I've seen talent make a average coach look good. And I am in no way saying Central coach is average. I think he's a good coach in his own way.

Supposely Yates coach already had his 6-2, 6-3 guards working on posting up against mi___s!! [/quote]that's funny you would say this. Saw an Ozen player blow by a 6'7" Yates' player about an hour ago in the gym. Dude some people are working and you just talking. [/quote] So are u saying Yates is not as good as advertised? For Yates to be a national power house, it's not good for them to have ozen players blowing by them. That should be a good sign for silsbee and hj. [/quote] Not sure if I'm answering your question but:*team first* was saying how Yates' 6'2" guards will post against Ozen's guards. I was just saying how funny he would say this, when only an hour earlier, one of those Ozen guards blew by one of their 6'7" players in their workouts. Now team wise, Yates is just too big and fast for HJ. Yates will match Silsbee's athleticism, speed, and quickness. But Yates will have a fresh five of potential starters to rest the starters AND their length will be too much for 3-A  to handle. It would be like a mid level university playing against high school kids. There are a couple of advantages for Silsbee......

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1275769" timestamp="1348054115"] Correction... It was Central that lost to Kingwood Park.  Also, I don't believe a single Central fan stated anything remotely close to making it to state.  I'll believe it when I see it.  Coaching is still suspect, IMO.  District title?  Heck yes we expect to compete for it or win it. [/quote]I'm not saying yall gonna win a State title but you should make it to Austin, if yall can get Kingwood Park or 1 other team.

I remember Donoho (sp?) and I think he had a cousin playing guard the next season. So did Donoho  move on after JUCO to another school? He was a good player.
