​I am surprised that you think Memorial will challenge Silsbee for local supremacy over the next few years.  I had the impression you thought Silsbee would be head and shoulders above everyone else in the area.

​Curious. Would you be this vocal about this subject had TxHoops had originally stated that PAM or Central or Ozen or West Brook would be "head and shoulders" above everyone in the area instead of Silsbee?

The proper program hasn't been established yet(in my opinion) Lincoln made it look easy, but the Success we had took a lot of hard work, kids honored their commitment to the Team. Not a lot of transfe

How does Memorial not have a consistent showing to regional and state finals in basketball given that they are a combination of Lincoln, TJ, and SFA?   We all know what Lincoln had as far as talent, b

I would also point out Lincoln didn't play in 5A (the current 6A). Memorial is a small fish in a very large pond of talent. Lincoln also had pure shooters. I haven't seen that from PA since the Lincon days. At least not consistently.

​Because P.A. kids would rather dunk than shoot :)

If Lincoln were around today, they would serve the same Beatdowns as usual.  Please don't compare Lincoln to any current Team in the State regardless of Classification. If you don't believe me, check the History Books. Thanks & Drive Thru

​I agree except I do believe Lincoln played Kountze one year at Lincoln and it was a close one....I believe it was in the late 90s

The best athletes play football at mem now days. Call it a football school or whatever you want, but the best athletes or now playing football  instead or basketball at PA

T.  Singleton was  obviously the best football player, but he was also the best basketball player at that school. People may disagree , but all u had to do was watch him in the gym. 

David Green  is a great coach but at Memorial he did not get it done, bottom line.

Could mindset and attitude of both parents and players play a big part in this?

Big, BIG issue IMO.  The Bees of Big Cam's era were junkyard dogs.  Tough as nails.  I see too many kids there now who are "whiny and entitled" and play a lot softer.  The freshman who started at Kelly last year is a throwback to those old teams.  Skilled, strong, physical, and plays all out.  I think a lot of this problem does filter down from parents.  It's always someone else's fault when things go wrong.

​Like it or not, that is the "I am a victim" mentality promoted by the left.

      Head coach Brad Jeffcoat will be leaving the coaching business. He has taken an industrial sales job.  Coach Jeffcoat has really enhanced the basketball program at LC-M. He has done really well. This is a very good job opening. I expect a promotion to happen here and not an outside hire.   On a personal note. I will miss my friend Brad in the gyms. Always enjoyed my time talking with him. Good luck Coach on your new job!!

      The forecast for Huntsville looks brutal for this game. Houston TV says 3"-5" of rain this evening there. Hope they are wrong and you get this in though.

      Who Will Be President Trump's VP Pick?!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      1. Trump has been the president before, and you're saying he has a chance of winning again due to Biden's poor performance. And you're agreeing that he's a turd sandwich (fair). Wouldn't it stand to reason then that Trump must not have had a poor performance during his presidency (since that's the only reason you're saying Biden would lose) which refutes your claim that the only reason Trump stands a chance is due to Biden's poor performance? You would have been better served to say that the only reason DJT may lose the presidency is because his personality is unappealing to many (turd sandwich). I'll take effective over feelings 8 days out of 7. 2. In my opinion, the major reason Biden has any shot at winning is TDS, a country that is slowly but surely being indoctrinated to socialistic thinking and a left-wing media bias that won't report what's truly happening. Definitely not going to win on the real issues. The real issues that are going to sink Biden: a. Wokeness and his unwillingness to stand up to it. He promised centrality, but instead took a hard left into oncoming traffic. b. Economy - go to the grocery store, and you'll see what I mean. c. Immigration - It's a dangerous free for all that is a huge national security risk, a personal safety risk, a health risk & an economic crisis for any city that has to take care of these illegal migrants. All to gain the Democrats millions of votes and control of the government basically forever. d. Energy - I could speak volumes, but you know what I mean. e. Crime and anti-LE sentiment - Turn on the news. f. Handling of COVID-19 - Biden did everything in his power to shut this country down short of martial law Get past the turd sandwich and do what's right for you, your family & the country as a whole.
