[quote name="usedtobe33" post="954380" timestamp="1295990891"] In the first meeting Dayton cried about the refs...  I'm not sure if any of them lived in BH...?  Even if Dayton suits up the principal, the head football coach, and the janitor in zebra stripes.... BH still wins in a close one!  Don't forget "the hill is for real". Just thought I would throw a little fuel on this one... [/quote] yeah...thanks for that LOL

Gonna be a battle royale.  This is turning into big rivalry as Dayton's program is improving every year.  On paper its BH but.....we'll see!  Wooldridge will have Dayton prepared, no doubt.

Not biting :)

Kendall Shaw - Junior, BH.  A lot more to her than height, young lady can PLAY

Assume you mean "below senior".  If so, the list should include Nekia Jones from Ozen

[quote name="WBbear" post="953675" timestamp="1295838283"] Ozen is so much better now. [/quote] Than what? 3 weeks ago?  How did that happen... :)

[quote name="dimlaws" post="953666" timestamp="1295836813"] Well...Hillguy said it all JR...I guess its just that easy to beat Ozen ..sounds like it should be an easy win for Central.....I guess BH and the other 24 teams that Ozen beat Couldn't stop what Ozen does after a defensive rebound or made shots...lol.. Dont worry about      # 14's defense and toughnes, Dont worry about #1 shooting 3pters, Don't worry about #21's outside shooting and ability to penetrate. Oh and #12....surely dont worry about her......Just stop what they do after defensive rebounds and made shots...Just that simple!...lmbo!!!!!  [/quote] Thats not what I said, and you know it.  The problem was BH and Central didnt know what to do the first time...they will next time  ;) Ozen has a great team, but can they "adjust to the adjustments"?  LOL

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="953396" timestamp="1295812082"] Nope. According to Wikipedia, part of Mont Belvieu is in Chambers County and part is in Liberty County. [/quote] Chambers County babeee and proud of it.

Yeah...I watched it couple of times on video...it was rediculous.  No foul was called either.  Sokay...after getting knocked to floor, Jenna went on to have her best game of the year, 18 pts I believe  ;D Great photos as always, 146!

[size=14pt][b]IF [/b] [/size] they can stop what Ozen does after a defensive rebound or made basket, I will go with Central.  If they can't figure out what that is, then they don't deserve to win.  ;) ;D

Yep...they came to play and we were flat.  Bright side is we made the adjustment at halftime and held them to [b]8 pts [/b] in the second half. Final BH 59 Crosby 37

Dang, some good discussion here...should have had its own thread!  As a select team manager for several years (SB) and dad to a kid aspiring to play at the next level, I've come to some realizations about youth sports (HS and select).  For what its worth: - It doesn't matter how bad the parent wants it or even how good she is at a sport, a kid needs to love the game AND have the desire to play at the college level (or even continue it in HS) to make it happen.  It might STILL happen, but she prob won't be happy long term. - Playing multiple sports in HS is great, but mix in one demanding select sport and it becomes darn near impossible hold up to the rigors, be sucessful and stay injury free.  Plus it is very stressful on teenage girl's life outside of sports.  Throw in a boyfriend and forget about it.  And lets face it, its easier to pull off playing mulitple HS sports in smaller enrollments because there is less competition to make the team. - I've been around select sports and coaches for a long time and have NEVER seen anyone make ANY money, much less "big money". I know there are rare exceptions Bleed, but for the most part you can count on a finanicial loss when you take on a travel team.  - If a kid truly wants to play at the next level, especially D1, they almost [u]have[/u] to cut their sports down to one "major" sport (or one that does not conflict with the almost year-round select sport) by their Soph year and, unless they are a Deion Sanders type athlete, better plan on playing select ball with a high-level competitive team to develop and be seen.  Since recruiting rules are so strict now, its easy and efficient for college coaches to come to big select exposure tournaments where they can see dozens of athletes.  Its pretty rare nowadays to see college coaches come to places like BH, OF or HJ to "scout talent".  If they do come, its because they first saw the athlete during the summer select season and just following up. - There are a lot of parents out there who are not objective or realistic about their kids abilities and college prospects.  Throwing all your eggs in one basket (like Bobcat's comment on VB) in hopes that that will get a kid a scholarship is just plain silly if the kid is just not gifted or skilled enough.  Not many "Rudy's" out there that just make it on determination. - Just my opinion here, but there are two kinds of (HS age) select/travel teams  - ones that are put together to showcase athletes for college exposure and ones put together to improve a HS program.  The second one is great if you can keep harmony common goals, but if I am a parent of kid wanting to play majory college ball, I will not allow her to play on the "HS" select team...for two reasons, first being that that team is not going to play in events where major colleges will be watching.  Second, I want her to play with players better than her to make her better.

[quote name="Slam14" post="950884" timestamp="1295410799"] Nice effort by the Bears tonight.  Game stayed close until a shooting dry spell by the Bears in the 4th locked it up for Livingston.  Even though "moral victories" still get recorded in the "L" collum, Coach E probably felt good about her teams effort especially after yet another injury or illness had a starter on the sideline tonight.    The Bears continue to fight and improve.  I wouldn't be surprised with several "W's" down the stretch for the Lady Bears in this second half of district. Side note: The long drive to Livingston is tough enough once...but I can't imagine how tough it must be for the Lions and parents to make long away games each week!    [/quote] Sounds like the Lady Bears put together a good effort tonight!  I agree, Liv has some of the most challenging district travel in the state (outside of WTx).

Final BH 60 GCM 26

Why is so hot in this gym?  gotta be some twisted strategy to slow Shaw down LOL

Final Barbers Hill 88 Galena Park 26

due to ineligible player.  Went from 9-0 in district to 2-7 (now 3-7), but might still make the playoffs. Story: [url=[Hidden Content] Telegram[/url]

[quote name="hjhawks" post="948133" timestamp="1295031884"] Livingston is way overrated... ozen should handle them soundly...... [/quote] I agree...and I think jr was baiting some Ozen fans  ;)  I bet Coach Hall has something up her sleeve though to try to slow down that Ozen offense

Vidor will make Central work, but Lady Jags by 24.

Dang...some pent up frustration got released.  Congrats

Final BH 69 NF 28

Was very impressed with her!  I think think the opposing teams best strategy is to deny her GETTING the ball, cuz when she has it she usually finishes.

[quote name="roar!" post="943105" timestamp="1294281960"] I wouldn't get too big headed if I were you.  There were a lot more things besides a one hour late start that were bad in that game.  Officiating being one, if more fouls would have been called, Central would have had more than one girl fouled out.  We'll see how thing go when we play in Livingston. [/quote] Thats a lot of "if's and but's" to turn over a 24 pt win.  :o Liv has a good team with a great coach, but they just have not played any real opponents until Central...that hurt them.  I do predict it will be a 10 pt or less margin at home, but same result.

[quote name="snooker" post="942649" timestamp="1294237113"] if one makes it to reg. tourn. id be suprised. ... good district would have more than 3 good teams also. .. but its still prob better than a lot of districts. [/quote] Central and Ozen have a VERY good chance to make it to the Region tourney.  This region is weak overall (in depth)as usual.  Look out for Huntsville. Yates is will cruise until they actually play a quality team, then they will fall.

Final Central 63 Livingston 39 I suspected Livingston was living on borrowed time. Congrats to the Lady Jags.
