team first

He actually listened to Knowles. Now thats a good one LMAO

Shyane,,Come on now,,,I was at the game the 1st time these teams met..When Ned. took their 2ND team out they were up 38 pts..Ended up 25..80% of the time..Maybe 50%..Only maybe..those BISD administrators or coaches or whatever it was at Ozen that were officiating were uh..maybe not the best around!!!...ozen lucky to win 2 of the 4 games.

Aggie proud, Aggies had a shot, but didnt get it done. Program is still climbing, even after Billy G. departed. Good recruiting class coming in. Staff is also doing an excellent job, especially on the def. end of the floor. Great fan base to win, great facility, and getting more respect each year. Plenty of things to be fired up about. Kids graduating, playing with class and competeing night in and night out. Have to find a consistent 3pt threat, all you need is one! Future is bright. Gig Em.

No offense taken hj2012....H.J. losing? Not going to happen..shoot..Not the Hawks. Buttt it just did happen.....my goodness..you mean those lowly MUSTANGS! Humility goes along way buddy..remember the ole sayin, " anybody ( even the hawkies ) can be beaten, on any given night." Stamp it chief!

Actually Labradford Smith graduated from Bay city in 1987...Not bad.Dropped 39 on M. Jordan one night in the league. The next time they met, Jordan had 35 at the half, and went on to blow em out. L. Smith could fly, but had a short stint in the league with Washington.

I think the kids name is Killan not sure about his first name..Kid is about 6'6 and is getting better. the thing is, he has been sitting until this year. One year makes a huge difference for the kids who work.

Love to see a preview..good basketball while teams are at their best. Montagne or even Lamar p.a. would be good, but assuming Bmt. would be a better fit. P.A. Memorial vs Yates would be a good one to watch.

These officials did a good job. I also think they tried to contol alot of the game, where really was not a concern. The taso group here does a good job for the most part, but there are only so many good officials out there.I will say this, they will be at the games and they will be on time, and thats a positive. Cant say that for the other group

Genetics,,sure thats anywhere. The H. F. lit. Dribblers program ha been good for years..Problem? Kids have to keep working and progressing. Not sure how the H.S. program is set up..Ex. Bsketball kids with their coach when they should be, or all-sports and kids together in off-season? hard to get any better in any other place except the gym..3a Universal off-season is my bet. tough to win.

i wouldnt forget about deron, i have a feeling he will be rt there for a spot

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="753842" timestamp="1265131990"] [font=Courier]North Shore's Jacoby Harrison 6'6 pf 2011 (committed to Hartford) is playing tonight. He actually played last Friday against Baytown Lee.[/font] [/quote] i assume u already knew that, when u picked mem to win by 6. Or does this change ur decision

Consistently what...getting techs....Franks is quicker , has more range and better handles..he also plays harder than Jacovan did...Jacovan has better D1 build, stronger, but both can see the floor very well..Both made H.S. basketball look easy..Consistent scoring??? You just dont go out and score 48, shooting like that every night...The kid was in a zone, big time,,, but I have seen him score in bunches over the years!

Best guard to come through Ozen in my opinion..Saw him check in the state championship game when he was a freshmen, to get the ball up the court. In front of 15,000 plus he never looked like he was nervous, did not know any better. The kid is a D1 talent no doubt, if he gets it together. If Jacovan can, this kid can!

Doty is very good..but that is hard to duplicate, at any level.

Where are the officials.The athletic director called sub varsity games.Why cant Ozen ever get offcials and ever start on time? This is amazing to me , does anyone hav an answer..Sometimes when I go to watch, there are coaches calling games...Where is the organization, please tell me. This is very annoying!

They are trying to do it in style, trying to score 100...AAU style...If they were doing it with class...they get to 96 and hold it..shake hands and be respected for it....Most likely then everyone else wants you to coninue to have big time success!

Blue, come on buddy..Big difference in public school basketball and the AAU world...One huge difference is that the public school coaches and system have been educated about sportmanship and class...This guy could never lose and not have my respect..It's about one thing only for him.." LOOK AT ME" and my scores..But some are right on here, they only know how to play one way, and that is WITHOUT CLASS!! all goes back to the leadership doesnt it?...This is the AAU mentality that we hear about all of the time. This last episode says it all...

It's about exposure on a national level. National ranking (not State, local, regional, etc). It's about Nike pushing some buttons in the future for some people. [/quote] blue it is obvious something u will never understand, if they really where fouling to try and reach 100? wow.

Dont know what he is saying  soldier...but I am ...arrested???? A scuffle maybe in a rivalry..This was way over the line  ..and I second what was said about BISD proud>>>>

i heard Franks is already missing in action again. I believe he has only played in one district game so far (@ned)

Bmtsouj....Really very little argument against that team..Who was the best team? Each class? What year? Biggest upset? Biggest dissapointment? Biggest flop, player and team? Best program, coach and future? Just something to ponder, the decade team is very close to what I would have

What up ..short..still not getting it , huh..Gamble ..class, winner, great teams, character, all adjectives about him and his teams..yes, they could have won and depleted teams. David Greens teams maybe could have too...But they did'nt. Why? simple. Got even more respect when they showed respect to the opposition. It's called sportsmanship. One coach realizing that his team is way more skilled and talented than the other. Then amazingly, calling off the dogs to only win by 30 or 35. Why, because the other team is full of kids.. Yep, 15, 16 and 17 year old kids. Great life lesson. we are here to win, not humiliate or be braggish or straight up classless. We want our school, because that is who we are representing when we compete, to be known as a student body who recognizes that, we may be better in basketball, but it is afterall....a game. Does not mean we would be better in anything else in life...Maybe, but maybe not..its a great thread!!!

Ned Fab five:  1. Francis Torres 2009 2. Brian Hefner  late 80s 3. Jamie Weaver early 80s 4. Corey Loupe 2000ish 5. Dionte Forney PRESENT THIS GROUP COULD SCORE IN BUNCHES...

A little confused here..Nic Wise ended up playing for Kingwood, but I'm wrong..Clarify please..I like to be right sometimes..If the dad could have coached both kids to state championships, why didnt he?  If he is that good , I just dont understand. Also, the point about sending him to the best program. They won back to back, with some of the best players and a dang good coach..Kingwood was class, I understand they could not have beat people by 100, but they were the best team in the state and did it right..Wish some could have picked up on that!!! I will tell you what makes sense to some, have their kid play at a high profile and win championships...Nic Wise!!!

Come on Short...Barely DI, wow, most teams wish they had a juco player here or there, this team has many college prospects. Sure this coach has contributed, maybe even can coach a little. But all of these kids did not attend the feeder schools of Yates. Just did not happen. he kind of does it the same way his kid ended at Kingwood..Moved  couple of times to get the right fit.Where is the best chance my kid or these other kids have a chance to get together and win a championship??? Really no big deal, the UIL allows it, and its really the UIL at fault..Just saying a crop of AAU talent makes a coach look preety good huh...Do you agree with that?
