[quote name="PA4Life" post="1282858" timestamp="1348708094"] PA Memorial has had a few D1 Mid to High Major come to there open gym recently.  Lamar, McNeese, Texas A & M, SFA. Thats just this week.  Actually inquired about a few of the players, not just our big sophmore. [/quote] These are the positive side-effects. The other kids have an opportunity to be seen. There are 'sleepers" out there.

Silsbee looks like they are going after all the competition in the area.

The coaches are hitting this area this week. They've been in Houston area for the last 2 weeks. Thats good for the boys in the area.

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1282631" timestamp="1348687050"] A D-1 school from a state contiguous(juxtaposed for the "less enlightened") to Texas was in Sour Lake today to evaluate a couple of players.  Dove, wasnt it you who said that coaches from outside of Beaumont dont come to this area to look at basketball players? [/quote]If my memory serves me, I was asking if any schools outside the area had visited any local schools.

[/quote] My guess is that an amount like that will be more than offset by larger attendance. [/quote] So I see HJ was entitled to certain privileges ;D Entitlement: belief that one is deserving of or entitled to certain privileges

Especially for anyone that had to leave work early or not go to work at all just to have the opportunity to watch their team play. It drove me crazy not making it to the game in Silsbee last year. Although I was thankful that I could listen to the game, I would have much rather have been inside watching it. I made sure to be at HJ to get in line at 3:00. [/quote] Very good point.  This should alleviate that problem and nobody needs to get there any earlier than they would for any other district game.  From my perspective, it looks like a decision that was made in full consideration of the fans. [/quote]I agree. Full consideration for all Americans

[quote name="freeze 1914" post="1282447" timestamp="1348675068"] Remember the name Alexis Morris. Next best girl's player to come out of the Golden Triangle. She is a 8th grader at Odom Academy. [/quote] LOL! I don't usually endorse so-called players on here because I expect a lot if I endorse someone. Let me say this to seal the deal. She is a baller. The best female player I've seen in this area. She played with the Houston Hoops older girls and she was the best thing out there. GOMAB!

[/quote]Ahhh! So, which "Class" is paying for this event? [/quote] Hmmm- let me see- Since this is sponsored by two schools who operate at the expense of the taxpayer, I would have to believe that all classes are probably involved.  I would also venture to guess that this event will likely pay for itself in terms of revenues from the gate vs expenses for holding the games at Ford Park.  Am always gratified to see someone from the left be concerned about expenses.  That is very much a rarity.  Or maybe the real concern is that someone other than the rich might have to participate in the costs? [/quote] My next question is: How much /many entitlements are being given towards this event?

[quote name="Stevenash" post="1281847" timestamp="1348599688"] One more question about those two powerhouse Silsbee teams, Santa.  How did they do in the playoffs? [/quote]Ohhh! Sounds like you're saying they folded under playoff pressure. Would you also be saying the current Silsbee team remind you of the 96-97 team?

Nash, you treat Silsbee like our current administration, NO R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!  Do you even remember the qualities of the Silsbee team? Speed, athleticism, IQ, ETC. All the ingredients to take out HJ this year in district. THEN!!!!  you know you gotta face [color=red]JACK [/color] [color=yellow]YATES[/color]

[/quote] But the senior led them out of the crib. District games will be tougher. Central knows  or will know their opponents.  ;)

Now on to the facts. Because that's what I deal in. While the kids coming out of King MS were good the best one actually went to Ozen and it wasn't Nigel. I'll let that sit on your brain cells for a minute. I watched King play all last year and Nigel is a wonderful kid,but he is not varsity ready nor is anybody off that team. Ozen did end up getting Josh Boyd. Now some of you will say he didn't play yeah I know but he was the BEST PLAYER at King PERIOD. The kid will end up being at least 6'5 or 6'6 when it's all said and done. And he plays defense like no other and score at will. He doesn't get the hype that Nigel gets because he didn't play a lot of summer ball but if Central puts those kids on varsity they'll be sitting ducks trust me. [/quote] Nigel and Boyd played on the same summer aau team *team sneed. From my understanding Nigel gets more hype locally and nationally, both are great players but Boyd will be the sitting duck at central playing behind the doves, jakobi jones, alex williams, and d.sam [/quote] I  gotta give Alex "Duck" Williams his props from this past weekend. The kid came out and lead the defensive charge against a top Elsik team out of Houston. Elsik has a couple of true D-1 prospects and had about 3-4 kids who could shoot the darn thing. Duck led the defensive pressure and the other 'babies" took their cues from the senior. Ozen is quick now, but imagine how much Jakobi will add to the team when football is over. [/quote] Are you implying a walk to the district title for the Panthers? [/quote]Their babies! Too young! Central has all the height, skill, athletes, etc. Central is the team to beat in this area.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1280495" timestamp="1348494307"] When is the last time HJ missed the playoffs? [/quote]I think I can assume correctly that making the playoffs for HJ is given & expected. A minimum of a regional appearance is expected.
