I was wondering the same thing. lol. I don't think they have anything like they have had in the last few years. lol

Those days of Yates playing in prestige national ranked tournaments is over, we are an average team trying to stay competitive in the Houston Area.  Yates will never have a team similar to the team that finished #1 in the nation a few years ago therefore Yates is not expected to play at that high level of competition.

  I would like to see more of the ranked teams in 5A schedule more National Ranked Teams in the future.  There are over a dozen tournaments that showcase national ranked teams like "Oak Hill Academy, Findlay Prep, DeMatha, LaLumiere and Montverde Academy".  If you say your team is the best in Texas why not play a more competitive schedule!!!

I noticed that they do not have the size, that they have had in the past few yrs, although they still play that tough pressure defense.

Henderson had no answer for them. Score could have been much worse, but Coach Wise called the dogs off going into the 4th quarter.

I think its good for some of these East Texas schools to get a chance to play a team like Jack Yates, In fact they are the talk of the tournament up here. Should be a good crowd tonight when they play Lufkin.

But this year's teams are a little weak.  Maybe they invited some stronger teams that later declined.

They used to play this tournament the week between Xmas and New Years. Moving it to this time increased competition with other tournaments equalling a smaller and less competitive field. We used to play in it when Brian English was the coach at the V.

    • To clarify, Dems love wars. They rage daily in the bluest of blue inner citicis. Chicago had 39 shootings over the weekend, 9 dead. Warzone. Baltimore, Memphis, Detroit, etc. I am sure was just as bloody. The blue body count rises daily. I am sure the blue defunding of police and releasing murders without any bail have nothing to do with it. Right?   
    • Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?
    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.
