BMTSoulja1 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Good deal. I was very suprised with this kid's jumping ability. Not only that, he have a nice mid range jumper. Keep up the good work, young fella! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no-look Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I guess I'm missing something here but whats the rave about a quarterback that can play basketball. I am glad for the young man and wish him well.... We have football players that is good in basketball. I guess it gives the sport of basketball some class if a qb plays.....again I am glad for the player but football is over..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to run, stop, pass, shoot, dribble AND THINK all at the same time and within seconds to make your decision. Football is much easier. You go to huddle and rest. That gives you time to think about what you're going to do next. So if a qb can play basketball, its just added incentive that he is a potential athlete in the making. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yea I kind of agree, Every kid on the Evadale team was also on the Dist winning football team. And all 5 starters were allso All dist football players. But I guess thats a big deal in the bigger schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team first Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 No-Look I didnt miss your point and it was a good one!!!!! Basically what he is saying is that there are other players that are as good or better that are playing without any of the recognition. the media sometimes jumps on the kids that are playing multiple sports who actually only excel in maybe one, participate in several, or put on a uniform in all. There are plenty of kids that do alot of the dirty work, are stars in their roles, or lastly are flat out better than the kids who tend to somehow end up in just about every headline. It's sad, but it's a fact, and it does tend to get old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HooperSG25 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yes, I agree, there are many other players that do all the dirty work and get no recognition. Like #10 Ferguson, he averages about 9 rebounds a game and most of it goes unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfd814 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Congrats to Mitchell. Some kids do well in lots of things, but don't want the attention of the media. Some want the attention and don't get it, and complain about those who do. It's the media's job to go find a story to tell, perhaps this is just the story they found this day.

mfd814 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Exactly, The thread is about Mitchell, not other kids not getting attention. Just let it go. Good things come to those who wait. Keep playing young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started at QB in HS, was all-district and area, started 2 years (playing BB) as a shooting guard at a 4A HS, started on the soccer team, and lettered in track for 3 years, but that did not equate to a dominating career in college. Y'all have to realize how much more talent is outside of 'The Triangle'. Many athletes (including myself) would probably only start for One sport for MOST 5-A schools in Houston/Dallas. It is just a different BEAST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
