[quote name="uandme08" post="1202291" timestamp="1332798534"] Don't count my Panthers out just yet although we are used to being the underdog. We have more than just Jakobi coming back plus you never know who just may make a special appearance. Yes, losing Trey will have its effects but we shall return lol..... [/quote] 8)

Nederland will miss Carr on the D-Line, but will still be fine and should win District again.  Vidor returns a lot including their QB, so They should be 2nd.  These are the only clear 2 cut teams that are head and shoulders above the rest.  Ozen loses Green, so there will be a drop off there.  My Jags will have some good talented replacing our 2012 seniors, but it will be in the hands of the Central staff.  (  ::) ::) ).  Livingston returns Collins, but they lose a lot with losing bull an the other RB (forgot his name). 

Very interesting. The kid is good.  He was all conference so and so and a very good scorer this year.  I believe his stock would have been higher had his team gotten out of the first round of the playoffs.

Hence the '??'  8) [/quote]I never said more athletic players make a better team or a better game.  You see, I think It's about numbers.  More numbers mean you'll have a beter potential to have your 6'1" guards, your 6'5" forwards and your 6'10" centers.  More numbers mean you have the better chance to have your more better coaching as better coaches tend to move to the higher classifications probably for better pay and a more better variety of talented players.  All this in place, generally speaking, more of the high profiled players going to big D-1 colleges come from Big School, so they tend to have a higher profile than the small schools.  This is not a put down to any of the lower classification schools, but this is indeed the same analogy as Lamar Basketball vs. Duke, UNC, or Kentucky College hoops.

[/quote]No.  I actually didn't get a chance to see any games and I won't be able to see the 'real' games either.  I never did call the lower class games fake.  It's really simply a preference.  I prefer the bigger school games in general, therefore, I agreed to BD3 as in calling them 'real'.

[/quote] You've never heard me say Ozen , Central , or HJ is mighty or real basketball  :D I'm referring to Kimball, Ft. bEND Travis, etc, These schools have players who may be future NBA stars. Kentucky ain't looking at no players from White Oak, Clarksville, and whatever other school in 1-a, 2-a, etc. [/quote]....  and your response is.....?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1195067" timestamp="1331322987"] "Real" games. ::) This is my 41st straight state tourney. Trust me, "real" basketball is played in all classifications. I think I have seen enough state championship basketball over the last 40 years to qualify my statement. [/quote]It doesn't count.  You're a football guy!  ;D ;)

[quote name="ST413" post="1195066" timestamp="1331322947"] There may be more talent in those games but it doesn't make it anymore real basketball.  Heck rhert may not even be as competetive as the other games.  I remember past conversations about pressing not being a part of the game at the college or pro levels so how then can a Yates game  be more 'real' basketball. [/quote]There are college teams that press.  I just want that to be known.
