You called me a fool.  Really?  You just up and call people fools when you disagree with them?  A kid is holding a sign that says TRASH and chanting while Jordan Adams is at the free throw line.  That is what happened.  I saw it.  In effect it singled one kid out calling him trash.  So at least one of the signs was completely inappropriate and any AP there should have removed it and admonished the kid.  

This is a school setting, an educational facility.  There are many things that are inappropriate in addition to the two things you list.  Students in a public school should not be permitted to demean student athletes from another school.  And frankly they shouldn't heckle.  Not everything that is fun can be permitted.  End of story.  

Seriously?  It’s. a. basketball. game!  Keep it clean, but c’mon.  The kids have fun, it makes for a good atmosphere.  You want them to sit on their hands?  Maybe fans should not be allowed to cheer at all, certainly not when an opposing players miss a shot.  That would be demeaning and might really hurt someone’s self esteem.  High school athletes can handle a little good natured heckling without the fun police having to step in.  Good grief.

Silsbee had the best 3 on the court though. Anytime one team has the best 3, I would think they should win. But in reality, Silsbee should NEVER beat any BISD school. Look at the amount of kids enrolled in the schools. It is ridiculous! Subject MIGHT have the most potential on the next level, but he is not the best player on that team. (Kasen is)!! But #4 ate Silsbee up last year and he barely touched the ball this year??? I believe BU has a great chance at making a deep run. I also feel very confident that Silsbee will win state again. 

In theory you are correct, the larger school should usually beat the smaller school, but I wouldn't say Silsbee should NEVER beat a BISD team, certainly not this Silsbee team.  The team that has the 3 best players even if its the smaller school will often win and usually should win.  Unlike maybe in football, 3 guys can flat out take over a basketball game regardless of how deep they are compared to the bigger school or even how talented the teams are from top to bottom.

This is just an opinion and reflection my son played on the Westbrook team that won district by beating North Shore and the next year lost to them all due to bad coaching never team didn't play to ability or out manned.  

And how many years ago was this?

I think HJ maybe having issues with the floor. 

What’s Kelly looking like this year?

So who are the top players participating in this showcase?  I only know of the guard at Morton Ranch, the tall guard at Dickinson, and of course the big guy from PA Memorial.

Probably leaving someone out but: 

Wheeler- PG Houston Christian

Murphy/Hellums at Concordia

Cryer/Lampkin at Morton Ranch

Redus twins at Eisenhower

Mark PG at Dickinson 

Go with the old school chain-style nets like at the park.  They’ll hold up well and sound nice too.

So, its not likely to be decided until next week. Dang. I was hoping there was a strong chance that WB would go D2.

Looks like it’ll come down to next week unless somehow Channelview already has all the tiebreakers with DP, United and LaPorte.

Channelview will end up 3-4 when they lose to North Shore next week.  The winner of Deer Park/United will also finish 3-4.  Not sure how the tiebreaker will work that out.  LaPorte could also end of 3-4 by beating CEK.

Has the YMBL tournaments been cancelled for this year?

I think it is canceled.  I know West Brook isn't playing it.

I guess he wants to play for a winner!

Thats what i hear.   Would like to see this one but not sure about going all the way to Dallas on that day.   Not sure if we will make this game exciting or not,  i have plenty of faith in my Tigers and we have fought with some of the big guys before.  I wouldnt be as concerned i guess if it was just Maxey but they arent ranked #2 in 6A just from one player.i see they also have a 6’10 inside which will be tough on us.  Will be a fun one and a good test for my Tigers.

They also have a guard committed to Texas A&M. 

How is the new kid at Orangefield looking?

I get your argument Mamba, but I think essentially having almost free agency in high school sports opens up a world of potential problems.

UIL math.  All boys school and like Dallas Jesuit, their number gets doubled due to no attendance zones

But if you figure half of West Brook is girls, then WB has 1200-1300 boys, pretty close to Jesuit.
