Is this the same weekend for the Nederland Tourney? I hope not. CAUSE I want to see HF boys kick some tail in OF.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1001253" timestamp="1303446963"] But, being that he played varsity and they had a losing season, then Dove, you were a part of a losing program. Can't say "never". ;) You have already started with this past season. [/quote]By HF's standards that's a winning record for them. But your points would be valid if you were referring to good programs.

[quote name="team first" post="1001533" timestamp="1303522056"] LOVE      CAN       BUILD      A         BRIDGE......sorry couldnt resist.At least they got them Dewyville Pirates By 2......Thatll get em ready!!!!!!!! [/quote]Man, surely we can do better. Surely?

[/quote]I have NEVER been in a losing program. Don't expect to start now. Same haters will be jumping on the bandwagon soon. [/quote] So I take it that since your son plays for HF, that makes you "part" of the program. With that said, since your son played on the varsity last season and this was the result of that season: Hamshire-Fannett Longhorns (13-17, 3-7) :-[ :-[HC: Colby Richards Nov. 16 - @ Vidor (L, 53-40) Nov. 19 - Deweyville (W, 93-51) Nov. 23 - Tarkington (W, 75-56) Nov. 30 - @ LC-M (L, 60-48) Dec. 2-4  - @ Evadale Tournament vs. Kountze (L, 105-65) vs. Buna (W, 52-46) vs. Deweyville (W, 73-71) Dec. 7 - Buna (W, 61-49) Dec. 9-11 - @ Orangefield Tournament vs. Vidor (L, 56-15) vs. Sabine Pass (W, 81-34) vs. Orangefield (W, 42-40) vs. Vidor (L, 72-56) Dec. 14 - Vidor (L, 62-34) Dec. 27-29 - @ East Chambers Tournament vs. East Chambers (L, 68-47) vs. Tarkington (W, 65-56) vs. Little Cypress-Mauriceville (L, 57-36) vs. Hitchcock (W, 86-72) vs. East Chambers (L, 73-44) Jan. 4 - @ Evadale (W, 55-45) Jan. 11 - Sabine Pass (W, 90-37) Jan. 14 - Orangefield* (L, 66-58) Jan. 18 - @ Bridge City* (W, 66-52) Jan. 21 - Silsbee* (L, 64-57) Jan. 25 - West Orange-Stark* (L, 82-59) Jan. 28 - Hardin-Jefferson* (L, 83-51) Feb. 1 - @ Orangefield* (W, 50-45) Feb. 4 - Bridge City* (W, 64-52) Feb. 8 - @ Silsbee* (L, 86-48) Feb. 11 - @ West Orange-Stark* (L, 74-34) Feb. 15 - @ Hardin-Jefferson* (L, 70-52) Would you like to retract that "never" from your previous post? ;) [/quote]nope! Actually for HF, it was a decent season but could have been better. This is a team sport. My son had no major impact on the varsity season.

I'm not hard to please. Just try to win and NOT Give UP!

You're talking about wishing, not expectations.  Big difference!

Right, no pressure. ::) Won't happen and I am willing to bet that the two "chosen" ones will not even finish their schooling at HF. ;) [/quote]Are you kidding? When he makes the playoffs, he'll be deemed as a God! He's in a perfect situation. The program can't go any lower than what it is now. They did better this year and without a lot of effort 8)

[/quote] So your saying the "Choice" is theirs and they have options in where they play.   That's what I had heard.  However, I would have thought that mammagotjuice would have been happy now they they got the coach and work outs they wanted.  Blue already said, "There is no place like home" so I know he will want to stay on the yellow brick hardwood floor.    [/quote]I wonder why you had to go under a new moniker? We have no idea who coach Decello is. Never heard of him. But he sounds like a coach HF needs. And yes, the younger one is being recruited by schools outside of this area.  :-X ;)

Who is the "Half Man"  ;D  "Little" Big Dove, Bigger "Little" Dove, or "The Salesman's" Son  :D [/quote]I'm old school. I always thought the best player who is contributing to the team should play. People contribute in different ways. Some are spark plugs and may have less talent, but bring energy to the team when needed. If he's a good coach, he will try and work it out whats best for the team.

[/quote] Anthony Decello, girls basketball coach at Tyler Lee. Decello was the girls basketball coach at Kountze a few years ago. I believe this is his first high school boys team. He is a good basketball coach but if a certain freshman and soph. doesn't start on varsity next season, he will be thrown under the bus by "some". ;) :Decello is walking into a tough spot as the HF Longhorns are predicted to be the odds on favorites to win the state championship next season. ( that was my best stevenash ;D) [/quote]Tough spot? No he isn't. Stop fabricating stories about HF. Personally I like hard nosed coaches and don't mind the cursing.  [/quote]I haven't fabricated anything, spoken nothing but truth. What I meant by "tough spot" was that all the pressure is on Decello to win a state championship this coming season. If he doesn't, it will be a total failure since a state title for next season was predicted by the "chosen" folks at HF. [/quote]I don't think anyone has predicted a state title for this year. The prediction was to win district this upcoming season. That goal is attainable. In fact, every school's goal (or should be) is to win district, right? So where is the pressure? See, here has been the problem: There were NO expectations at HF. Season starts and you play. Season ends and thats it. Same old cycle. You would probably be surprised at the number of coaches who have spoken to me, and agreed ;)

[quote name="team first" post="999954" timestamp="1303267476"] Surely the doves are good enough that the parents can sit back and let the coaches make the decisions, while the talent speaks for itself. You learn that as a parent in the AAU meetings dont you? Again, with all this talk, where are these kids playing? The land of UOS, say it aint so. Maybe some of that summa team out of H-Town can move in and overcome................reality! [/quote]I seriously believe some people don't want to see HF succeed.  Hmmmm!

Along with a coach who will get the players to hustle their butts off or come off the floor and sit on the bench. [/quote] I heard little doves don't think they should ever roost on the bench.  Sounds like fowl trouble for the new guy and he ain't coached a game yet. [/quote]what player likes to ride the bench. But I hope the new coach don't play favorites and less talent like some others we know.
