Rebel Yeller

While there are still a number of teams in the playoffs the nomination forms for players that coaches want to have their seniors participate in the games need to get those names in ASAP. It is our hope to be able to begin Saturday night making calls to players to check on their willingness to participate. We need girls and guys nominations. If you know you high school coach please ask them if they have taken the time to send their names in. WE WILL NOT CONTACT PLAYERS FROM ANY TEAM THAT IS STILL IN THE PLAYOFFS. IF WE HAVE PLAYERS THAT FIT THAT THEN WE WILL WAIT UNTIL TUESDAYS GAMES AND ONLY EXTEND INVITES TO PLAYERS WHOSE TEAMS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED. Please help us honor these players. Thanks to Hardin, Leggett and Orangefield for nominations.

Good win for the Rebels Now they get a playoff before the playoffs. The third game against Big Sandy should be a great game. The teams are co champions of the district and this game decides who gets the bye and who plays in the bi-district game. Should be an instant classic with so musch riding on the outcome.

[/quote] We will basiclly have someone on the bench who will help manage minutes to be sure that all the players get time on the floor somewhat equally. These players have been up against the same players since they were in the 7th grade and some even from Little Dribbler days. It is just exciting to watch them compete with and agaisnt these players one last time.

While we hope that both our teams and several others are still playing that weekend, the show will go on. I don't have one playing this year and I have a few sideline buddies that can fill in for me with my newspaper duties. So send in those forms and we are going to have some All Star games. Didn't mean to leave out the girls, but I assume the same could be said if the Evadale girls are playing for a state championship that day. [/quote]

The SETX All Star Basketball Classic games will be on Saturday, March 3rd at the Evadale Gym. We are following the NFL formula as players still playing for a championship will miss these games but we have plenty of talent that will be available from teams whose season will have ended. Nomination forms went out to area schools this week and while teams that are still in the playoffs will not be sending names in the coaches whose seasons have ended will begin send their names in ASAP. Once a team is eliminated from the playoffs I hope that their coaches will remember the ALl Star games and send in names to us. We hope that there are still several teams in the boys regional round and girls at state that day, but with our festival moving up to its new date we still wanted to highlight some outstanding senior athletes with this all star opportunity. If you need additional information please send me a personal message.

Did not get a chance to be at last nights game, but I was at the WH game and BS. I would much rather watch games like those two than one that is a 50 point spread. The stuff about the ball or the refs or whatever do not get recorded in the standings. I have people that I know at most of the schools in Evadale's district they love and support their school just like we do the Rebels. We have had a great run for the last 4 or 5 years and it has been exciting to win district titles, area titles, even a couple of regional titles. I wish everyone could experience going to Austin for the State Tournament in something. Why don't we all just go to the games and cheer for our side. Aplaud great plays or effort from our opponents. Put on some stripes and call a game before we get too worked up about calls. Just all around enjoy the games and the players. We will have these same arguements with every sport, every season, every year. Life would be so much better if we could just let it stay a game.

I understand and would add that we hope that Evadale will not have any players in the game due to the playoffs, but by the process of elimination at a maximum only one girls team from each classification and 2 boys teams from each classification will still be in the playoffs. I for one hope we have six girls teams and 12 boys teams still left from this area. But we want to have some great games even if we have to do them without some of the talents that will be in the playoffs.

This year the Evadale Catfish Festival will once again host the SETX All Star Basketball games However, there is one change as this years festival is March 1-4 so the games will be played on Saturday March 3rd. Now we all know that weekend is the weekend of the girls state tournament and the boys regional tournament, but it will be more like the NFL Pro Bowl. The players that are still involved and playing will just keep in trying to bring a state championship home, but players whose seasons have ended will get one last chance to play. We will try to have four games 3A-5A Girls  1 PM 3A-5a Boys 2:30 PM 1A-2A + Private Schools Girls 4 PM 1A-2A + Private School Boys 5:30 PM Coaches will recieve nomination forms once the regular season is done. For those who do not make the playoffs they can respond right away, and for those in the playoffs they can respond once their team has finished the season. If they continue on (and we wish them well to do so) then they will just not send any nominees in for the games. Tickets for one or all four games will be $5 with the proceeds going to the Gilbert & Betty Richardson Memorial Scholarship Fund that has presented over $10,000 in the past 5 years to graduates of Evadale High School. The players will be wearing their school uniforms so it will be a great opportunity to see those senior players that have been so important to their teams putting on the uniform one last time. If you would like any additional information about these game please send me a personal message and I will respond.

The Rebels are on a roll right now and Coach Williams will not let them forget they have a game to play after defeating Big Sandy on Tuesday. The Rebels want to secure the first half lead and get a step closer to punching their return ticket to the playoffs. Evadale 68 West Hardin  51

I was the guy taking pictures on the Evadale end of the court in the 1st quarter. I can say that from floor level with the action coming towards me and I have some pictures to prove this. The two quick fouls on the BS post players were for contact to the body. His replacement took a charge late in the period, but the young man that sat down with two fouls definately commited those two. Calls are missed all the time! I still hate to go to a game that is only worked by two ref's, but even with three refs calls are missed, but the two fouls early the ref was to my left looking into the paint and he made the calls as the BS post jumped into the Evadale shooter. There is a very different perspective from the stands. I have been shooting sports pictures for the Buna Beacon and Silsbee Bee for over 6 and 3 years respectively. The calls looking at the game from the baseline are different and if you saw them you might be less inclined to think that they were bad calls. Again I am not saying that there were not calls missed on both sides, but those two were not missed. 

[quote name="Copenhagen_swagg#7" post="1165116" timestamp="1327433176"] BS will beat evadale dont let that poor game sp had against them make the seem like all_mighty now BS is a way better team evadale offense is murphy run baseline and give him the ball.. #24 from BS is good on the board [/quote] Oh ye of little faith! Guess that poor game had some lingering effects?

The Rebels still have something to prove as they did tonight! Last year the Rebels used their difficult non-district schedule and a district championship to be a springboard to the final four in 1A Division 1. This could be setting up for a repaet of the same kind of success that the team  had last year.  The rankings should change next week in SETX and the state polls as Big Sandy was ranked 13th in the latest poll. The Rebels have their hold on district as the 1st half leaders with a 4-0 record and they will try to one up last years team as they try to not only win the district once again, but to go undefeated in doing it. Great job Rebels!
