There’s always one or maybe two good ol boys who hate to see it .. Let me ask you a question HF has been to the playoffs how many times in the last 10 yrs?  HJ never has a down year ..Lumberton coach is solid but the job Rideaux has done can’t be duplicated,. Even Ray Charles could see that but carry on sir ....

Agreed. Coach Rideaux had a lot of doubters at the start of the season and throughout as well. 
 
“Your apology needs to be as loud as your disrespect was.”

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.

Is this topic you mentioned just confined to HISD and DISD. I can see the idea of a "showcase school" being nurtured. However, if that is true, Where is the San Antonio and Austin version of this practice?

I'm not saying it does or doesnt happen. Im merely asking if they do it in other metropolitan areas. 

Nobody want to have their high school career as a screener passer rebounder to one guy on a team. 
 
But hey yall said I was silly when i said HJ was beating Silsbee months ago. Yall quoted me after the HJ loss at Silsbee. Nobody Quoting me now though. I said 9 pts I think so the forum bullies still covered. 

..and many actually share this exact notion, contrary to popular belief.  Just sayin...

Nobody cares about points posters and highlights against vidor, dayton and the like. Get them against Memorial United Etc...Nice post though Joe.

A lot depends on ones definition of athleticism

No dog in this fight but United has six kids more athletic on the basketball court than Hefner.  Lighting must be an issue in Ned's gym.

Funny that you mentioned Weisbrod, because it was the comparison to him is the very thing that piqued my interest in seeing what Heffner could do.  I meam, you don't throw those comparisons around freely like that because Weisbrod was a beast and proved it in big games against even powerhouse competition....

Weisbrod should've went to a bigger school, he was greatly overlooked. Still IMO the best player to come thru there. He was a beast and had that dog in him (no pun intended)

🤯 Me frantically trying to figure out who #16 is on Vidor and why he won’t step his damn game up. Come on, we need you 16!

Hey no argument from me there. 

telling coach to call a TO and take him out is quitting too me 

"Power 5" commit lost first round to friendswood last year...supposed to win games just by him walking on the floor. But hey English on the awesome coaches list too. I dont know the answer to this so just a question. whats the furthest English has been in playoffs because if he cant do it with a TAMU commit and full of seniors................YIKES. 

I just got wind of this as you know you're on my ignore list. As for your question: it will not get answered. I answer questions from ppl i have respect for. Good day. 

This wasn't an upset IMO. BH isn't the BH of last season. Regardless though great win for Png. From what im told from ppl who attend their games they're better this season. 
 
Now if they sneak Ned in the Dog Dome that'll be the upset. 

Anybody who says Pat Abel's teams weren't fundamental or well coached is clueless.  They were almost too disciplined and fundamental whereas Chris Smith lets them play with some freedom.  Two different philosophies, but neither is wrong.  Saying all of that to say this...huge win for the Indians!

BH is down this year. Max (district MVP) scored 40 in a game last year, and they ended this game with 37...
a little quick DUDE...

HJ by at least 10. Maxpreps says HJ played Nederland PA and BH to close games. PA smacked silsbee and nederland would too. HJ will be ranked when they take this one like they should.
