[quote name="bc55fan" post="744386" timestamp="1263582683"] I assume both of you are adults. And you listen and base your opinions on the biased views of someone else??? That makes no sense. ESPECIALLY if you are "covering" a tourney.... :-\ [/quote] I covered last year's tourney for the first time, from start to finish. The info I recieved from others was on the years prior. But, I only needed what I witnessed myself last year. Last year's tourney was definetly one-sided. 13 total teams, 5 in the upper bracket, 8 in the lower. Six of the top seven teams in that tourney were in the lower bracket. Barbers Hill was in the upper bracket and they got the only bye in the tourney. Upper bracket teams: BH LCM Spring Dekaney Goose Creek Memorial Coldspring Lower Bracket Cleveland Silsbee Baytown Sterling Dayton Nederland Clear Creek Montgomery CE King Cleveland had to play Sterling, Silsbee and Nederland to get to the finals where as Barbers Hill had to play LCM and GC Memorial. BH beat LCM at the buzzer and then defeated GC Memorial by 17, a team that lost to Nederland later in the tourney by 32!! Baytown Sterling lost in overtime to Cleveland in the first round and went on to win the consolation. Nederland won 3rd place. It was so obviously tilted to favor that it's a wonder you guys get any teams to participate. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that. All it took was the first day of me looking at that bracket last year to come to this conclusion. Then folks started telling me while I was there that this is how it is all the time and it's why the tourney is a shell of itself now compared to what it used to be years ago.
