove I agree to a certain extent. Tell me this you've got a guy that goes to a small school that lives 45 min from the nearest town and his parents can't afford to drive him into town  for aau  practice but is easily good enough to be the best player on the team but can't play. Then you have a kid that goes to a big school that lives 5 min from the school where aau practice is being held. That's 1sounds disadvantage.  Another let's say the same two kids are playing on the same night and they are both equal in talent and size but the kid at the small school is playing in the middle of nowhere tx. And the other kid is playing for let's say yates against wheatley where do you think those college coaches are going?  And a 3rd disadvantage is the small school guy has a young head coach with no connections and an AD that hates basketball and just wants football year around. And the big school guy has a head coach that has college coaches on speed dial. So you tell me which one has a better chance at going to a major D1. Now keep in mind im not saying the small school guy just scores as many points as the big school guy cause obviously the talent a small school guy plays against is alot weaker but im saying the small school guy if put in the same situation as the big school guy would have the exact same stats

In my opinion Ryan Danahoe, Brandon Letsinger, or [b]Tramaine Thomas all were very equal to the talent level of J'covan but they all went to small schools.[/b] Before people bash me, im not saying they were better but IMO J'covan wasnt head and shoulders better than  those three. My point is if J'covan is good enough to be they best player at Texas than thesthree easily could have played at a D-1 school somewhere. [/quote] Tremain hardly went to a small school. He went to the University of Arkansas on a football scholarship and has been starting at safety the last two seasons. [/quote] I didn't mean he went to a small college I meant a small highschool. Letsinger also went to a big college he went to Texas A&M on a track scholarship, after turning down a scholarship to angelina jc for basketball and a small offer from SFA to play basket my point was if those 3 would have gone to 5A highschools they would have gotten a D1 offers

Me and a buddy were talking about the last time lamer made the tournament when they played Duke and we couldn't remember who the guy from HJ who led lamer that night what was his name?

that is crazy for yall to actually think a team would play with a girls ball. First the refs would be able to tell the difference. plus what advantage would WH have by playing with a girls ball it would throw thier shots off also

Imagine that!  They consider H-D a comparable opponent!  ;) [/quote] WH finally has a good football team and your mouth overloads. Can't wait until the H-D Bobcats bust that WH bubble. I totally understand why you are so happy and excited, through the years WH have been one of the worst programs in the state. Congrats on winning a few ball games Oilcans!! lol  ;D [/quote] Well if WH has been one of the worse programs in the state than HD must have also because they have the exact same playoff record for the past 15 years

[quote name="mufasa" post="1073013" timestamp="1317692411"] Everybody was making these same predictions last year based on the records of both teams and remember what happened. West Hardin may be better than last year but so is Lovelady. 1-5 last year at this time, 5-1 this year. LL by at least 2 scores the Oilers haven't seen this much speed on the field this year. [/quote] Trust me speed is not what will hurt the oiler team they are very fast all over the field from skilled positions to lineman idk if they are as fast as lovelady but trust me speed wont be what hurts them in this game its a big brusing runningback is what will hurt this team they are very small on the D line

WH is a very solid team but Lovelady will be the best team they have played thus far, yes i agree that WH has been playing very average teams but they have been blowing out those average teams. i beleive had WH been playing a schedule with EC and buna on it they would have a great shot at beating the lions. I think  WH loses in a shootout 42- 35 before anyone jump on me no im not saying WH would beat EC or Buna but i believe they would be very close games and i am a ferm believer that you have to play better competition to get better

WH is playing very good team football right now lets hope they stay hungry because Evadale is always very diciplined and will fight tell the end. If WH can come out fired up i say WH wins 35 to 14

WH was laying the wood tonight. Kountze has a lot to look foward to this season they have some good athletes. I know im not at every kountze game or practice but i was more impressed with yalls two runnings backs that they used when number 7 went out.

I will give WH the edge only because they are at home. This will be a good game for WH to see what kind of composure this years team will have because to win i believe they will have to be diciplined enough to come from behind. This will be the first team they have played this year where they arent going to be able to do what ever they want. I hope WH can adjust to the competition level raising before they find themselves in too much of a hole.

I think it is a great idea WH played HD last night. There were no injuries and everyone involved players and fans had a blast. Its not everyday you can put on the pads and play football

why would they want to play nederland in a Warm-up game neither team would get anything out of that. i know not every fan from evadale feels the way blue does, and all respect to the evadale players but Blue gets on here and acts like they are one of the best teams in the area but they are really just a little above average 1A team. Now all that being said with thier size they will be some mach-up problems for some teams in the playoffs lets just hope they take advantage of it. i hope they represent SE Texas well and make a deep run in the playoffs

I think it is a very smart move for silsbee to play at Kountze. Not trying to disrespect Koutze at all but silsbee is a much better team than kountze so in order to get the best game you can out of Kountze play them at home where they always play thier best. Silsbee 78 Kountze 60
