I-CAN-PLAY

Is it REALLY necessary that the girls start a week before the boys? I mean REALLY necessary?

Silsbee's #32 and #34....Along with Pheal Hill....Definitely.

Shouldn't you guys put the Silsbee post players (forget the names) on this list?

So let me get this right....Is Hardin Jefferson the ONLY school around here allowed to have a good team every now and then and be proud of it without sarcastic ridicule?

Why is the related content below the Central vs. Ozen game Crime Stoppers?

;) no sir  ;D

[quote name="PURPLE 4EVER" post="682705" timestamp="1256178743"] Did anyone take note of 24-4A.. Angleton and Sante Fe look to be locks... Don't know who has what to play, but the outcome of this district will play a HUGE role in this Region. From all I get, Angleton is the most highly regarded team in this region... If Dawson or Friendswood slips up, that would put Angleton in division I and not II. Good news for PN-G and Dayton, not so good for Crosby, Central, or Vidor (whoever gets farthest). The other districts look pretty weak, Brenham is supposed to be very good this year, but they were not that impressive last year when Dayton put 35 points on them in two quarters. If you go and do look in the playoff bracket, the top seed of 20-4A in division II (probably PN-G) is in the bracket that would include Angleton (if they continue to win and end up in division II).  The top seed in 19-4A (probably Dayton) would have it's hardest test against Brenham (I believe in the 3rd round). If anyone has a good update on 24-4A please post, would like to know the remaining games and what will probably go down in this district. [/quote] Angelton is who we think they are!  You guys need to get off that jock strap!

Come on, 4a guy!  know your stuff before you get in 5a discussions.  ( you make us 4a guys look bad!   ;D ) [/quote]soulja, 24- 7 isn't a blow out >:(  We just lost the game! >:( ;D I wouldn't mind a rematch with them either and central too!!!!!!  :D  :D I do expect a good four quarters tomorrow rey rey. I this game is bigger than northshore to me. I hope the field isn't MUDDY ;)  anyway 31-14 MHS [/quote] That 24-7 game was misleading. If the offense could have mustard anything up, it could have been closer.  That tailback at the Woodlands was nice but Memorial shutdown everything els. PS 24-7 is a blow out.  one score away from being a shut out.  It just wasn't an embarrassment.

To prove my point I will go to the History books..  I will keep it within the last ten or so years.  Let's see what the greats in 3A in this area have done.  It is basically two small schools that rule this area when it comes to playing college ball. I already done Spears.  I will save the best two for last.  The Handcocks because they were so many.  They were all average players to glue guys on a midmajor D1 team. (proved my point) Ashton Hall great 3A player (has been a glue guy, might be an Average player now)  Lousi Arline was an average player at a midmajor D-1 and was all-star in high school.  Netherly at WOS was great in high school, but where is he now?  The HJ kids (good coaching goes a long way in high school) go on to play football or Junco, but D1 is a little out of reach.   The Best two were Thadeous Holden and Trey Peters.  Thad and Lou really don't count because they were 4A at the time.  But Silsbee counts as a small school town.  Thad was the better of the two and became a pillar on a D1 Tennessee program.  He looked like a star at LU.  But the level changes in the SEC and he became a glue guy and starting PG.  Trey Peters had all the tools and the height but he did not have the drive to play college ball. He was the best shoot and had the most pure game with usable talents at a big time D1..  Most likely though he would have been average at best.

[/quote] Not knowing whats in 3A and not expecting a big man there anyway I will have to go with the kid over in Nederland, but I heard Memorial has a nice big.  RCSsports has him ranked in  the Houston area.  Once upon a time I would have yelled Franks from the roof tops on being the best guard, but the Sophmore at Central is out shining him.  And maybe the kid at Kountze.  Forgive me for not knowing all of their names, but I know their games.

[quote name="team first" post="683122" timestamp="1256234741"] Hey...I like this guy..I Can Play....Brings some new flavor to the board, just hope these I know everything this is my board guys don't run him off...hope he continues to post throughout the season, adds a new wrinkle and sounds like hes a junkie..thats meant in a good way! Anyway, nice to have a little different insight, peace! [/quote] Thanks!

[/quote] Learn "transition."  It's a better word. [/quote] Transition: movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another; change: Translation: a function obtained from a given function by adding the same constant to each value of the variable of the given function Superimpose: to impose, place, or set over, above, or on something else. I used the word I wanted to.  As you read above the mathematical definition of [b]translate[/b] is what I was trying to imply.  The function is college basketball. The constant is Benards Game!  The variable is the different levels of college basketball.  I am not talking about his passage into college game from the high school game. *sorry* I could try saying it this way!  "I am talking about taking his skill set and [b]superimposing[/b] it onto the different levels of college ball." But I do not think that [b]transition[/b] is the proper word for what I am explaining! Thank you for your concern anyway little buddy! On another note this is a message board not an English exam.  I will probably misspell words, speak improper English, use acronyms, and paraphrase quite a bit.  So I hope you have fun correcting me!

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="682976" timestamp="1256225569"] Last game that Spears played "on a big stage" he scored 19 points against Duke in the NCAA tourney........Coach K's shut down defended Chris Carrawell guarded him the entire game. [/quote] That was a good game for Spears but let's be realistic.  It is easier to score 19 pts when the focus of the entire defense was to stop Landon Rowe.  His defender often played off him and swarmed Rowe.  And Spears only reached 20 pts once that entire year. AND it wasn't his last game because it was his junior year. AND the next year when it was his turn to be the focal point of the offense his averages dropped.  Not to mention his best year he only averaged 11 pts per game!  AND his year to be the man he averaged 9.7.  AND his senior year he score 3 at A&M, 7 at OSU, and did really bad in conference games that LU had a chance to win, those were "BIG STAGE".  Like I said the perfect D1 [b]GLUE[/b] guy! Not a star... Benard would be a great D1 glue guy as well!

Actually the first thing I said was congrats. I also read the title.. Why couldn't he just say Jarvis Benard scores big! The subject was a smartoff (whatever that is!) I mean GEEZ!

Congrats to the kid, hard work and talent comes together well.  You had a little flare of arrogance in the subject title, though.  I mean, what does this mean????? Well below you will see what it means. A small school high school guy that performs on an elevated level for his classification, goes to an extra small college and performs on that same level against kids from the same level he left in high school... Sounds reasonable to me. He balled in SMALL school in high school and JUNIOR College.  Still doesn't validate his ability on a bigger stage against D1 talent.  Now he just might be a great 3A player and a great junior college player too! Kenyon Spears had a very decorated College experience on a D1 level.  He was a small school guy that put up huge numbers in high school.  But he was very average on a D1 stage and had big trouble when playing against BIG TIME D1 schools.  Imagine if he had went to one of the major conferences, he would have been one heck of a glue guy, but that's all.  In a Junior college he would have averaged 30+.  That is why its the Junior to the Big Boys! Thank you for reading!

Do they have to be?

This was the first thread I read. The game is over. Stop posting on it!

Silsbee's blue chip quaterback is way too strong for this team. I predict a double digit win!

Who is this guy and this team? Yall are eating them alive!

This may be the first year that the district is Wide open. Early favorite may be NED they have some good peices. Ozen is there but I think they get up-ended this year!!! They still will win alot of games though. Central and Rice will be a tough team to beat. That Soph is not soft! Not sure what Livingston has but does anybody ever know about them until district.

Day Dreaming!
