  1. maybe a better incentive for local players - not sure what all the ncaa rules are now - but student has opportunity to stay at home vs if moving off has room and board cost - but if way to waive certain cost for local athletes to make staying home more appealing - i would rather have a small tax increase for all areas in triangle to offset cost and keep all athletes, band, academic students in our area
  2. stock up on local talent instead of letting them get away stock up on shooters - when you can score anything can happen run and gun fan interaction community interaction summer camps for local kids not sure what all will truly produce attendants with wins but gotta start somewhere
  3. yea they fouling lamar and they couldn’t make a free thrown someone won 25k with half court shot at half time
  4. i remember he coached at vincent middle school? i think that was it. i played against him there when they had fund raiser and. had staff vs K106 Mark landis and the nutt hut - i was with K106 and we went to different schools to help raise money
  5. alvin brooks was on team too - he was so quick Oliver amazing shot but his def needed help - i think he’s in prison in carolina area - so sad davis/perkins big men all the time blends together now and i can’t remember as much as i like too but had the experience to get to play with/against those guys - great games abd they let you know how good you ain’t with their talent - lol great players and teams Anthony todd came in and left. talent from area started going else where. beat phi slamma jamma in first round nit just one yr after they was in finals but lost to gerald wilkins (dominique brother) chattanooga next round same yr had joe dumas at mcneese and karl malone at la tech in conference la tech ranked 4 in nation and victory at home against them wish we could get local talent to stay and bring lamar back
  6. bb davis in lamar glory days lost second round to tourney champs magic and msu next yr lost in sweet 16 and if they had 3 pter with oliver who knows what coukd have happen 78, 79, 80, 81 some good lamar yrs
  7. well if he can have the right leadership around him - and put in work ethic - you 100% can be competitive - i absolutely love when a young man dedicated himself and creates opportunity from hard work i stressed to my son constantly 1) develop your body: work out grow muscles - run increase your endurance 2) institutionalize fundamentals of the game: practice until fundamentals are like breathing - you just do the simple things in game instinctively 3) develop mind: study film and the game - understand ppl are creatures of habit learn those tendencies - educate self in class room - and be a persons of humility/respect/teamwork/integrity/compliance/value creation 4) talent - all you can do here is master first 3 because you have 100% control there and use all that GOD birth you
  8. is the Gardenhire kid - i think 24 is he a senior - he’s a good ball player on Vidor
  9. 10 lumberton is Harmon Elliot only jr, harris, miller only soph
  10. and landry kid for LCM didn’t play basketball this yr either
  11. OF did have 2 good guards Lum a good guard, Vidor a good guard, WOS had a good guard Silsbee and LCM kids good but it like they were forwards - not sure if you list Elliott as guard or not but some good kids out top
  12. your right no scholarships, no parade, no nothing. But it just about respect from the coaches from your district. its about recognition for hard work put in. again like you said, if you dont get the respect or recognition - it impacts nothing moving forward. not one kid from this district will be playing at the 3rd level - but all of us remember when we once was good - it just a respect thing - coach (suppose to be leaders) should make right choices - when you old and grey sharing stories with grand kids yes you are right about Vidor too, some great athletes have come from vidor and got little to no respect. i know i played rugby with guy out of vidor- bo brown - i believe i am much older than him so not sure what recognition he got - i was 35 and i think he was in 20's when we played rugby. hell of an athelete
  13. wrinkle - of miller - sil one of the wos kids - im not sure his name last two i would love to see stats - but its secret - anything secret creates doubt - so i cant fill last two spots
  14. MVP: Harris (no co stuff - make a decision - and at 18.4 pts/gm for entire yr - can still be debated) Off. MVP: Elliott (27 pts/gm avg) Def MVP: no good stats to look over to make fair decision but no way Bottely - 1 bk for entire yr/ 15 def rebounds for entire yr - best stat 50 steals for year Newcomer: i'll take Winn - good leader and ball player Coach: again pick one: Sigler undefeated unchallenged district champs with all underclassmen
  15. i agree on 5 and 5 makes it a little more prestigious to earn yes playoff should not even be in process - it has nothing to do with district play
  16. how many first team do you thing should be? are coaches only ppl that pick team? if so how can they pick prior to playoffs ending? and what is criteria if any?
  17. does it matter when it’s posted? integrity is issue this is a joke on several picks. Elliot avg 27 pts/gm and not offensive player 3 kids on first team - easy should be second team 2 kids on second team should be 1st team 2 kids on second team should not be integrity! we challenge political leaders on poor decisions on critical issues - challenge their integrity and who ever picks simple district recognition that means nothing - don’t use integrity and make right nominations from high school coaches up to potus - rotten to a core with lack of integrity
  18. i mean reality - teach team how to beat press - 19 turnovers off press is difference in game rebounds 29-28 L fg% 40-39 L 3pt% 43-23 L ft% 47-59 S steals 3-19 S
  19. why forfeit just play the game against better opponent and see what you need to improve on. and they had a handful of plays including dunk over a silsbee kid that was positive
  20. well even with 35 second shot clock sounds like the time Lumberton took off clock was around 3 minutes with shot clock - they can hold ball 35 seconds every trip down and actually eat up more time over period of a game just 10 opportunities is 5 min 50 sec so can still slow tempo with actually running a “stall” est clock up style of play
  21. 86-61 Lumberton win BC played scrappy and pressed but just fell back. Dunk 1-0 #10 drive down middle of zone and dunked
