AggiesAreWe Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 [quote name="Jay Bilas" post="1044851" timestamp="1314724633"]Well for about the 5th time....Have you seen the thread on here entitled "the rich keeps getting richer"? It talks about the fact that Silsbee is receiving a new transfer..However, I read another thread entitled, "Houston Yates keeps on recr....er receiving transfers" (something like that) that suggests that the Houston school is recruiting kids to go there. I was just poking fun, I dont have a horse in the race, just thought it was pretty funny....and BIASED! ;D[/quote]These days, you don't have a horse in any race. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on where you live and who you root for...I guess.[/quote] Why would anyone "transfer" to Sour Lake?? How about virtually no crime and a high performing school district. Who in their right mind would want to move to the Yates district. Have you ever been to the neighborhoods nears Yates or for that matter most in Beaumont.

Jay Bilas Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Not intending to down your area, but my point was what is actually in Sour Lake that would make a family up and move there from somewhere else. You have answered that question. And so do they usually just happen to have a son that can play ball, too? usually? I am sure Sour Lake is a fine place to live.

Little Dribblers program is a good one and develops the overwhelming majority of those who play at Hardin Jefferson- ( i think that is the way it is supposed to be done and, if it was that way everywhere, HJs basketball history might be even better than it currently is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Bilas Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 That is the BEST way IMO (little dribblers) to build a program in ANY area. I am not sure how they do it at Houston Yates, but in Kingwood, that is the reason for the success that they have had there. What makes it hard on them is the fact that they have built Kingwood Park and Atascosita High Schools, which are in essence, splitting the kids up. As far as the inner city programs, such as Yates, I don't think they have such a thing. One major advantage that I see you guys having at Hardin Jefferson is the fact that you get ALL of the kids that you are supposed to get..That makes a big difference.

How does that compare to the numbers at the two you mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Bilas Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thus the reason for building the two other Kingwood schools!! ;D Kingwood High has a total population of around 4700 students. Kingwood Park around 2200, and Atascocita somewhere near 3000....Last I remember..I could be off by a few, but the fact is, Kingwood High would have been even better had they not built those other 2 schools and left half of the kids at Humble High...240 males? I didnt know it was that few. Thats small for class 3A! Are you guys close to 2A numbers as far as overall attendance goes? Have they ever considered moving down to 2A? You guys have basketball tradition and do great in 3A, but what about that other sports? Do THEY want to move down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenash Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have no idea if there is a desire to move down. Football team has been sub-par for some time. Basketball program(girls and boys) is definitely the flagship. School has multiple state championships in golf. My point was that, when you take into consideration the student numbers, the basketball program is a truly effective one and, most of the time, without the benefit of move ins.
