Hey HF you have no reason to hang your heads what you’ve accomplished this season was unprecedented. There are a lot of grown ppl hurt by the fact some kids are achieving their dreams and defying the odds. No matter what gets said about your coach I’m sure you know the truth and how he has helped you grow everyday not just in basketball but in life . Keep pushing and grinding because it only gets harder but I know you kids will up for the task. To the the true COACH OF THE YEAR TIGEE RIDEAUX , I know your a competitor inside and out just keep leading your program in the right direction and block out all the negativity. There will always be roadblocks the only way is thru them,around them or over them .

So proud of this Raider team! Broke the most wins in school history with 24 wins and got the program’s first playoff win!!!! Beyond proud

Impressive, nailed it. Hats off to the Horns and Coach Tigee. A great Coach and super nice man.

Since you are so insightful regarding deficits and debts, can you tell me why Trumps predecessor increased the debt more than all of his predecessors combined? Can you tell me why Trumps predecessor was the only President ever to preside over a debt rating downgrade for the United States.? The market drop doesn't bother me. I have been through it many many times and EVERY time following the drop, the market moves on to new highs.

This still going. ??

Probably be a senior heavy team next year, too. And the year after that. And the... you get my point.

Lady Hawks lead 43-29 half

Hold your head up. Y’all played a great game. La Marque could not miss a shoot in the first half. Great season Lumberton

Agree 100%. Great season and great effort against the #4 team in the state. I'm proud of the Raiders.

4 of the 5 transfers to Yates this year are seniors. If that's not a red flag, what is? I know schools get transfers. But when you get 3,4,5 a year and they are one sport players (not just students) and seniors to boot, that's suspicious.

Not sure why some would think Rideaux is leaving. He already told players they will be stronger and faster which require track practice. For all players

Exactly. Lol

Tight one

I saw that game, he wasn't impressive at all when pressure applied. Most shooters are zone defense players and can't handle man to man. HF will have the best player in the district hands down next year, if not 2 or 3. They have a JV player that I believe will average a double double next year. Their PG will be probably be one of the tops in the district and they have a kid coming that is one of the best in the state. He's been at a charter school the past few years due to his dad being the coach there. His family lives in Cheeks

So we're admitting that Yates is a charter school?

There is a certain amount of ignorance apparent in this thread. Many have no idea how the UIL guidelines are enforced. This word.. “transfer”... keeps getting thrown around. Transfer refers to a student that DOES NOT LIVE in a school’s attendance zone. In that case, they are not eligible for UIL competition for one calendar year from the day they enroll. If these 6’8 kids MOVED into Yates’ attendance zone then they are legally eligible. It is against the law to deny an education to any student that lives in your attendance zone. THEY DO NOT HAVE ACCESS to every high school kid in the city or Houston.

One last comment and I’m done with this topic. Yates is a school with rich tradition that has always been a basketball dynasty. This I know. They would probably still be a good team even without the transfers but idk if they would still be state contenders. Maybe so. But I don’t think anyone in their right mind would truly believe 5 6’8 seniors decided to transfer to Yates the same year by coincidence. Those type of things just don’t normally happen. But even if that is the case I still don’t think it’s fair for rural area 4A schools to have to compete against schools like Yates. Yea they might only have 8 or 900 kids at their school currently but you never know what type of athletes or how many athletes are gonna pop up at the school the next year by “coincidence”. If that’s the case and the UIL is going to continue to let that happen they should take that into consideration when classifying them. You can’t classify them as 4A because of their enrollment when there’s at least another 5 or 10 thousand kids living within the school district but not currently enrolled at Yates of whom the best athletes in that group might just decide to transfer to Yates. That’s just not fair. Yates player pool is just way too big regardless of their school enrollment

Ahhhhhh, a capitalist. Another one who benefits from a capitalistic society and wants communism to wreck it for everyone else......and of course doesn’t think it will affect them in the process. Lmao

Jack Yates is legendary school. If you want to know a little background it is the home of Phylicia Allen Rashad (Clair Huxtable on the Cosby Show) and her sister Debbie Allen the show (Fame) and producer of the (A Different World). Yates fans have to understand that your at a advantage every year. Yates is in a city with 3 pro sports teams. Your playing towns with a Brookshire Brothers grocery and Dairy Queen.

Another solution would be classifying schools based on their player pools, not their school enrollment. So in instances like this, where a district is clearly allowing students to transfer schools for athletic purposes, or allows kids to choose any school in the district regardless of their residency, have them play in 6A since they’re forming teams from thousands of kids (or tens of thousands), not the 700 or 800 zoned for their school.

Yea something like that if that’s how you took it lol

Good game United.

Congrats on a great season Raiders.

Shadow Creek was loaded. We had to play our best to win, and we didn’t. Missed too many easy shots and had way too many turnovers.

Back to back school record years. Yes, a very good group of young men. Proud of them. Played a great game against a formidable opponent. Congrats to them and Coach Mitchell.

Sorry it had to end. Heck of a season.

I've spoke with BTW coach Grayland a few times. He is a good person. I am glad he has that program doing positive things. The coach for HF needs to be commended as well.

0 from la marque can go!!! That’s the number 4 team in state and lumberton didn’t play bad

#10 for Silsbee played a very good game tonight.

80-59 Coldspring 2:59 4th

Beyond PROUD of our boys and the HISTORY they made this season unforgettable. Keep y’all s head high and remember y’all are apart of the team that brought BASKETBALL to life in LUMBERTON ❤️🏀💙

Great season, Lumberton. You'll be back stronger than ever next year...

That's what I've been hearing but usually 2nd half is when we run away with the game

You can type on this thread until your fingers are blue, UIL has stamped their approval on Yates and their transfer portal

Congrats Rebs!

A lot of those kids have ties to yates .. great grandparents, grandparents , or parents went there ..yates is a very old school ...with yates basketball ur argument goes both ways ... they lose kids to the ft bend schools which are always exceptional in basketball , they lose kids to Prep and private schools ... this balances out.. yates does not have to recruit any players ...players already want to go there ..

We shall see. If your not guaranteed 1st round (top 20), better of staying in school. Ask the Harrison Twins.

The AD is making those statements because Yates is making money for the district. Don’t let politics fool you, if HISD was so in love with Yates why is it they didn’t schedule one game for Yates in the New Delmar Field-house. Yates game attendance is greater then Bellaire, Lamar and The Heights but those schools gets to play at Delmar.

This is another thread which should be interesting in December.

How about this.. unless moving in as a junior high student, ALL TRANSFERS sit one calendar year. No matter the reason. If it's because of education (which is apparently the case), then sitting a year in varsity sports won't have any affect on the schooling. It's broken. But nobody is offering a better solution. You can't just punish one school. What is a fair solution that will be a rule across the board?

Salty or simply the truth? Does ANYONE deny that Yates recruits? This isn’t college basketball, it’s high school. The idea is to take the kids in your town and play against the kids in the next town to see who is better. The next level, college, is where you get the best talent from said schools and put them on the same team and then compete. Yates is basically a small college/JUCO team.

I cant answer that just like you or they can't answer " would the results have been the same if the 4 seniors who suddenly showed up this year ( in a mysterious quest for a better education, of course) had not shown up?

Mr. Advocate: Are those "salty" words untrue?
