The top 3 still meet up in the playoffs.After HJ,Silsbee,WOS and Jasper the district is pretty weak.Those 4 consistantly put good teams on the floor.I think you will see the emphasis on Jasper go back to football with the new AD.I think 21 aaa and 24aa will be 3 team races.The toughest overall will be 22aaaa.Ozen,Dayton and Central are established Ned,PNG,LCM and Lumberton are all improving with good coaches in place.They will beat each other up some next year and make for an interesting race.

I think he is Jarvis cousin.Not a pure shooter but will be extremely quick on the defensive end and handles the ball well from the PG spot.Liberty wasn't real strong but he was the best player they had.He will be able to spell Weldon some when he needs a rest and scoring wont be a problem with Jarvis,Trey and Jon Michael.Add Payne and Sungren in the mix and I'm telling ya HJ is gonna be fine.They will win this district followed by Silsbee and WOS AND Jasper.

I will agree with Marsh being solid.There best guard graduated ,think his name was Emieillo or something like that,No disrespect to the Hornets but if there depending on there JV players there in trouble.Several teams in this district will be improved but I'm not sure Hardin will be one of them.

What in the world did all this nonsense have to do with Larry Tidwell being named head coach at Lamar?????????? We need to start a new thread for all this other stuff.Lil Dribblers and Jr.High Geez cmon folks we're talking about a college coach for crying out loud.

And Jon Michael Fontenot and Jarvis Bernard and a PG from Liberty and Payne and Weldon and Sungren.They will be different but VERY good again.

I'm kinda surprised the opportunity was there.Carthage is normally a 3-a power and Coach Morgan hasn't exactly had a powerhouse at Hardin.I don't know anything about the numbers at Hardin but it seemed there programs were down this year in football,basketball and baseball.ECbucfan was right about his discipline though we were always treated well when we went over there.Good luck to Coach Morgan and to Hardin in there search for a new AD.

No disrespect to the kid from EC but the best catcher I've seen in this district is a senior from Hardin.I think his name is Emirillo Z(won't even attempt to spell his last name)kid has more heart than anyone I've watched in years.

NO, Coaches have to able to upgrade their jobs each year if they are successful.A lot of good coaches start out in the small school ranks and win then move up the ladder.We as fans can't hold it against a coach who makes the playoffs and the moves up while the resume looks good.It's just the nature of the game,enjoy the good ones while you got em.

That pretty well wipes out any playoff hopes.Not what this club was looking for,at least they played it close.Saw on another thread where the wind was at 50 and raining.Why in the world would you be playing in that??????????????

Warren led big in the first meeting before unraveling in the 7th.With Swinney due to start they will be in the hunt.I like the Warriors chances in this one.Warriors tighten the race 8-6.

I have watched a ton of Lamar games over the last several years and I honestly don't know why Ryan would want to go to Lamar.He definitely has the talent to play there but I don't see it as a real good fit for him.Evidently there is someone interested enough already to make the young man an offer,sometimes a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.Good luck Ryan with whatever uniform you wear when you come to the Montagne.

I have to respectfully disagree.The topic was best returning players(plural)in 22-4a.With each team listed.I am not from Lumberton and the last game I saw them play I officiated.I do know talent when I see it and if I had to build a team in Lumberton it would definitely have Ward on it.You would be amazed at what can happen when you get a hard working bunch of kids,a good coach and a couple of skilled players.I have seen Ward play on tournament teams with some really good players and he holds his own.

It's not a waste of his time if it improves his game.He is a junior and will definitely help the Lumberton team.If only college bound kids played in the off season there would be a lot of 1 on 1 games.The teams you see in the regular season that are successful all have lots of kids who play some sort of organized ball in the off season.Ward plays pretty well and is the type of hard worker that will help turn a program around.You gotta start somewhere and Coach Henry will definitely use Ward to get Lumberton started in the right direction.They are however in a brutal district.

Marsh is a solid player.Not sure how he made defensive player of the year though offense was his strength.Hardin looked to have lost a lot of kids to graduation.

He was on the all district team ,so someone thought he was in the top 20.I watched him play last year and watched him play 4 games in Chad Coopers tourney last weekend.The kid passes the ball well and hustles every second he is on the floor.The tournament team he is on includes Jarvis Bernard,Josh Payne and Ryan Weldon from HJ.Marcus Malbrough from WB,Stephen Moten and Derek Savoy from Ozen and Paul Sims from Warren.Not any scrubs in the group.Give him a break he may help turn your Raiders around.

Aaron is gonna be a real good ballplayer,but he's only a freshman.Give him a little time to develop before you put that kind of pressure on him.There are some really solid players in SETEXAS this year.Riley from Woodville would be on that list as well as Reese Winters.These are 2 small school guys that can play.

Evidently you know less about basketball than you do manners and I thought that was impossible.Johnathan Ward is a very solid basketball player,he is the kind of kid who works extremely hard and will make the kids around him better.The new coach down there will turn them around and Ward will be one of the guys to start it.

Isn't Kountze in last place in this district?Not sure what the standings are,but I thought EC was in 3rd.

I know Jake and Brock were both making very good players going in to high school,I hope they get a chance to play on a good team.They are both good kids.

He plays school ball for Lumberton,I was commenting on the no talent what so ever statement.He plays tournament ball for the slam,he's pretty solid and was an all district pick this year.

IndianPride evidently you have never seen Ward play.I got a chance to watch Nederlands entry in Coopers tourney last weekend and Ward was better than anyone they had on the floor.Not downing Nederland but your comment was uncalled for.Ward was solid this year and is the most unselfish player I have seen in years.Thats a lost art these days.

Warren will lose Kirkpatrick,Rawls,Babino and West all have started most of the games I've seen this year.They will be pretty solid though because their young guys are getting a lot of playing time.

What in the world has happened to the Chester atheletic program?I know they have some pretty good atheletes in this age group.

Tramain will be the top no doubt,McBee will make some big plays also for Warren

Travis McBee was a junior,he will be a lot faster than Granger was but will have to develop throwing the ball since the position is fairly new to him.He is a super athelete and will do a great job at QB.If you think Travis Swanson just stands around you will be in for a shock,kid is very big but is also quick and a extremely strong kid.The biggest challenge for Warren will be to see if Morris can fill Esway's shoes,everything else will be about what it what this year.
