[quote name="PA4Life" post="1095552" timestamp="1319685304"] The James Gamble Tournament will again have some exciting teams in it this year.  Hee is a list of the teams paticcipaing in the tounament. 1.  PA Memorial 2.  Ft. Bend Hightower 3.  Beaumont Central 4.  Beaumont West Brook 5.  Beaumont Ozen 6.  Houston Furr 7.  Houston Kashmere 8.  Houston Wheatley 9.  Aldine Eisenhower They might get one more team added before then,  If not this is still a vey good tournament. [/quote]My Wheatley just isn't Wheatley anymore. Over half of those kids are not from the neighborhood, so they will do good in this tourney IF they get a true big. jury still out on Hightower.

Maceo Smith (kinda DISD) 2010 - Madison 2009 - Madison 2006 - Roosevelt They may not have always won when they've got there, but they've made it. [/quote] There has been an inference that the metro 3-a schools would dominate 3-a basketball and to this point, there is no documentation for same. [/quote]The teams that are stacking up with the elite AAU players WILL dominate.

Don't want him picking up bad shooting habits on here ;)

The Rebels will return three starters from last years State Runner Up team in shooting guard, Devon Murphy; small forward, Shawn Totten and point guard, Brandon Bruce. The Rebels lost the big senior class in numbers and height, but a couple of other players from last years team can be looked on to fill those wholes. Post, Kyle Taylor got plenty of playing time last season and playoff experience as well. Bradien Burford also was brought up from the JV by coach Laurence Williams so there are five players (four of those are seniors) who bring plenty of experience and knowledge of the system into this season. There are some talented players that will make the move up from the JV squad too! [/quote] Will The Rebels Win There Dist. ;D ;D ;D ;D [/quote] I think it will be a 3 team race this yr between Hull, BS, and the Rebs. The Rebs will be trying to replace 3 all dist big guys and learing to play a different style of ball. I look of them to strugel in predist. just like in football, but by the time dist. rolls around they should be playing good ball. The key to this yr, as in all yrs, is to limit the turnovers, and get their shooting guard open looks. They are going to be smaller than they have been in 3 yrs, so they will have to relia on speed and good shooting. [/quote]Evadale will be playing for 3rd this year after the loss of the 3 bigs last year all the look will be on #3 and every team will play a box and one on him and he want put up anywhere close to the numbers he put up last year this year.... its going to be hard to replace the 3 bigs, so there are going to be some other players step up and be able to draw a double team other than #3 to get him some looks [/quote] I lliked true blue better than water boy21 [/quote]At least True Blue would be in denial and say something positive about Evadale, even if their waterboy was in the starting line up.

And everything is still moving along as planned. ;)

[quote name="Ruckdad" post="1093766" timestamp="1319555383"] Have been to all but one of the home football games.  I made it to a basketball game last year and a handful of baseball games as well.  It's a good thing to take the oldest boy - who is 5 - to.  Plus we both enjoy the drive over from Humble. [/quote]I bet you guys take the back way thru Dayton 290. Nice scenic drive and a lot of history in that area.

[quote name="Gasilla" post="1093003" timestamp="1319482909"] [quote author=LongHornPride link=topic=89786.msg1082420#msg1082420 date=1318625692] I have to agree, King is by far the most athletic kid on the field week in and week out. He can score at any moment of the game, esp. when we gets into space, kinda like that punt return. But not to take anything from how good he is, that group of kids is by far one of the best teams I have seen in a very long time. He gets alot of help from a big offensive line, some already weighing over 200#, and some really good players in the other skill positions. The defense on this team is no push-over either, with a huge D-line and a secondary that doesnt give up any big plays. The weakest point on defense is the line backers and that seems to get better each week. These boys play as a team and compliments each other. I think with the move to 2A next year with a return of a great rivalry between HF and EC, you will see alot of good football in the next few years!!!!! [/quote] HF turned in 533. Not going to get you into 2A... [/quote] 531 official count

Hmmm? Do I detect some trash talking between Silsbee  & HJ as to who will DOMINATE this season and take their team to regionals, while the other stay home to whine?

[quote name="speechless" post="1092766" timestamp="1319467133"] SOC got in trouble for grade scandals and ineligible players.  The grade scandals were the initial trouble and it snowballed from there. Cedar Hill filmed Dallas Kimball picking up a kid in their district one year and driving the kid to Kimball each day.  It doesn't take a lot to prove it. [/quote]But these kids LIVE in the district ;) C'mon fellas & your next comment

[quote name="speechless" post="1092748" timestamp="1319465794"] DEC is only the first level.  Doesn't take a whole lot to get UIL involved.  Ask South Oak Cliff.  There ain't the "good ol' boy system" in the small schools like there is in the inner city big schools. It will be interesting to see what happens though....especially considering that the following schools turned in these numbers last realignment: Yates:  1209 Wheatley:  1101 Those schools will have to lose more than 100 kids to be 3A based on the old numbers Also....plenty have heard of Lamar Consolidated....they were very good last year [/quote] If memory serves me right and I must admit it blinks at times, SOC got in trouble for grade scandals, didn't they?..different from transfers. Huh? Lamar Consolidated's record last season was horrible. You may have heard of the school but not a basketball power.
