Qasim Boyd, Dickinson, I thought he was worthy to be all state.  Also that guard for Episcopal.

One more on this:  the K State guard, (I forget his name) is from NYC Harlem.  Bush of course is from Silsbee.  NY is a whole other basketball environment.  Their basketball skills is like world class chess compared to the kind of chess I play.  Places like NY, Chicago, So Cal, N Carolina, etc., basketball is on a different level compared to greater SE Texas.  

I played some pick up basketball, I wasn't nothing special for sho.  Once when I was in the coast guard I got into a 3 on 3 game  in a gym  in Jacksonville FL with some navy guys.  The guy I called myself holding was from Chicago.  He went up for a shot and I jumped. to try and block it.  He just hovered in the air and made 2 or 3 in air moves. All the time I could hear him up there laughing.  And he was just a guy that went to the navy.

Kayde  Dotson?

IMO Bush needs to get on to a 4 year school, get a degree, make enough NIL to pay off his mortgage…The rest is gravy.

That dude bigger than Bush and better than Bush. 

He is bigger, but Bush is in good shape, and this is not football. He maybe slightly better than Bush, but not by much.  

Nowell is 5’8” and resembles Brae Bush.

Come on Terrance Arceneaux.  Get you some of that glory.

Cougars!

Quite sure, they dont have to 'recruit much. if any. In those 16 Districts that are in "their"  area the standouts come calling to them more so than not. I bet my house on that.

This is the Ja Morant syndrome. Ja's dad is more like a trainer than father.  A lot of these kids live in a sports bubble.  They eat, sleep and live basketball.  In season ball, off season ball.  If they are good enough they go to the G league, or NIL from this  college or that.   They are mercenaries.

Been plenty of discussion about Faith Family since 2019.

UIL has it's radar up but not much they can do right now. State legislation has their hands somewhat tied.

 

I thought it was funny that the coaches association did that.

Exactly.  FF is a power move by the state legislature.  Similar to the power grid fiasco.

I beg to differ. I only know of one Dan Patrick in Texas politics aka Dan Patrick the Lieutenant Governor of Texas.  Back in 1983 DP boldly predicted UH Phi Slama Jama  would beat NC St, but they didn't.  It wasn't his fault.  Everybody felt the same way. He was a tv sports guy then.

Then he partnered a sports bar, one of the first of its kind.

Then he went to radio and talked sports on 700 KSEV.  He then went from talking sports to talking conservative politics, to being a republican senator.   Now Lieutenant Governor. 

If there is a 2nd Dan Patrick I am not aware of it.

I  stumbled upon the picture that I mentioned on Facebook.  I really have not been following basketball much since Silsbee lost at region III finals.  

I knew that all these charter schools had something to do with school vouchers and the politics surrounding that issue. When  FF first showed up on the scene I knew pro school voucher group had taken it to another level.  I had a feeling that Governor Abbott , and Paxton, and the other guy, (ex radio host) were in on this.  

Dan Patrick, that's his name.

So, just as I suspected FF has some political heavy weights backing them up.  I am not surprised at all.

FFAs coach came over from a big time Dallas high school that has won a lot, and had to forfeit a championship  at one time.  I think it is Kimball.  So the coach and his staff have experience doing what they do, only now it is legal.  

Also, there is a picture on facebook put up by the UIL that shows shows all of the conference championship teams for this year.  Every conference is listed but, 4A is conspicuously absent.  

I realize I am just an arm chair coach, but…I think BTW should have gone straight at FF by pounding it in against their big guy.  It might have worked.  It could have back fired also.  It is a better strategy than starting the game pressing and shooting long balls.  

Get big dude for FF in trouble then work on Toppin.  Too late for all that now though.

Is there a reason why Dallas Lincoln is horrible these days. All the good athletes went elsewhere to play or something?

They’re at FFA and Carter.

Those Att channels like 639 on Xfinity are having trouble staying solvent while carrying the World Series Champs Astros and the Rockets.  So you know showing the UIL championship games will not help them any.

t

I hate being a petty hater, but I was for FF the whole game.

How long can BTW press?

I think Silsbee would have at least one more championship if FF had not showed up out of no where.

It is hard to hit 3s when you are tired.

BTW is fatigued.  FF probably is also, but not as much.

That was a clean block 

Question of the moment: how strong is BTWs bench?
