[/quote]LOL! I love you man-nn!!! I still want to see your program meet up with one of them. Would be interesting. Yall got a pretty good butt't coach over there. [/quote] And why do you want to see a small school playing by the rules play against a large school who is unable/unwilling to field a team under the same guidelines?  I guess this is where I say I would like to see Yates go up against Lamar. ( and before you come back with some cute comment that it would be a contest we both know that is a joke) Furthermore, so much time and effort has been made to discredit Hj basketball, I really dont understand why anyone ever wants to talk about them.  I never see many conversations about Bridge City basketball or Kirbyville basketball or Deweyville basketball, etc etc etc.  Since HJ,(by virtue of the discrediting process) has been lumped into that arena, why does anyone care if they are capable of winning anything on that weak schedule? [/quote] I think ( and mind you this is only an opinion) Silbee's schedule in the past looked to compete against the so-called tougher teams. The perception is that they seek out real competition. HJ's scheduling perception is that they seek out the High Island type of tourneys. But again, this is all just perception from just a *few* members on the forum from what I can tell. But Nash, like you say in so many ways; its not how you start but how you finish ;)

[/quote] Wow- I thought that Silsbee has already built a very solid program. [/quote] Hmmm! So, now you're thinking Silsbee's program isn't as solid as some thought and will take time to rebuild. Unlike HJ, whose program is solid and ready to compete for district champs.

[quote name="86hawk" post="1290310" timestamp="1349368795"] If they were to recruit, is there enough of a talent pool in the Golden Triangle to compete with the likes of Yates?  I no longer live in the GT and just follow the scores and posts on this site. [/quote] Its possible. S.E.Texas could start their own prep school and recruit a couple of kids from Orange, Hardin, Jefferson, &  :-\ counties.

[quote name="ST413" post="1290283" timestamp="1349365334"] I have to agree with Dove, top be considered on the national level like Yates you have to recruit like Yates! [/quote] I didn't say Yates recruited  ;D

Man among boys..lol....One of my favorite memories  was when we had a tourney and Broaddus was paired with a Houston school. I was sittting close to the Houston school and could hear them laughing about playing a little 1A school...They were going to bust the clock on them.....their mood soon turned somber after the game started...lol.....Dove, you would have agreed that it was real basketball... ;D [/quote]  Yep, real basketball back then.  Snook comes to mind too.

Wasn't Lamar in the Sun BELT  a few years ago with basketball. LU could not hang with Sun Belt

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1287096" timestamp="1349005267"] We can't run because someone wants to showcase Mitchell, probably for future endeavors.  We can't run because we're not under center.  we can't run because we run an option play that havnt worked in 3 years, but we run it in key district games.  Truth told, Jacobi Jones killed us on big play after big play.  We had tools to answer, but, well, that's another story.  I don't really have much to say except this is the weaker part of our season, we're we can probably get a few wins (probably).  Lumberton you say?  It'll be a struggle.  We can't coach ourselves out of a wet paper bag. On the bright side, Centrals band and halftime show made it halfway an entertaining experience. [/quote]Central band is good. In fact, I recommend leaving the football team at home and bring the band :)

I think Central is a very good team with plenty of talent. Just goes to show you talent alone doesn't win you games.

Don't even bother showing up to the Central field house on Monday and leave town immediately. You've turned the Central football program into a complete and utter joke. the players have quit, you bicker on the sidelines, and you constantly make up excuses instead of blaming your incompetence. You tell the media, don't blame the coaches, blame the players. You've screwed a 3 year starting QB out of a full college ride to Texas A&M because you've squandered his talents. You've been on the Central staff since 1986 and obviously learned nothing. You let____ ____ call the plays, someone that obviously knows NOTHING about football and obviously NO comon sense either. I will be In attendance on your 'last day' to make sure I give you and your goons a proper good bye wave. . Smh Just freakin pathetic to watch.  The good thing is a person that will be able to make a positive change to Central football was in attendance.  I hope he saw what all of us saw.  And with that said, I'm out [/quote]wait, A&M pulled the offer?  :o [/quote]Sometimes you gotta sign if you've been offered.
