[quote name="bleed orange" post="749028" timestamp="1264382503"] All the show boating is because of TV/NBA, that being said. Here is my take on the game. First I want to tell a story that the Kountze fans do not want to hear. In 1978 Orangefield beat Kountze in football 99-0. Believe me they returned the favor in basketball the same year. Just not as bad but all the same. In that football game Orangefield took their starters out in the second half we were up 56-0 at the half I think. I do have the article but dont feel like finding it. In the second half we never passed and ran a qb sneak for most of the second half. My point is these kids who do not see as much playing time, how can you ask them to lay down? This is their time to show the coach that hey I can play. If you want to lay down then leave the starters in. That is more respectiful. In my opinion HJ did nothing wrong. Hamphire Fannett quit just like Kountze did in 1978. [/quote] I agree 100 percent.  No one could say this better.

[quote name="Brick  Tamland" post="747939" timestamp="1264178642"] HJ is only gonna win by 10.  70-59 [/quote] When did 70-59 become a 10 point margin?

Can I ask everyone what "bruh" means?

[/quote] I just keep it 100! I just don't appreciate certain guys on here throwing stones and can't handle being stoned. Know what I mean. U should cuz you're 1 of'm. I don't understand that when we throw alley oops were showing off but Turner can throw a alley off the backboard and its all good. "Double Standard" I guess Devin and Roman are Trend Setters! Ktz Lions in da house!!! "Hated by many but Loved by Plenty" [/quote] In case you were wondering swag I was being facetious................I guess I should explain further .......I was joking!

I love you passion for the game swag.........

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="746820" timestamp="1264004171"] [font=Courier]Can I have one day in peace? And thanks (edited for spelling) for posting just when you have negative things to say. Have a good one! Long live Gov. Jesse Ventura. Edited to add this statement: I guess when Swag and Walter aren't around, you have to jump and instigate with someone. Admit it guys, you aren't giving any team a bad rap, are you? [/font] [/quote] As much as I hate to admit it coop this post is pretty accurate!!!!!!!!

one mans opinion.  Take it or leave it.  His analysis of the first Kountze-HJ game was the same way.  All about what Kountze did not do.  P.S.  Just trying to get this thing stirred up nice and early this morning! LOL!

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="746686" timestamp="1263970366"] [font=Courier]Great write up Gabe....[/font] [font=Courier]My take on Ofield: [b]OF did a good job defensively holding the Hawks to 54 (edited from 56) points[/b]. [b]Turner had 8 and Ricossa had 7 so no problems on the defensive end.[/b] [b]OF is a outside shooting team and they died by it tonight. Ricossa had 2 PFs in the 1st QTR and they never attacked him to get him in foul trouble.[/b] [b]OF shot 32% from the floor and finally started driving to the hole in the 3rd but they never did it consistently after that. Hayes had 16 boards, most on the defensive end. Ricossa cleaned up on the defensive end because OF never had anyone rebounding. [/b] [b]Anderson & Prudhomme did good jobs scoring in the 1st half. [/b] Talent is there for OF...Looks like they are going to have to beat WO-S twice. Well officiated game. [/font] [/quote] I am going to break down coops UNBIASED analysis of the HJ-OF Game. First Paragraph. First sentence is saying something positive about OF.  Second sentence a negative about HJ and positive about OF. Second Paragraph First sentence an excuse for OF.  Second sentence another excuse for OF. Thir Paragraph First sentence excuse for OF.  Second sentence positive for OF and a positive for HJ that was nulified by another excuse for OF. Fourth paragraph First sentence is the first time something good was said about HJ without it being followed by a negative comment or an excuse for OF. And coop wonders why people think his bias is against HJ.  This says it all.  Just admit it coop and it would be better.   By reading your analysis this win for HJ had nothing to do with what HJ did and everything to do with what OF did not do!

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="746311" timestamp="1263932160"] We are still waiting for the FINAL PLAYER RANKINGS from last season..........I guess you decided NOT to post in since you really had no choice but to name Benard as the #1 player since he was 3A Player of the Year!!!!  Hope we don't have to wait as long as we have for those rankings!!! ;D ;D ;D ;) [/quote] yet he was behind hayes last year.  maybe that means good things for jacoby!!!!!!

[quote name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="746304" timestamp="1263931911"] [font=Courier]Oh I know guys....but ya'll are brutal....Another list will be posted during playoffs.[/font] [/quote] come one coop.  We love you and the work you do.  Wouldn't be any fun if we didn't bash you a little. 

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="746219" timestamp="1263923142"] Curious, if the Thunder had a game on the same night as the HJ/Silsbee game, would the Thunder be giving a forfeit? ;) ;D [/quote] LOL!!!!!!!!!! Forfeit or the coach might get boot REAAAAAAAAAL EARLY!!!!!!

[quote name="Two-Dogs..." post="746248" timestamp="1263926967"] [quote]As long as Silsbee is the best team. [/quote] Why wouldn't PAM be the best team? [/quote] PAM would be the best team and IMHO Walker would be the best player.  That coming from an HJ fan!

[quote name="utfan06" post="746236" timestamp="1263926018"] He isnt in a love fest with Kountze he prolly just gets tired of hj fans (not talking about you) running there mouth about HJ this and HJ that lol [/quote] No lovefest with kountze.  Just  a lovefest with Brey.  They fact that Brey is ahead of Walker is a joke as well.  Walker is the best player in the area no doubt.

Rankings are great besides a few things but no one is ever going to agree with everything and that is the beauty of it.  Fact of the matter is you could poll every coach in this area and if you ask him if he would rather have turner or hayes it would not even be close.  Last year coop ranked hayes ahead of bernard..........that was a joke as well.  It happens all of the time but the truth is it is no big deal.  This helps promote kids and that is what this is about.  It is clear who coop wants to promote and that is his job and not ours!  

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="742358" timestamp="1263253139"] Blue, I have seen my fair share of basketball in my lifetime. All kinds, from "high flying" to "stall ball". I have seen state championship basketball, all classifications, for 38 straight years now. I think I know what I am talking about. I have seen teams that play the "high flying" style win state championships while being able to let up when things got out of hand. They had that ability and I believe Yates has that ability too. Wise just chooses to keep the pedal to the metal, no matter what. No excuse for that. I am sorry, but what is so hard to understand. A team is up by 88 points at halftime and continues to press the entire game, is running up the score intentionally. It is completely unnecessary. Has nothing to do with keeping the teams edge, or preparing them for playoffs, or preparing them for life, or.......... GET REAL!!! ::) You'll never convince me that letting up on the pressure is going to cost those guys anything. Self glorification, that's all it is. Like I said, I have no problem with someone scoring 170 points and I do not want teams to "quit" scoring. I just have a problem with a team that continues to trap and press when up by over 100 points. Totally unnecessary. [/quote] All of that is your opinion and that is fine.  No need to make others feel like their opinion is not valid.  I see your side of it but simply do agree.  I see this as a never say die system and kids who if they are let up for one minute may let up for the year.  It is a mentality and I believe he is trying to get them to buy into it.  I see your side.  Simply disagree.
