True Blue, all of your posts on this subject matter have obviously pointed out that you think #33(your son) should always be on the floor. You have made that quite clear. Don't crawfish and say you just want them to win, regardless of who is on the floor. All of your posts regarding EC basketball has had an agenda attached to it. We know what that agenda is, don't we. ;) ::)

[quote name="Kelly Basketball" post="742531" timestamp="1263274582"] Silsbee by 20 [/quote] This coming from someone who just played both Silsbee and WOS in the last week. ;) ;D Kelly Basketball should know.

I think Sisbee wins this game but it should be a great one to watch. [/quote] Nope. West Brook beat WOS by 10. Silsbee by 15+. [/quote] But they did lose to them earlier right, I say Silsbee by 14.5 ;) [/quote] No Poppa. WOS has only played West Brook once. I think you are getting them confused with Ozen. WOS beat Ozen by 11 but then lost to Ozen the next week by 18. Silsbee beat Ozen by 20 (should have been 30)

[quote name="newschool" post="742492" timestamp="1263268377"] Actually Coach Andrews has been with the team for years now, especially when EC made trips to the Regional Tournament for four consecutive years in a row. The only difference was is that he was with the team as the assistant. Hargraves was a good coach but Coach Andrews would have done the exact same if not better had he been the head coach at the time. So I would think it's safe to say that Coach Andrews is well qualified to be coaching the team and knows the team and what combinations of players will put the team in the best position to win the game, especially at the end of the game when it is on the line. [b]What this sounds like to me is an angry parent his kid isn't getting to play as much as they thought they would JMO.[/b] [/quote] This last sentence in this post sums it all up. I have watched East Chambers in many games over the last few years, including several this year. The coaching staff is doing what is best for the team, always have, always will. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what sour grapes are. ;)

[quote name="Bobcat05" post="742450" timestamp="1263264658"] WOS by 4  ;) [/quote] Stick to girls sports. ;)

[quote name="bleed orange" post="742430" timestamp="1263262593"] AAW, I think you need to say you are sorry because in reality you are the one that is clueless about volleyball and you know it. Just like I am. Except for the paint drying thing. ;D ;D [/quote] Wrong Bleed. I have won many beach volleyball titles in my lifetime. My childhood heroes were Sinjin Smith and Karch Kiraly. But if an apology is needed, I am willing to accept one from Rizon and excoach. ;D

Don't rush me Bleed, I'm still thinking. ;D I've got till tomorrow at 7pm to finish it.

On my worst day, Blue, on my worst day. ;) Of course, you don't see me being on a school board to assure that my son starts on his 7th grade team. ;) Oh I forgot, it's your vast knowledge of youth basketball and urban background that gets your son his starting position, not your school board position. ::)

Silsbee  47 HJ

What about defense? Could these #2 and #3 scorers possibly be a liability on defense? ;)

I know enough about the game. ;) I have learned plenty over the years. I have had some great teachers.

They have yet to lose a game, from last year to this year. [/quote] If the Silsbee 8th grade is as good as you say, that will help carry on the basketball excellence in Silsbee.  However, judging from the performance of the 9th grade team last year, the 8th graders of this year will be sorely needed. [/quote] Last year's 9th grade team wasn't too good but they have seemed to improve as a JV team this year. They will be seniors when this current 8th grade team will be sophomores. This year's 9th grade team is not much better but I think they have enough to support the grade behind them. Now the 7th grade class behind this current 8th grade team will have to improve greatly.

PAIN!!!!!

Silsbee by 15+.

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 name="HoopInsider_Cooper" post="742302" timestamp="1263244306"] [font=Courier]AAW beat me to it....I usually start putting a 3 by each school in every class once district starts. What's crazy is that some of these teams in this poll struggle in the playoffs and some make it to austin and aren't ranked. [/font] [/quote] Chad, I didn't mean to steal your thunder. Just was looking at this week's poll and couldn't help but notice how Region III dominated the top 10. I agree with your last statement. When Silsbee made to Austin a couple of years ago, they didn't enter the poll till the regional tourney.

Please nash, let's not ever bring that goofball up in conversation ever again.

[quote name="shackbully" post="742195" timestamp="1263234807"] Both teams started district with wins. [b]Any Predictions[/b]? [/quote] Yep.

I thought I would break down the 3A top 25 poll by regions Here is the poll: Class 3A 1. Dallas Madison 2. [b]Cleveland[/b] 3. CC West Oso 4. [b]Hardin-Jefferson[/b] 5. Lubbock Estacado 6. Kennedale 7. [b]Lorena[/b] 8. [b]Silsbee[/b] 9. Liberty Hill 10. [b]Bryan Rudder[/b] 11. Somerset 12. Paris 13. Crandall 14. Burkburnett 15. Sweeny 16. [b]La Vega[/b] 17. WF Hirschi 18. Argyle 19. [b]Mexia[/b] 20. Stafford 21. Seminole 22. SA Houston 23. Prosper 24. [b]Navasota[/b] 25. Ferris Teams in bold are Region III teams Top 25 by Regions Region I      5 teams (Lubbock Estecado, Liberty Hill, Burkburnett, WF Hirschi, Seminole) Region II      7 teams (Dallas Madison, Kennedale, Paris, Crandall, Argyle, Prosper, Ferris) Region III    8 teams (Cleveland, HJ, Lorena, Silsbee, Bryan Rudder, LaVega, Mexia, Navasota) Region IV    5 teams (CC West Oso, Somerset, Sweeny, Stafford, SA Houston) Top 10 by regions Region I    2 teams (Lubbock Estecado, Liberty Hill) Region II    2 teams ( Dallas Madison, Kennedale) Region III  5 teams (Cleveland, HJ, Lorena, Silsbee, Bryan Rudder) Region IV  1 team  ( CC West Oso) Obviously Region III is the toughest with 5 teams in the top 10. Curious to see after district play how the poll looks then.
