David Martinez has been to state twice, think he knows what will and what won’t work in the playoffs. 

Great Coaching , and always a Super talented team but always seems as something is missing. Kinda hard to put into words but  Imo seems like they’re always  missing identity. Seems like  instead of having and forcing a style of play on their opponents they never  have a style to force on their opponents.  Instead Seems like their  focus when they face elite competition is always to adjust to the other teams game plan.  
 

As far as last nite vs Clear springs .. when crunch time came Atascocita didn’t play to win , they played not to lose

Harris actually looked like he had grown maybe half an inch the last game. The 6`5 kid off the bench won't get minutes in a tight game. He ain't ready. Needs to work on his hands and get a little quicker. He's only a freshman, so there will be plenty of time to improve. Dean, who's 6`4, might see playing time.

If Silsbee can beat Westbrook, who has the size of a college team, they can take Washington if they're on their game.

Only other time Silsbee has played Washington that I'm aware of was Bush's last year. They got a better communications program that's getting them kids you'd normally see on Yates roster or something?

I agree. I watched btw  and yates yesterday. Yates is pretty much the team silsbee was last year as far as depth ,youth and potential. They plated btw hard and well from start to finish, and could’ve  pulled it out.
 

BTW is tall , plays tough on both ends. They press on and off throughout the game , and drive hard to the basket . They also use  their length well underneath… their weakness is Proby silsbee’s strength .. depth !!!! There’s a major drop between btw’s starter’s and their bench

Booker T would probably beat United

Nah bruh … btw wouldn’t have enough..btw has a really good starting lineup ..but their bench play is a huge  drop off ..bBU’s depth would be too much…based on what I have seen .. BU is 15 points better

Washington has a magnet engineering program. There school was recently rebuilt.  All that is in their favor.  Yates was recently rebuilt.  They have their commonications dept.  Those other schools?  I've never seen Furr up close.  All these years and I don't know that area at all.  I just know it exists.  Worthing, Kashmere?  Most of the good students and athletes probably left.  Both schools have produced great students and athletes in the past.  And that is where they stay, in the past.  I know some professionals that came from Kashmere: teachers, preachers, petroleum engineers, computer scientists, etc.  I am seeing faces that I know.  Mickey Leland?  That is a new school.  I don't know where it is.  What does this have to do with this topic?  Everything.  The schools with something going for them may have a vibrant athletic program.  The schools that are struggling are just marking time athletically.

Furr is like 5 minutes west of  North Shore, and 5 minutes east of Wheatley. 5 minutes south of kashmere. It’s  pretty much in between north shore and Wheatley. It’s near the Budweiser plant right at the interchange of 610, HWY 90 & I 10.Their athletes PRIMARILY  come from the Clinton park , federal road , and pleasantville areas. That school was recently rebuilt. 

Mickey Leland  high school has been around for some years but without a team. They remodeled and shut HP Carter high school down and moved it there. That school is in 5th ward and very close to Wheatley. It’s One exit before downtown ..Greg street exit ..it’s on Greg st and Lyons Avenue.  
 

Y’all have to remember as far as enrollment HISD is a shrinking district , all of their schools with the exception of west side and Chavez were very old buildings in bad shape .. most of all the schools had to be rebuilt. So almost all of the schools were rebuilt recently

Not a slam on any school in particular and doesn’t apply to every school.  But is an observation made by several basketball guys I know.   Houston kids are often more skilled but also softer than the DFW schools.  Houston plays more suburban basketball (with certain exceptions like Yates) while Dallas basketball has more of an inner city feel.  It is what it is or maybe it’s a perception that I and others are wrong about.  
 

As far as it working in football, are you trying to claim that Houston has more success in football championships than DFW?  Because that isn’t perception - that’s just patently false.  Katy has an amazing program and North Shore has been really good of late.  But as a whole, the Metroplex has held over us for years.  
 

But for the record, football or basketball, I will always root for H-town over that place up north.  

I can see where you are coming from ...That Atascocita vs desoto state title game left a bad taste in peoples mouths..Atascocita was out toughed  but most teams are gonna mirror their coaches... some of the elite team u won’t know wether  they are intimidated or not because the coaches don’t allow them to be mouthy on the court... I’ve watched green coach a lot at north shore and  have watched BU on the court maybe 3 or 4 times these last two years have rarely saw his players murmur a word .. same as with the coach at Yates ..

but as far as football the no dfw hasn’t done anything in years in 6a ... they have won 2 out of 12 championships in the last 6 years

I predicted 77-51.  My margin of victory was only off by 1.   What is incredible to me is how focused they have been all year, especially given it is really still a relatively young team.   I don’t think it matter whether it’s Kimball or Amarillo...BU plays like that and they aren’t losing.  
 

And one thing about the Dallas teams when they play Houston teams...I think a lot of times they out-tough them.  That’s a belief that is held by many by the way.  But when they play Beaumont or Port Arthur, that ain’t happening.  

Congratulations BU beat the snot out of north Texas ..this year regardless of classification  they have been the best team in the entire gha and will probably be for the next two years  ... bruh I got mad love for Beaumont .. family has history there in that area  .. one of the old high school’s Charlton- Pollard is named after one of my family members ( charlton).  No insult on you But that out-tough statement sounds really present-minded and  sheepish bruh..don’t forget  ( most of the time it’s SUBURBAN Houston schools that beat the TOUGH Beaumont , inner city Houston , and port Arthur schools to get out of the gha/ reg3.  ..true Dallas gets up to play Houston .. Houston is its older and bigger brother so of course they’re gonna come hard ..but ask ur sources and urself this ...  if the dfw schools are able to out tough the Houston schools  then why doesn’t it work in football ? 

Minute wise Those schools are Proby closer to north shore than Galena park high

All this has been discussed, but Wheatley, like a lot of schools  is a victim of the new way to build basketball programs. Back in the day, in the 60s & 70s, all the homegrown b-ball talent stayed in 5th ward or in Kashmere gardens.  Those areas were locked in by bad roads, slow mass transit, etc. Save the rest for MLK weekend or the month of February.  Now, all kinds of good roads are being built.  Then you got AAU spies & pimps, the internet, twitter, What's app, mass transit trains and buses to take a ball player anywhere in Houston.  All the genes have moved to Northshore, Cypress, FB Brazoria counties..  You get the picture.  I was talking to a young man not long ago.  He said he played football for Northshore.  I asked if he lived out that way.  He said he has always lived in Kashmere Gardens.   NS is 20 miles away.  They're not the only ones, not by a long shot. So, whatever kind of team Wheatley can put on the court is almost a miracle.

A lot of Wheatley’s talent came from pleasantville .. pleasantville is pretty much the midpoint between north shore and Wheatley.... kashmere , north forest , and Wheatley attendance zones are actually close to north shore ..all of their attendance zones are within 10 minutes from north shore ... kashmere is probably the furthest high school of the 3 and it’s only 10 miles away ... it’s 20 minute tops with a bad day of traffic ... not 20 miles bruh .. 20 miles in Houston is far as crap ... that’s pretty much from one side of the beltway to the other

So if NS has a lot of Hispanic people and GP has a lot of Hispanic people, how do these elite black athletes end up at MS and NON of them end up at GP?  Non for at least the last 15 years. Make this make sense to me is all I ask. 

Gp and north shore are in two totally different areas .. the high schools are 20 minutes / 10 miles apart ... the black athletes don’t live anywhere near GP... NS is in a newer mostly residential area most of the homes there were built in the 70’s and up ... gp is in an old industrial area .. homes were built mostly in the 40,50,and 60’s  ... there are no new subdivisions in gp’s  area...

It’s really strange and funny that the most athletic kids out there have been going north of I-10 for the better part of 15 years.  The NS and GP zoning areas are not that far from each other.  

It’s obvious u don’t know the area or about gpisd... all of the athletes live within walking distance of north shore high school , Cunningham and nsms... all three of those schools are walking distance from each other .. although the school has turned predominantly Hispanic north shore is still around 25-30 percent black .. with 4K plus students .. there’s hardly any blacks on the galena park side ... nsms is around 20 percent black and Cunningham is around 50 percent black ... the schools that are zoned gp don’t have hardly any blacks ...most of the blacks that live near gp high are zoned to hisd ... galena park middle and woodland acres middle are nowhere near north shore high , therefor it’s now way those zones can be stretched like that 

they’re pityful.. most of the athletic kids in the district come from the north side of I10.

Open enrollment with only 2 high schools in the district. There’s no benefit to that..

If they only used the kids that were zoned to North Shore, they would look a lot like Galena Park.

That’s false bruh ... the two middle schools that feed into north shore high school are off the charts. Cunningham and north shore middle schools go pretty much undefeated until they play each other every year . Cunningham is the premier middle school in the Houston area.. with north shore middle school is Proby the 2nd. They do get exceptional move ins but 95 percent of those kids come from cms and nsms.

Decent??

The word Decent varies ...in some demographics it can be used as almost the opposite of what it means. It’s like saying he has nasty skills , he’s stiff , or his game is sweet. It’s mostly a low key smooth way of saying awesome... 

lol .. but anyways congratulations and great for him. Much respect for that kid. Each time and Each game  I watched him win, or lose  .. pound for pound he was the best player on the floor .Team had huge turnover including 2d1’s and they pretty much repeated the same success as they did the year before. His game Reminds me a lot of tOmmy mason griffin just a lot smaller and shorter. Had he been 5’10 or taller would’ easily be a high  1 prospect.

Been around it for awhile.  Like I said, none of those Yates teams could have challenged this year’s MV team.  How many of those Yates teams had multiple lottery picks on the team?  I’ll answer for you - none.  Like I said, different day and age.  Yates will and other Houston teams will have some “juggernauts” in the future but not on the level of this MV team.  Just stay in your lane and you’ll be fine.  

My point is teams with a great mix of chemistry And talent have beaten teams with multiple picks before .. And what gives your opinions all of the value again ?

🤦🏻‍♂️😂🤣

I doubt there was a team in the history of Houston basketball that could have stayed on the floor with that team.  Sorry.  You are reaching now.  Obviously H-town has struggled to compete with DFW.  Thus the recruitment and formation of this year’s Yates team (Which I get - if you can’t beat em, join em).  The team that got run out of the gym by a MV team that was toying with them.  
 

And FYI, that was a “special local team.”  Not saying a “special” Houston can’t compete with some of the National teams, but definitely not a team like this MV team (which if you read the article, is being debated as maybe the best HS team ever).   
 

Gone are the days when a Yates team or any Houston team can compete with the national juggernaut teams.  You just don’t have the talent base or wherewithal to compete. 

That’s false .. this years yates team was good state wise but maybe top 100 nationally at best   , yates has had five teams better than this years team. Has had four  nationally ranked Top 25 teams. You obviously haven’t watched a lot of Houston basketball in the past. I’m talking juggernaut teams that come around every 5-10 years. And before this year The 09 yates team was being talked about as the best ever. These are kids stuff goes in cycles.

Except not THESE HS players.  That’s where you’re missing the point bruh.  
 

Talk to an NBA scout and ask him where Cade would be drafted, if eligible, in next month’s originally scheduled draft.  Guarantee you it would be top 5.  Barnes would be a first rounder.  Both would be expected to play from the jump.   Then ask them how many first rounders will come from the entirety of the SLC.  

This has not been the first team a high school team has been stacked like that. Any given year these teams are beatable by special local teams.
