[/quote] Oh yes he is Brandi's nephew! [/quote] He can go to....i saw him play against ML KING's 8th undeafeated team last year that had Pearson, Atwood, and Company. McCain was in the 7th grade, but he played on the 8th grade team for the ML King Tournament. He held his own...  Very impressed.  Seemed to have a good attitude as well.

nothing there

if you have athletes, size, quickness, that can hide poor coaching and make a poor coach look good.  and im not saying that central or ozens coaches are poor coaches, i don't know them nor have i seen them play or coach at practice. COACH OF THE YEAR means you took a team that exceeded their expectations.

couldn't agree more hf fan

This is an opinion furum, but some of you people aint got a clue about basketball and the process of all district picks. Just because you watch the game doesn't mean you know the game.

hearsay thats all i ve heard....

FTs and turnovers will kill ya.

Any coaching changes in the 21-3A district?

I believe morgan worthy of OF is a sophmore

[quote name="Big girl" post="1379247" timestamp="1361813982"] My son is a great athlete. Someone asked me why I won' t send him to Yates. (I live about 25 miles away). I told him that I would not send my dog to Yates. He stated that the only thing he cared about was his kid playing for a winning team which I thought was sad. Academics are of the utmost importance in my family. Yates is not known for academic excellence. 8) [/quote] I believe the NBA leads all professional sports with former players going bankrupt......

Tips for silsbee if yates goes up for a dunk.....  Foul hard....really hard to send a message....to the point of knocking them to the floor......  Basketball is a contact sport as well.  Im not saying hurt intentionally, but if you ve played at a high level you know what im talking about.  I highly doubt Yates players even play football, so silsbee should get physical with them. If they hit they re free throws so be it.  Which is a lower percentage than a dunk

what about Ford Park

wasn't at game heard there was a lot of dunks HJ should ve made them pay after several dunks.  Foul hard....really hard to send a message....to the point of knocking them to the floor......  Basketball is a contact sport as well.  Im not saying hurt intentionally, but if you ve played at a high level you know what im talking about. If they hit they re free throws so be it.  Which is a lower percentage than a dunk of those 2nd half field goal percentages how many were actually 10 ft and beyond jump shots?

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1377262" timestamp="1361469061"] That was 1996. [/quote] who was they lost to? cleveland?

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1377255" timestamp="1361468171"] So a winning tradition generates attention all the way over in Africa? [/quote] wouldn't take it that far.....  whether yates is breaking the rules are not....the game is still going to be played so play your hardest and have confidence in your team and coach.

was it 98 that silsbee lost in the first round when they were ranked very high they had chris miller, thadeus holden, lewis arline

i dont' know who recruits or who doesn't but i do know that a winning tradition can recruit in and of itself.

[quote name="bobbymcgee" post="1376929" timestamp="1361409742"] This is suspicious to me that Nelson being let go comes the same time they are interviewing coaches for the Central job. It is like they decided we like this guy and we like this guy so let's hire them both- one for Central and one for Ozen. Also this does not seem like a Saveat move. I would be shocked if Pat Lambert was not the one behind this. She is supt of secondary schools now and has been known to clash with football coaches. [/quote] BINGO also this comes after a meeting that all bisd coaches went to this past monday.....UIL reps were there discussing the rules/guidelines

ned needs to play the game INSIDE OUT and hit freethrows while also hitting the jumpers don't come out trigger happy...establish the inside, get in the bonus

thanks CAT22 for the info. no big deal SOLO. im pulling for whoever represents 21-3a
