Barbers Hill has high hopes, strong team

MONT BELVIEU — John Chancellor has high hopes for this Barbers Hill’s girls basketball team and they don’t all hinge on 6-foot-4 Kendall Shaw.

“If teams double up on Kendall, we’ve got the shooters around her that can make you pay,” he said. “We don’t have any one person for another team to focus on.”

The Lady Eagles open District 19-4A play tonight when they host Crosby at 7 p.m. Goose Creek Memorial plays its league opener at C.E. King, also at 7 p.m.

Barbers Hill is coming off a 26-10 season in which Chancellor’s team finished in a three-way tie for the league title, then won a two-round seeding tournament for the top playoff berth.

The Lady Eagles defeated Little Cypress-Mauriceville in bidistrict and fell to Manor in the area round.

All nine of Barbers Hill’s varsity players are returning, each with at least a season of varsity experience.

Morgan Anderson, Jill Coon, Jordan Cobb and cousins Jasmine Carter and Paris Carter are the team’s seniors, with Jenna Silva and Carli Manchaca juniors and Shannon Evans and Shaw the sophomores.

Chancellor said he expects to start a lineup of Shaw, Evans, Cobb, Carter and Carter against the Lady Cougars tonight, but added that with the exception of Shaw, Jasmine Carter is his tallest player at 5-9 “and there’s no (talent) drop-off for any of our players.”

“The biggest change this year is we don’t have any drop when we sub,” he said. “That’s where we’ve been able to make our runs on people. Because we have more depth, we wear people down.”

The blueprint has worked to the tune of a 7-2 record so far this season.

Barbers Hill’s only two losses have come to 5A teams Channelview and The Woodlands.

In play at the Montgomery tournament last Thursday and Saturday, Barbers Hill beat Willis and New Caney handily and lost to The Woodlands.

Shaw has been labeled one of the top sophomore players in the nation after attending an exposure camp in Atlanta in October.

Chancellor, the son of former Houston Comets coach and current LSU women’s coach Van Chancellor, won’t disagree.

“Kendall worked real hard in the off-season and has gotten a lot stronger and her footwork is a lot better,” the BH coach said. “She’s becoming a real force in the paint.

“And she’s become more of a focal point for us. We’re definitely going to try to go inside first and outside second.”

But Shaw isn’t alone in putting in hard work.

“As a group, all our players came in in tremendous shape, quicker and faster,” Chancellor said. “I think it shows.”

Kingwood Park and C.E. King wound up in the three-way tie for the district title with Barbers Hill last year.

“Kingwood Park returned everybody and they’re picked to win district this year,” said the Eagles coach. “C.E. King will always be tough and Crosby has a real big post player and some young guards and they’re going to be pretty good.

“You can’t count out Dayton. They’re always running and pressing. And Goose Creek Memorial won the Nederland tournament. Our district will be pretty tough. There are no easy games.”

In other games scheduled tonight, Sterling’s boys host Spring Woods while the Lady Rangers host Clear Brook. Lee’s boys host Worthing while the GCM boys host Houston Davis. Caney Creek’s boys play at Barbers Hill. Anahuac’s girls are at Deweyville.

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
