As previously stated many times before Yates was even reclassified as 3-a( hence it has nothing to do with the HJ loss to Yates), they dont acquire their players in the same manner that other schools do. IF the loss at Yates was the problem, I would have been complaining about a similar type loss to Central early in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast percentage of HJ players are products of the community and the Twin County Little Dribblers program which is one of the better programs around and hence they develop their players. If you are so confident of what you are saying, give me 5 names of players who played at HJ in recent years ( and made meaningful contributions)who are NOT products of the school district. FYI- Lumberton, Bridge City and PNG do not place much emphasis on basketball as HJ does. Bridge City has one of the better baseball programs in the state and it is done with homegrown/developed talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Vitale Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thats where you're wrong, my friend...I know exactly what I am talking about and you know it... ;)...I give you a hard time about HJ, but fact is, YOU HAVE gotten kids in that came there JUST FOR BASKETBALL...Do you dispute that?

Lazeek Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 First off, China is in HJISD boundaries so ALL kids from China go to HJ. Just like Nome, Sour Lake, some of Cheek and actually some of Jefferson County since the school district line extends out to Moore Road across from NW Forest.Come on Dickie, name names.

Dick Vitale Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 LAZEEK, this is not a witch hunt...I am simply saying that there HAS been some kids that have come into the HJ school system exclusively because of the basketball program...NOTHING wrong with that, however, I was trying to prove that point to our esteemed colleague, Mr. Nash... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since our two schools have been in the same classification there has been NO suspicious transfers into the Hawks program. Stick to something you know about - which would be Ozen and Yates.
