JR. HIGH BASKETBALL

I wish I could find something to disagree with you on.

Orangefield (and Lumberton) have been successful not only because of Little Dribblers, but because their LD's program DOES IT RIGHT! The kids want to be there, they have fun, and they learn the correct fundementals. It's not a community boot camp.

My original post was about how LCJH's 8th grade girls were loaded with athletes...and they are. I'm not backing off that statement one bit. That's why your statement is so valide about the Little Dribblers program. The Orangefield atheletes are not necessarily better athelets, they've just "been there done that" in Little Dribblers. 49 to 25 is not a very close score...but a 24 point victory for any Orangefield girls team is not uncommon is it?[/quote']

Exactly my point...LCJH's 8th grade team probably does have better athletes, but they lack in fundamentals and just plain old knowledge of the game. That's where LD's comes in...we do make it fun but we work too and these kids have been playing ball since they were 7 years old. When they get to Jr high they already know what's going on and that's a huge part of our success!!!

Vidors 8th grade a team has two very good players. They are 3-0 and are getting ready to play in the Southpark tournament over the holidays

Bridge City Middle School vs St. Anne's tonight.

BC 7th Grade B team lost in close game.

BC 7th Grade A team won with Cameron Dishon hitting the final basket to win the game 28 - 26 with 3 seconds on the clock. It was a nail biter!

Heard the St. Anne 7th grade a team was pretty good. Heard they missed a ton of free throws against bc 7th grade.

[Guest BCcard]

St Anne's team is a very talented group, as are the BC boys.

Both teams missed shots that they shouldn't have, but that is 7th grade basketball. Very evenly matched teams. Great kids on both sides too.

Some of them have played baseball together too, and they are friends which makes them enjoy it even more. Awesome game all the way around.

[bassman]

I agree BCCard. Great game by two great teams. Good luck to ya'll the rest of the season.

Hardin has one of the best 8th grade boys teams in the state!

[twobag]

CLEVELANDS 8TH GRADE TEAM IS THE BEST YOU WILL FIND IN THE STATE.  THEY ARE BIG AND FAST.

[hj_hawk_60]

Hardin has one of the best 8th grade boys teams in the state!

how do u know that???

[twobag]

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM PLAY YOU SHOULD. ALL OF THE STARTING FIVE ARE VERY ATHLETIC AND CAN PLAY ALL POSITONS, WITH THE TALLEST BEING 6'3 THE REST ARE 5'10 TO 6'0.

[turntwobaseball]

I WOULD PUT PORT NECHES 8TH GRADE UP WITH ANYBODY.THEY ARE PLAYING VERY WELL.BEAT ST. ANN BY 50 THIS PAST WEEKEND.

[bassman]

Port Neches has a very good team. Big and fast and they have a great guard. St. Anne and Cathedral both beat Hardin so I would say they are just average. Probably win their district but as far as being the best in the state, I don't think so.

[Guest CougarPride]

Well I have a son that plays in Crosby.  their seventh grade has 2 6'4 kids one can dunk, and a 6'7 245 pound monster that plays on the nike national team.  the smallest kid on their starting group is their 5'10 point gaurd so I'm going to say they are pretty talented.  When he gets his team picture I will post it.  It is hard to imagine it, but it is true.

[twobag]

I SEEN PNG PLAY THIS WEEKENDEND IN THE EAST CHAMBERS TOURN.  CLEVELAND WOULD BEAT THEM BY 20 OR BETTER.  NOT DOWNING PNG  THEY ARE A GOOD TEAM. THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.

[Guest BCcard]

Wow!  I would love to see that 7th grade Crosby team play.  BC's 7th grade has one 6'4" starter, and a lot of speed....that might be  good game to watch. 

Best of luck to the Crosby 7th grade team.

[KFDM COOP]

Keep us updated.

[cma123]

Keep us updated.

spurger was up by over 20 in the third quarter , so they put there subs in and the final ended up being 49 to 33 spurgers favor. Then they played evadale for the championship game and beat them 57 to 24. The Spurger boys ended up not losing a game in their season, actually this group of boys hadn't lost a game as 7th graders or 8th graders and has placed 1st in every school tournament entered.  They have started their final year in little dribblers basketball.  On February 24, they played their first game against Beaumont marshall middle school little dribblers team and the ended up beating them by 14 the final was spurger 60 beumont 46.  These boys have been contacted by the following schools for practice games; Bridge City, Orangefield, Hardin-Jefferson, and Hampshire-Fannett.  The Beaumont game gave them such a better game than they have played in the last 2 years and this will get them ready for their regional little dribblers tournament March 14 to 17 in Evadale.

Sounds like a special group of guys. Keep up the good work men!

  About Hardin having the best 8th grade basketball team in the area is not really true I know for a fact that Anahuac 8th grade team beat them this past basketball season.  I would have to say that Kountze 8th grade team is the best, and Anahuac, and Hardin tied for second.
