  1. 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 .

  6. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. A lot of folks around the basketball world would argue that the PG for HJ was the 2nd best player in 22-4A this year. #22 was as good as any one in that district at the post. He had 20 against Yates. Not bad for a role player.

  13. A (gasp) CNN reporter, Fareed Zakaria, blows away Bernie’s plan and what’s actually happening in Sweden & Denmark. For instance, Sweden tried a similar plan to Bernie’s for 25 years (1970-1995). It was a bust. An important read for anyone who wishes to be an informed voter. [Hidden Content]

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  32. Harder in what way? It's not harder to get accepted into college, get financial assistance, gain meaningful employment and even become president of the greatest and most powerful country on Earth. It's harder to get fired from a job, I'll give you that one. You can't call Davis a crybaby for pointing out undisputed flaws in a system and that Yates takes advantage of those flaws to create an unfair advantage and then cry about fairness in society that is easily disputable.

  34. 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 ..

  35. I Work hard , and control the things that I can control, I don’t complain To my kids about the unevenness ..I tell them to work hard and treat everyone like they want to be treated ... but I’m not gonna make a big issue Or go to the media about something that I’ was guilty of doing years back ...Clay Davis was Clearly out of line for those comments and for allowing his player to be disrespectful..and y’all are on here Justifying his comments , actions / lack of actions

  36. If it’s a legit transfer (meaning no recruitment was involved) it’s fine with me. I have no reason to favor any one of these programs over the other. I support all SETX programs. I’m just giving my opinion from the outside looking in. I have no clue who’s actually recruiting who’s not but certain things look more suspicious than others. Transfers happen all the time. Kids go to different programs for different reasons. Not every time do these reasons involve recruiting. In fact I believe my hometown, Woodville lost a good 2 sport athlete to Silsbee a couple years back. We don’t get a whole lot of great athletes in Woodville so that hurt us I think. But I don’t think any recruiting was involved. I believe he had family ties in Silsbee or may have lived there before at one point and it didn’t hurt that Silsbee has a great athletic program which I think had something to do with him and his family’s decision also. I think that transfer hurt Woodville a lot more than it helped Silsbee which is the killer part lol. But I don’t think there was any recruiting involved. I think that was a decision he and his family made on their own. Now those type of things happen all the time but when 4 or 5 good athletes transfer to a program at one time with no ties to the community that raises eyebrows. If you can prove a coach is recruiting players on a small or large scale than I am all the way with you but if your just going to throw allegations out there because a program has had a transfer or 2 over the years sounds like your reaching

  37. No they're not. All of the schools may be open enrollment but they still have attendance zones, in which the students have to live in order to not be considered a transfer student. Transfer students have to sit one calendar year from the date of enrollment in order to participate in UIL activities (varsity). You do realize that pretty much every school in the state is open enrollment, right? For funding reasons... By the way. These other schools (pretty much all of them) also have the right to be selective on which out of district students they allow. Usually because of test scores or discipline.. but still. Schools get funding based on test scores, too. Is it fair that a school only allows an out of district transfer if they're going to have passing test scores? Because they do..

  38. And what they don’t understand is That yates loses key players just as they come. So this goes both ways. Yates and other hisd school lose a lot of players to ft. Bend , prep schools , and private schools. A lot of the people on this site have bad understanding of what goes on in Houston and HiSD...

  40. 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?

  42. Wouldn't nobody here be apologizing for these squads if their teams were the ones that had to deal with it. Hypothetical Super team - 150 Beaumont United - 40 If that something like that happened every year, you know good and well feelings would change. I applaud Coach Davis for speaking the truth after the game.

    What ever fit s the narrative. I ve studied the koran enough to know what it s teachings are. And just because some don’t act on it still doesn’t make the teachings acceptable. “Peace in the Middle East” HA! Yeah right....will never happen as long as islam is around. Their hatred is deeply rooted... Im also a murderphobe, rapistphobe, pedophilephobe, lazyliving of the govtphobe, abortionistphobe, racistphobe, thieveryphobe, massmanipulatorphobe, I could keep going
