I will even say that group last year was still  better at the starting 5 than Yates and maybe even faith family.  But weren’t near as deep another benefit yearly for those big city magnets.

Parents absolutely have a right to do what is best for their kid within the rules.  However, if you truly believe that three parents of three 6'8" kids all happened to get a job in Houston and all decided to live in Yates' attendance zone then you are living in a dream world.  Last year Yates had one 6'8" player (that became eligible mid way through the season) and he wasn't that good and did not play much.  This year they have four 6'8" kids (three of which are seniors).  The system is broken.  The problem is in multiple areas.  Did you know that two years ago Yates' enrollment was 1100?  Now it is around 850.  So, in a school that is in that drastic of a decline in enrollment, they still happen to have that many 6'8" kids there within the UIL rules?  Yates has open enrollment and is a magnet campus, which pretty much makes it accessible to anyone and at the same time Yates has the right to deny student entry because of those same factors if a student does not reside in their zone.  Therefore, they are able to manipulate their enrollment.  In turn, the playing field is not leveled.  How on earth in DISD and HISD does it make sense to have schools that vary in size from 3A all the way to 6A?  Yes...DISD has a 3A school...Madison.  Madison, by the way, has won basketball state championships in 3A, 4A, and 5A (before they renamed the classifications).  The open enrollment and magnet status combined allow schools within large cities a decided and unfair advantage.  The easy solution is to require that multiple high school districts that participate in open enrollment AND magnet programs cannot have schools participating in more than two classifications.  Therefore, they can compete (based on enrollment) in 4A and 5A or 5A and 6A but they cannot have schools in 4A, 5A, and 6A.  This should apply to all multiple high school districts because the open enrollment and magnet programs along with the sheer population of their city give them a decided advantage over districts that have only one high school.

No but there is a Miller. And lots more.

Those LCM middle school cubs were on our MS schedule this year,  and I don’t know the score but I do know our MS 8 th grade went undefeated and I don’t think had any close games.  And if you didnt see it on the other thread they just won the Greater Houston area Championship this weekend going undefeated and beating two teams that were undefeated in the semis and finals.  The Lake Olympia MS team they beat in the final was out of that Missouri City fort bend school district.  They hadn’t lost a game in 2 years of middle school play....well until they met the Tigers!

Good game by your Lions tonight.  Length inside was tough.

Good game Silsbee. Best of luck the rest of the playoffs.

25-21 Tigers

Nothing wrong with it for these AAu type tourneys 3 courts no seating other than folding chairs while they were using all 3.  They have pulled out the stands for the finals but they are only on one side of the court.

Scheduled for 5

Young guns up 46-24 at the half.

Young guns up 46-24 at the half.

35-14 Tigers halfway through the first half.

Tigers up on Teague 13-4 early on.

Tigers win their last game 58-36 and go through group play undefeated.  Next game at 2:30.

Most definitely...and some of them will step right up. I know the comparisons that have been made to the last few years are tough.  But one thing this group has in some of its top players that Devon and Jordyn didnt have as incoming freshmen is the build that they both developed, these guys like the freshman Williams is the body of say a jr or senior. Will be a learning curve and i am sure will take some lumps next year but the future is bright.

The future Tigers won their first game in the Middle School Championship 56-19 over McReynolds.  Two more game in division play.

I understand that and maybe that’s what he was getting out it was just I wasn’t understanding the way he said it that “.  The difference is HJ lost a possession they had earned by being fouled “.

No other HISD school will protest....

2 is different than 1.  They also have zero interest in the game, so it’ll be a pain in the butt keeping them semi-still

Dirty??? No playing fast aggressive defense.  Haven’t seen anything close to dirty.  Best I have seen the Tigers look in a while.

Final Tigers take it 86-52
