[quote name="BmtTopFlight2017" post="1279832" timestamp="1348417331"] North Shore looks like their going to be pretty solid this year. OZEN needs a lil work but I'm sure they'll polish that up before the season starts, Silsbee was Silsbee lol, nothings changed they play EXTRA HARD every possession. Absent we're Central,HJ, and West brook,guess that real basketball thing was true :D. [/quote]  North Shore should win their district. Motley kid is a beast this year. I didn't see Silsbee play. Ozen played a strong Elsik team. Good teaching lesson for the babies. Central is so stacked and talented, they can afford to stay home and not play.

But will be interesting to see how the chemistry works this season  :-X [/quote] Give it up Dove-  While HJ may not always be high on the list in terms of athletecism, the "chemistry" is a major contributor to the good that the program has achieved. The staff is quite competent at managing chemistry.  You are trying to create a "chemistry" issue via rumor and it won't happen.  The issue you would like to discuss involved people who did not have a "chemistry" issue last year so why would they have one this year?  Your contention has no more validity than one that would address chemistry between the little Doves. [/quote] I have a favorite saying......."nothing stays a secret on the chitlin circuit. "

Pretty sure Haynes is a freshman, not sure about Hardaway. [/quote] I Know Haynes and Hardeway personally and Haynes is a Sophmore and Hardeway Is a Junior [/quote] You are correct. I was thinking about Trey Grubbs, he is a freshman. [/quote] And I thought you were an expert in local sports? ;D

Nash, I don't know the player. I'm not sure if he starts this year. Which makes it even more reason yalll won't win your region. Just think, a guy of his abilities (not dunking) may be a part-time starter. I am not impressed by dunks, but at 5'9" ,I'm willing to give him some props and a trip to Austin. ;D ;D ;D

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1277516" timestamp="1348244414"] ahhh. all the bigs now wanta play point forward.....shoot the 3 and cross over finding a big like, Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Howard, Ewing, Barkley (though not a big by height, but played like a big man) Kareem, etc.......  few and far between.  almost a dying breed. [/quote] YES!!! They all want to play point forward and stay out from under the goal- too rough I guess. ;D

[quote name="5gallonbucket" post="1277474" timestamp="1348241546"] golden triangle area.......      i don't know the houston area or its teams that well [/quote] No problem, I was just making a point about how large the Houston area is and limited dominant bigs in Metro Houston.

Strange, but Houston area does not have many dominate post players who have developed. Some have the height but poor footwork and low skill set. Now the Dallas area is a little different.

Yates' senior guard...It's over, crown the State Champs in [size=14pt][color=red]3-A [/color][/size] ;D [Hidden Content]

I agree! But he's out for medical reasons. Probably wont never get another major D-1 coaching job. Maybe some of his recruits from last year will decide to stay now. Chris Walker deserves a shot now.

I might also add that it appears the 1% wants to move the HJ/Silsbee venue to attract more [s]customers[/s]..err fans.

I don't see Chris as much since the kids have gotten older, but he is a very good player and deserves some recognition in S.E.Texas.
