Potent would not be the word.  This kid is a beast.  Best part about it is the kid never said a word.  One of the best behaved kids that is being recruited at this level that I have ever seen.  I wish this kid the best and I predict he will do VERY WELL!

I did happen to find last years playoffs in which there were a total of 15 matchups.  Dallas swept the Lakers 4-0 and Celtics swept Knicks 4-0.  No other instance of 4 consecutive wins. [/quote]Steve, If you use your knowledge of statistical coin flipping to demonstrate your ability to invest in other people's money, then remind me never to invest with you!  ;) Regarding the 4-0 runs, you are still going about it the wrong way.  Its not, "what are the odds of beating someone 5 times in a row".  Its "what are the odds of, having beat your opponent 4 times in a row, that you beat them the next time you play". [/quote] ::)

[quote name="Tebowing" post="1184587" timestamp="1330106269"] HJ's WEAK SCHEDULE RESULTS ;) :D :D 3 State Championships 7 Regional Championships 14 Area Championships 18 Bi-District Championships 25 District Championships [/quote] WEAK!!!!!! :)

In the end the only schedule that matters is the one in the playoffs and how you do there!  By that time of the year everyone has played someone that is good enough to challenge them. 

You must play teams from houston or you will never win.  If you do win in the playoffs it won't matter because you didn't play anyone from houston.

good work

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1183629" timestamp="1330009150"] What I have learned is that fans just want to hear the good news about their teams. Every team or player has weaknesses. We read or hear about it starting in college so maybe high school is still off limits. Playoff time is the beginning of a whole new season. What teams beat who last month makes no difference now. I mean c'mon, Nederland almost lost to a team that won't be able to spell p-l-a-y-o-f-f for the next 3 years in a watered down UIL playoff system. ;) [/quote] It is so funny to watch you run nederland down for winning a playoff game and a district championship yet HF wins a playoff game against a very below average team and you call it a great win .  Remember........Nederland was the equal to HF in basketball 5 years ago or so when English arrived.  I can promise you this much.........if HF is winning district and playoff games consistantly 3 or 4 years from now we won't be able to hear the end of it from you.  Yet what Nederland has done is no big deal :o 8) Make up your mind BD..........the path you want HF to take is the path Coach English has led Nederland on!

We are starting to build a good basketball program and starting to play some solid basketball. We are competing and beating some very good teams. I also love how it sturs up and irritates some of those people who are associated with the teams that WERE used to beating Nederland all the time. But in saying that, I think we are still a bit overmatched when it comes to the top tier programs in the state. [/quote]You know, there is something about watching your team during the warmups and wonder if they can come close to matching up against those beasts on the other side of the court.... and then watch them find a way to win the game, once again!!! It's what has made HJ basketball so much fun in recent years... watching David once again take down Goliath; especially when Goliath thinks that his "stuff don't stink" (Sorry, Nash, no reference to you!) ;D [/quote] ::)

my point exactly!

Seals Jones hasn't signed with anyone!

They are probably both better than HJ!

HJ clearly has no chance vs Yates just as they had no chance a few years back when they played wheatley in a warmup game.  Pointless to play a team you know is gonna beat you by 30 plus  ::)

Coach Sigler knows what he is doing.  District Championships and number 1 seeds mean nothing to these two teams.  One thing matters and we all know what that is.

I just bit my tongue off!

[/quote] It's very confusing, but I can tell you that Yates has more students than Wheatley, yet Wheatley will remain in 4A...Yates has a magnet school population, the school of communications, and honestly I dj not sure HOW or IF they counted that population of kids...I was told how it went down, but who knows....As of now, Yates is going to be 3A next year...as of now...next week? Who knows!  ;D [/quote] This just isn't right if this is the case.  Sorry!

I guess my confusion lies in the fact that you are basically saying wheatley and yates counted their students in two different ways?  One of the sure is right and one of them surely is wrong.  Really confused on this!

Sounds like a couple of guaranteed state championships for Yates in 13 and 14!

Can't wait for DV's response!

Just so you know Yates HAS NOT appealed their placement as of last week.  That is a fact.

This makes me smile.  I did not want HJ to have to deal with Yates for the next two years!!!!!!!

But, if it were to happen, then there will be a three way coin flip to determine what team gets a bye while the other two will play it off. Winner of that game would then play the team that won the bye in the coin flip to determine who advances to the playoffs as the #3 seed. [/quote]Aggie, what do you see happening for the 3rd place spot? [/quote] Honestly, I see WOS beating HF and Orangefield and getting the 3rd place spot without any tie breaker. [/quote]You are probably correct but that spot is wide open and who wants it bad enough will get it. [/quote] If this were anyone besides HF doves response would be the following: "Who cares........it is for 3rd place!"
