If Silsbee comes back to Whataburger to defend their title, there's a chance they could meet there.   Here are my thoughts on Silsbee/Bridgeport right now.  Keep in mind that I'm a Bport homer and o

My team is a completely different team from last year. We will compete on every level. Might not win against the big boys but we will compete. We lost last weekend in the Semi finals to a very good te

For a minute there I was really wondering how a abrazo sport player was on this team until I realized I was getting Brazosport mixed up with Bridgeport.....I was also wondering where his 3 housemates

They played good the team was out of sinc today. We saw two games. They lost their first two but won the first bracket game. I can see why everyone has strong opinions of Aau. Brady and others were trying to get them to play together more instead of more as individuals. And to play better on defense. They definitely don't play at the same pace or intensity as a high school game. Of course I don't know how often they all get to practice together. They were also missing a couple players one of I will name since Brady has Grayland Armold. The plus size of Aau is definitely exposure and time on the court if they make the effort to make that time count. You will definitely get stronger and better inside because very few fouls are called!!?,

Really how often do these teams get to practice together or is it really who can make it there practices and the tourneys are where they all get together.


Practice twice a week. The benefit for the 15s is they practice with and against the circuit 17s. So twice a week they are running against JJ Caldwell, Greg Shead, Kameron McGusty, TJ Atwood, Jeremy Peck, etc. You can't find that kind of competition locally. After that, playing up against 16s doesn't seem that bad ;)

True they are definitely getting good experience. I just hope that some aspects aren't what they seemed today, like how much the officials let go. And, not that I would call it selfishness really but today I saw a lot of going to the hole and trying to finish without making a pass. I know I was told that that wasn't how,the coaches wanted it but it happened more than setting up,any semblance of an offense. One of the main things I liked this year watching Silsbee was how we played as a team nd I saw flashes of that but would love to see more of it.

The better teams are the better passing teams, same as most basketball. The local kids have been playing summers since 6th grade or earlier and the Houston kids are blending in better every day. Very unselfish kids. Which is one of the main reason they are as good as they are. As for the older kids, catch a JJ Caldwell game sometime. He's a 4 point, 17 assists a game kind of PG. Super strong and quick with the ball. He gets to the paint and has a field day dropping dimes.

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
