Recommended Posts

  • BMTSoulja1 changed the title to The rematch! 5a State Semifinals, United vs Kimball/ Predictions

Coinflip.  Don't let Kimball's record fool you.  I'm not a huge fan of maxprep's rankings, but Kimball has 2-point losses to #2 and #7 in the country, and an 8-point loss to #3.  Other losses are to the #4 team out of Utah, the #1 team out of Florida, and the #21 team in the country.  They dropped a game to Lancaster in district, and the only loss I can't understand is to the Episcopal School of Dallas, an okay 6A private.  that game happened between christmas and new years, so I wouldn't at all be surprised if that was a covid game.  they're winning by almost 30 a game through the playoffs so far.

Trust me, no one’s taking Kimball lightly.  They’re the typical Dallas school and they play a different brand of basketball than anywhere else in the state.  That factored in that they already know a great deal about us makes this a real tight game.  But let’s not dismiss the fact that BU has played some nationally ranked teams themselves and played well against them while missing Arceneaux.  Also, they’re battle tested.  Had some close games.  One that they lost and a couple that they’ve won.  So pretty much, what Kimball will be dishing out, chances are BU has seen it…

    • It was no defence that hurt Rusk. Barrier’s stats were good.
    • He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack. 
    • If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.
    • You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc.
