    This is the hidden content, please

    J’Covan Brown, the basketball guard who did not qualify academically to play for the Longhorns in 2008-09, has moved closer to attaining the requirements he needs to join the team next season, according to his father, Johnny Ray Brown, and sources close to the team.

    Brown has met his academic requirements and awaits approval by the NCAA Clearinghouse, Johnny Ray Brown said. Brown hopes to enroll at Texas for summer school in June along with players from coach Rick Barnes’ highly-regarded freshman class.

    The 6-foot-2 Brown is capable of playing point guard and off the ball.

    Now if we could only get a reliable source......

  2. Very good game for the Goose. Price Jacobs goes the distance giving up 4 hits and 1 earned run. GCM lead 1-0 after the first inning. BH took a 2-1 lead in the 5th only to see GCM put up a 5 spot in the 6th sending 9 batters to the plate. Jacobs would retire the 9-1-2 hitters in the 7th to earn the complete game win. 

    GCM goes to 2-2 in 19-4A, BH falls to 3-1.

    Butts kicked they tok the young team lightly and it cost them

    Hmmmm....sure you don't wanna give GCM some -- even a little -- credit for simply outplaying BH?

    that is a compliment they did what they needed to do they got it done

    Sorry, I assumed "taking someone lightly" meant the same thing it has always everywhere meant in any conversation I've ever heard it to mean: a superior team underestimated a weaker team. If you didn't mean that, it would be the first time in my life it didn't n\mean that. Poor assumption on my part.

  4. This board is turning into TexasHoops. There are a few people, including Mods that are ruining this forum. HJ is the best in the world, Silsbee is the best in the world, nobody likes DickV.....WE GET IT! Can we at least have some decent basketball conversation? Seriously, it's getting lame with all the know it alls and crybabies. Thank you , that is all.

    the replies to your post prove you're right.

  5. Did not think the #2 big man was that impressive.  He never looked for his shot despite a huge mismatch.  The other kid played well and took the big kid for CH out of his game early.

    Agree, DeSoto's #2 big was not impressive. Never said so. Said that that by playing both bigs at same time gave Desoto the desired matchup. Great coaching move. Also, CH's big kid is NOT their best player. The best player (Glover) got game planned out of the touches by his own coach.

  6. The game was horrible, was one of the most boring games of the tourney.  The kid from Desoto was one of the best in the tourney on and individual level.  He took over the game.

    The kid took over cuz DeSoto subbed in their #2 big with #1 big at same time and the new matchup took CH's best defender (Glover) off him. Then he went wild. Outcoached. Plus CH's Glover is a STUD. But not enough touches ON PURPOSE. Bad coaching decision.

    Best coach won.

    Defensive contests in pretty much all sports are boring.

  7. The team to watch next year is going to be the EAGLES from Barbers Hill. They will have the whole package from the outside to down under. I can't wait till next year and see this group WOW!!! site. Lets see if SETXSPORTS gives them their due.

    ? do not know if they are returning

    who will they finish ahead of next year that they finished behind this yr? why?

  8. I know I am!

    me too!  they can say they don't recruit, but i am not convinced.  just does not seem right to me for them to be able to pull athletes from anywhere in the world and compete against teams that must play kids who live in the area.  or am i missing something here?

    nope. You're missing nothing. THAT is the problem with privates in UIL.

  9. Let me make it simple for you Strake cool-aid drinkers. Here's a list of localities in greater Houston:

    Pearland.....heck include Galveston, too

    ALL of Houston city limits, Clear Lake to Kingwood, Nearly Katy to Channelview

    Humble

    Woodlands

    and all places in between

    Kid lives with both parents at ANY single home in ANY one of these areas.

    My 2 questions for you kool-aid drinkers:

    1) Can he attend Strake and play varsity sport?

    2) Name the public schools who can do that?

    Case dismissed.

  10. I'm so sick of this. Like I have said before all this is about is the fact that Strake is winning. If they were losing people would be glad they were in UIL. The fact is the UIL allowed Strake to be in plain and simple, it's not like Strake bought their way in.

    So let me get this straight...Strake only has a good program because they recruit? It has nothing to do with the fact that they have an excellent coach? It has nothing to do with the fact that they play great defense? It has nothing to do with the fact that their players work extremely hard? Give me a break. I don't see anyone complaining about Oak Hill Academy poaching Houston talent like Keith Gallon. Recruit on an international basis? Yeah let me tell you they send the Brothers and Nuns to Bosnia and Croatia looking for the next Darko Milicic.

    Strake Jesuit is one of the best places for a Student/Athlete. Let's see where there best three players are going: Rice University (17th best in the nation), University of Notre Dame (18th best in the nation), Penn State (47th best in the nation). Hmmm yeah let me see there going there just for the basketball. Strake has provided them with a great education and they are going to places where they can continue their education.

    Also there is an entrance exam to get into Strake, so yeah they arent just pulling in people left and right to come to their school. Quit complaining about Strake, why not celebrate them and the fact that they still emphasize the STUDENT part in Student/Athlete.

    Wow. where to begin to correct the errors here? OK how about here: Strake filed a lawsuit to get into UIL. Your other "facts" have equal accuracy.

  11. strake doesn't recruit? HA!

    why not just say you don't get caught and others do the same and you do it just to keep up. And pleeeeeeeze don't gimme that "private company gives scholarships on a blind basis without regard to athletic ability" garbage. Its widely known. Yes, others do it. But Strake DOES do it.

    And why would a competing coach say so in print. Would come off as sour grapes. Politically correct speech rules.

  12. What's going on with Barbers Hill Baseball. There are some good athletes there so why are they doing so bad. I thought they would hit the ball better than they have been doing. I know pitching has dropped off but they should be more competitive than their record shows.

    The talent and all the tools are there. It's the mental part of the game that's kicking out butt right now. No emotion, no confidence, and just a bad approach to the game overall. Swinging for the fences, throwing batting practice fastballs with a pitchers count (0-2 and 1-2), making excuses for everything that doesn't go our way, focusing on nothing but the negatives, just to name a few. All easy fixes and correctable with the right positive mental attitude!!!!!!

    I have no idea if the diagnosis (mental/attitude/no emotion/no confidence) is correct, but if it is, this is a HUGE problem and NOT easily fixed. Such problems are a growing cancer 95% of the time it occurs. Reason: Such things do not crop up in a vaccuum. Something or, more likely, someone(s) triggered this. It's usually irrevesible. How many times have you looked back and said,"Wow, if so-and-so could've simply lived up to his potential" ?  That's probably the most common refrain heard in ALL sports, ALL the time. Time will tell if this plays out like 95% or the other 5%.

  13. Situation:Normal 2-parent family, everybody lives in same household. The son, a 2-sport varsity athlete,  is currently a 5A 11th grader who has continuously attended the same 5A Region 2 high school since beginning of 9th grade. Family has continuously resided in that 5A, Region 2 high school's attendance zone since beginning of 9th grade. He's been playing both football and baseball on varsity since 9th grade. Yes, a good athlete! Family is now moving 25 miles away to new high school enrollment zone (4A, Region 3 high school). On April 1,2009, old home will sell and they will move out. Same day they will buy and move into new home inside the 4A, Region 3 high school's enrollment zone. Desire is to commute to and attend old school for remainder of this year and finish varsity baseball season at old school. Then, next August, as a 12th grader, begin attending and playing varsity sports at new school.

    1. Can he finish current varsity season at old school while living in new home?

    2. Will he be eligible to play varsity football next fall at new school (his senior year)?

    3. Must any signatures from any high schools be obtained to get "yes" answers to either #1 or #2?

    4. Who's signature's? Old school? New school? Competing district teams at old or new school or both?

    5. Where can I find UIL rules that address this?

  14. so which one will Hj be facing in the semi's?

    Class 3A

    Reg 1: No. 2 Lubbock Estacado Matadors (33-2)

    Reg 2: No. 1 Dallas Madison Trojans (30-3)

    Reg 3: No. 11 Hardin-Jefferson (37-6)

    Reg 4: No. 5 Stafford Spartans (30-5)

    #1 seed is Estacado

    #2 seed is Madison

    So these two will not play each other in semis

    #3 and #4 determined by coin flip soon (Sunday?)
