Please allow me to be the *grim reaper* for a moment. Whatever team wins district this season will probably face Jack Yates in the second round of playoffs.

See there. I knew there was a valid reason for HJ beating Kountze. I knew it!!!!

Those weak teams, as you described them, may be the born in 3a ball. That's pretty apparent since most of us agree that the cream of the crop in 3a ball consists of Silsbee and H-J.

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1354052" timestamp="1355343311"] Tooooooooo much guard play from Silsbee for Ned to hang. If Silsbee is allowed to play aggressive they will dominate the Dogs. Ned is in dire need of a good PG and ball handlers with none in sight. I say Silsbee by +15.  :o [/quote] I have to agree.

Interesting, when you compare Central vs Ozen's schedule, Ozen has played a tougher schedule and against more ranked teams.

[/quote]They earned it  ;)

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1354049" timestamp="1355342987"] You are so right BD3. The most difficult thing for the athlete and their parents is to realize and determine what level they are truly at. I'm not necessarily speaking about Mitchell - just in general. [/quote]Exactly, we're just speaking in general terms. Happens to a lot of kids every year.

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1354014" timestamp="1355338733"] Great point AAW. Lamar may be looking at him as a kicker for all we know.  ;D [/quote] Let us not forget; its all about a free education foremost. If I'm being offered a scholly (fulll ride) and I don't have a lot of offers, I'll be the waterboy. ;)

Again, I would think it depends on the [color=red]offers[/color] that are coming in for the student-athlete at this time. If you are a top recruit, then maybe you have the opportunity to pick and choose your school based on academics, then evaluate  if your athletic ability will allow you to play at a school of your choice & position.  On the reverse side, your options may be limited and those one or two offers on the table won't there too long.

[quote name="proudmom#32" post="1353914" timestamp="1355326261"] Yes Teams win championships,and trust me #32 understands "TEAM" ball. He is a player that will pass before he shoots if one of his teammates is open. He has been repremanded for passing too much.So with all of that being said ......Watch 32.....you can't find a kid who plays better team ball!!!! [/quote]I agree! I've seen the kid play several times and he is a team player. Tell Thomas not to allow the distraction to get into his head, nor change his game.  ;)  THEY will try.
