And heres the crazy part. If Primetime Prep plays 3-A this season, its just not fair for Yates. So you can just imagine whats gonna happen to the local area schools...*ahem* HJ  ;D
[/quote]

PP will not be a factor so Yates can hang their hat on dropping down to 3A and PERHAPS winning a state championship that they choked away last year.
[/quote]PP will play basketball this year. Not sure if they have decided on the granting the UIL schedule or they hit the national schedule.
[/quote]

They should hit the national schedule.  Thats what most AAU teams do

Was it our President who said " I want to make sure everyone plays by the same rules and gets a fair shot"?  If I didnt know better Dove, I would think you believe in that in the general scheme of life but not in high school basketball.

Will HJ still play a soft schedule again this year?

Isnt it amazing that you can continue to do that and make it the REgionals many consecutive years and even win a state title?  I wonder if that staff over there knows something the "experts" dont?

[/quote]State Title? That was almost 20 years ago Nash. Yall played "real basketball" back in those days.

[AggiesAreWe]

HJ won state just 6 seasons ago, '07.

[stevenash]

Dove has a very convenient memory. 

[BLUEDOVE3]

Hey, speaking of 6 seasons ago, what happened to the HJ player , Ryan Donohoe. I know he went off to JUCO. Where did he go afterwards and how did he do?

[/quote]

If you are unable to remember the state title of six years ago, how can you remember any of the players names?  I also might add there was another trip to Austin in recent history that did not produce a state title.

[BLUEDOVE3]

I remember Donoho (sp?) and I think he had a cousin playing guard the next season. So did Donoho  move on after JUCO to another school? He was a good player.

Yes, he went to a small school in Oklahoma but I can't remember the name.  I think you will find that Sammy Mitchell is a very close relative of Donahoe.

They should leave the games at their home gyms! Adds to the atmosphere!

Too many people have been unable to attend the games- since you are a Democrat who believes in the "give everyone a fair shot" doctrine, surely you understand wanting to let more people participate
in these games.

I wasnt pulling for it ( because I am a heartless and selfish one percenter who wants to have the entire gym to himself and deprive other deserving individuals of a place a the game-)But I decided that the mutual decision by the two schools was a judgement that would be superior to mine.  What do you think about doing this:  When people enter the gym, the upper 50% of wage earners pay the admission for the lower 50% so that everyone gets a "fair shot"

[/quote]Contrary to popular belief Nash, the lower 47% want a "fair shot" and no entitlements to the game.

[stevenash]

Yeah, right.  All we have to do, then, is to define a "fair shot"  Seems like paying no taxes and getting government assistance is considerably more than a fair shot.

[BLUEDOVE3]

I might also add that it appears the 1% wants to move the HJ/Silsbee venue to attract more [s]customers[/s]..err fans. And possibly making the 47% who work hard for their money and pay taxes having to drive extra miles (to see family & friends play) thereby reducing their family income until their next pay check. And, after all of this x-tra pressure put on them by the 1%,  Silsbee will win the game anyway. ;D ;D

There were no 1 percenters in the decision making process but rather a group of coaches and administrators who are average joes.  But I do understand how good that sounds to you.  AS for additional proceeds, I suspect all if not more than all of the incremental gains will go toward renting the facility and paying for the security.  But if the schools did come out ahead a little, arent all of you good Dems in favor of more $ for education anyway?  And could you please calculate the additional fuel costs that will be incurred by those who attend?  You also might want to refer to the board regarding the games last year where every Tom Dick and Harry ( yep, the same guys who will have to go that horrible extra expense) were complaining that they couldnt get into the game and it ought to be moved.

[Castor27]

So what you are saying is the middle class made the decision. How did that happen? ;)

[AggiesAreWe]

I am certainly happy that the games have been moved. It was most definitely needed. I know that the administrators from both schools are extremely happy about it. Much less of a headache.

From a fans point, much better. From a broadcasters point, much much better.

From a coach and players point, doesn't really matter. It's all good where ever they play.
