Maybe one of them knew how to play real basketballthis wouldn't have been such a nailbiter!

There may be more talent in those games but it doesn't make it anymore real basketball.  Heck rhert may not even be as competetive as the other games.  I remember past conversations about pressing not being a part of the game at the college or pro levels so how then can a Yates game  be more 'real' basketball.

[/quote] Good question.  I bet they thought they were the favorite today.

Maybe but in the game we saw he was kniocking them down.

[/quote] Pure sentimentality. Zero evidence, unless you're suggesting 21-3A choked when it counted. For the record, I don't think they choked. They both merely lost to a better team. Wishing it weren't so doesn't make it so. Please try to separate sentiment from reality. [/quote] They definitely won both games.  And my Tigers shouldn't have been in a position to lose at the end,  but losing at least a 2 point lead on what was a missed call with 10 seconds to play makes it hard to say the better team won. 

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1194629" timestamp="1331264110"] I meant disadvantage to Santee playing center at a 3-A  small school like HJ or Silsbee. His position at the next level will be on the wing. He's getting that experience now. See too many kids play out of position in high school. [/quote] Yes I knew that was what you meant but what I was getting at is the advantage Yates has in the numbers allowing them to put him in that position.  They may have 3A or even 4A numbers in attendance but with open enrollment in Houston.  They are pulling players from numbers higher than even 5A.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1194586" timestamp="1331260950"] IT'S YATES TIME!!!!! OHHHHHH AHHHHHHH 3rd WARD HIGH!!!!! [/quote] OH @#$@!$!@!$!@!!!

An update for you Lamar is about to win.

And threw up a lot of wild shots.

Big Boy isn't going to be dancing today!

Broadcast mentionong La Vega wanting a tough warm up game not simply a team that was going to give them a lead..  No mention of the two games they played last weekend.

Exactly...Yates through open enrollment may only have 3A numbers but they are drawing players from a huge number of students.  It may be legal but its hardly an even playing field.

Lots of just thrown up shots..then 3 on 1 and can't score!! PASS!!

Typical LaVega start from the few games I have seen.

Definitely. If La Vega wins it should be interesting.

Looks like I was wrong. Question is could anyone causr them to play at a  faster pace.

I remembered him from seeing them 2 years ago. He has definitely worked hard.  But playing him outside is a product of numbers. If he es in Silsbee at that height he would be playing inside.

Nice and slow!

I think Estacado takes this one.

Maybe so but after sering them this year both numbers and numbers of skilled players play a part. I dont see any of our area teams with enough numbers or skilled players to be able to play a 6'6 player outside.  Especially starting one 6'7 post and a 6'6 player outside with the skills of Santee.

It is numbers of skilled players....a Yates may have 12 skilled players where area schools are usually luck to get 6 or 7.
