whsalum

I'm surprised the UIL has let the Prep schools in the playoffs.You never know from year to year what they will have because they play by a different set of rules than the public schools.This year they have been awful next year they could recruit the world,you just never know.

Where's it gonna be played?????

This may be a Co-MVP year.Both clubs would struggle without Shannon or Jarvis and they wound up as co-champs.I don't know how you could give one the nod over the other.I agree about Turner,he has to be the defensive MVP.Trying to sneak past him is like trying to sneak daylight past a rooster,it ain't happening. ;)

It's addictive.I've been the ultimate gym rat for the past 50+ years ;D ;D

Janet and Mike are both great coaches.That probably made her decision a lot less painful.

Are they playing at Sam Houston or Huntsville High School?I don't know anything about Bremond except they are in the top 20.I think they finished in a 3 way tie in the district with Normangee.If so they will probably be pretty solid.I was impressed with Normagee's depth the other night for a 1-a school.There aren't any bad clubs still playing now,Good Luck Pirates.

I'm watching way to many games : :

Yes,my bad I had a senior moment ;D ;D ;D

Yes, she will be staying at HJ to teach.She will still be a fixture at all the games I'm sure.She is crazy about the community and the kids over there.I think she is just ready to step back and relax a bit.

Dugat from Dayton plays for the Horned Frogs.I watchem them the other night and he starts for them.Very solid player.

The bench at HJ was full of quality coaches.I know she told me repeatedly she had the best staff in the world.

After a stellar career that spanned 30 seasons I've heard Coach Sims is stepping down as head coach at HJ.I've had the privilege of watching her throughout her career as a high school player,college standout and as a coach.I will miss the pre game scouting reports and the excitement of the post game calls.While I don't have her career stats on hand I know her clubs at HJ won 20 or more games a season for 12 of her seasons at the helm.She has been a true ambassador for the girls game in SETX.To borrow a line from Lonesome Dove"It's been a helluva ride".I'll miss seeing ya in the box Sis.

I think it had ALOT to do with him not playing at this time.There was an offer from SFA on the table at the end of the season.I think he would be playing now had he accepted that offer.I know he played almost his entire senior season on a bad knee.I watched him at the state tournament,where he refused to let his club lose.I hope he signs and plays at the D-1 level,the kid has a ton of talent.

Thanks for setting him straight KHSAlum400.I didn't say there was anything racially wrong with either town.I said the law enforcement people directed the opposing fans out a different exit,which they did.Thats unique I think because I've never seen it any where else and I've been in just about every gym in the state at one time or another.FYI The fans from West Hardin are good folks,they support their kids just like everyone else.

I'll be yelling for Kountze but I think NW will be a little to tough for the Lions.NW should handle the pressure the Lions apply and that will hurt Kountze on the offensive end.NW wins by 8. NW-72 Kountze-64

Congrats to Coach West and the Panthers on a great season.I knew it wouldn't be long before he turned things around down there.I know they are disappointed but they have nothing to hang their heads about.Good job guys.

I have had the opportunity to go to EC and New Waverly following basketball teams for years.EC has had very good clubs the past several years and were always good host when you went there to play.They support their kids,as they should,but were always gracious host.New Waverly also always had good clubs but we usually were directed out seperate doors by the law enforcement folks.It's a shame but it's a different world when comparing those 2 communities.That being said I think NW represents region 3 in Austin this year.

Ryan was a good kid and a great player.I don't know anything about his academics but Rice is a tough place to get in to.I know SFA was ready to sign him out of high school but he got some incredibly bad advice from some AAU folks.I don't think he ever played at Navarro, I hope he gets things worked out,he definitely had the skill to play college ball.

If Chase and Daniel decide the tempo Spurger could very well win it.The few times I've seen Thorndale over the past couple of seasons they never let the other club control the pace.They are usually very basketball smart which allows them to stay in games where they shouldn't be close.I haven't seen them this year so my observations are from the past 2 years.

I wish the Pirates the best.I wish they were playing a little closer than Willis.I will probably stop at Caney Creek and check out the Hawks and Navasota.

For the most part I had theses picks pegged.I didn't get the chance to see Hampshire so I couldn't comment on them.The rest of the picks fell out like I figured they would.Congrats to the young ladies on their seasons.

It may not be the same club that we've seen at the state tournament but they will be very well coached.The kids will have bought in to the system and will be very disciplined.There won't be a double digit win in this game.Thorndale always controls the tempo which could lead to a 56-50 type game.If thats the case it will come down to possessions and free throws so its a toss up.

You guys just need to get in a GOOD summer league and play as team.Take about 10 players and challenge each other to work on their weakness.#23 and #3 should be in a daily battle to make each other better.#3 has some potential but could be called for carrying the ball on every possession,the sky is the limit for #23 if he puts the time in the gym.People feed off his upbeat style of play(he even gets the crowd in to it).One of the keys for SP next year will be #21,he has a good shot but needs to be more involved throughout the game.The times that I saw SP this year he would hit some big shots and then disappear for a stretch.The only other observation I had last night is the fans while supporting the kids need to leave the coaching to the young man on the bench.Its great to be vocal and support the team but trying to tell the kids what to on each possession probably ended in Lil Dribblers.Overall I was pretty impressed with the Sharks this season,they were better than I thought they would be.Congrats on a very good year.

They need to find a spot for #23,he picks the game up a notch when he hits the floor.

Normangee 57 SP 50 Nomangee was just to deep for the Sharks.The Sharks came out alittle flat but made a good ballgame out of it late.Normangee hit free shots late to seal it.Congrats Sharks on a good season.
