I don't think it will happen, but LCM is only two years removed from a season like that. Kudos to LCM for scrimmaging PNG. That's how you get better.

Bingo!

No way they only win one or two games with BC and HJ on the schedule. Not to mention the district is Charmin soft besides Lumberton and Vidor. But your prediction leads me to this. Would a 2-8 or 3-7 record cause the Peevey fan boys/brother in laws to question their devotion? What is the expectation and what is "not good enough?"

I heard that in the past no one would go to the Rusk football games. To solve the problem, they started doing Friday night field trips from the local mental institution to the football games and now the atmosphere is wild. Like Mr. Barrier said...buckle up! *heard that from a coworker.

Last year LCM went down to the Reservation and whipped the Indians. Result? The Bears of South Oak Cliff have to share their state title with the Bears of LCM.

Both won state I believe as players so that's a draw. Wilkins has been to a regional tournament as a coach.

None of what you've said is wrong, but would you be surprised if I said Jason Wilkins has gone farther in the playoffs than Clay Davis ever has?

They definitely all try to pull in kids from other schools. I think maybe others are smoother and quieter about it, though. This kid leaving mid season and showing up at the cross town school the next day is just a bad look. Bad on the kid as well. Doesn't seem like a very loyal kid. If I were the WOS coach I wouldn't allow him to play.

So take your best freshmen players and put them on your cross town rivals sidelines unsupervised? Seems like a way to get your best kids snagged. My coworker said the LCM head coach used to pick up the WOS kid and bring him to LCM workouts while the kid was enrolled in WOS still.

West Orange coaches are recruiting LCM ball boys? I bet the UIL isn't too concerned with that.

New bold prediction or maybe not. After hearing Evadale 30 popped HJ and EC this summer, I'm saying Coach Wilkins has the Rebels back in the 2a state tournament mix. I don't know how the last couple of guys there didn't win, but Wilkins will definitely get it done.

My west orange guy says that kid lives in LCM district. He also said lcm coaches have been trying to get him over there for years. Whole thing was strange with him transferring to lcm mid season and then the running back doing the same.

Are you saying that good players transferring to LCM get denied, but at other local schools they'd be cleared to play?

No way thats true. Why would that kid just move back to West Orange after sitting all of last year?

I don't know any of the Buna players from the 60's, but they won like six state titles. I would imagine they had a couple guys better than Kreston Richardson (no disrespect as I've never seen or even heard of him). Rumor has it the days of Buna as a power are over and coaches are desperately trying to get out of there.

Bush/Adams/McCain were three compared to Miller/Harris as a twosome. Not to mention the supporting cast with the first group all played college sports somewhere. Completely better role players and more of them. Lastly, see the hardware.

You don't think the kid from West Brook can start on that team? He's the best player in the district not names Sells...if Sells is even better than him. Great pickup!

How come nobody mentioned the transfers to Kountze? Now I see where the confidence is coming from.

Is this the key to success? Find a Danny Almonte type kid and dominated with age?

Supposedly the Hoopinsider guy has the second highest grossing snowcone truck in Orange County.

Speaking of that...I saw the Super Gold Team is out. Only took three months from the end of basketball season.

I didn't set any goal posts. Thread is best player ever from a school. Didn't say best player ever while in high school. Do what you will with that. I think a an NBA player in any era is probably better than a Southland player. No disrespect to Weisbrod because he was great and probably did way more with much less.

Maybe where you're from, winning a gold medal and NBA titles is common enough to disregard? Maybe Hefner and Jamie Weaver would have dominated juco and southland basketball. We'll never know, but we do know that Weisbrod couldn't play at A&M or Houston because they didn't offer him a scholarship. Everyone has their own opinions and that's what makes this fun. Hell, I once saw someone rank themselves top 10 all time at a school they didn't even go to. You never no what other people think and there's really no wrong answers.

You're probably right. A lot of times teams are considered overrated so much that they become underrated. I think Warren and Anahuac have a shot, but Buna likely outperforms those two.
