Texas lost-again.  :D

Hopefully a coach with passion for the game AND his players. Players who will follow their coach through hell if need be. Hmm?

My guess is that if they keep getting in the right position, it's going to happen one day. [/quote]True. Very true.

[quote name="bullets13" post="985957" timestamp="1300639435"] if they have Joseph, Hamilton, Brown, and Thomas come back, plus a recruiting class including a PG grading out at 98, two shooting guards grading out at 95 and 94, and a power forward grading out at 95, i like their chances.

Seniors (in 8th & 9Th grade now) at Edison  Middle. HF walked in the gym and you could tell the P.A. players had this look like they wanted to laugh at the chumps walking in the gym. To make a long story short, P.A. decided to start a running clock in the second half to hurry up and get the game over because HF would have fouled out all their "top" players and won the game.  HF was wearing that butt out *ouch!* In other words, HF could beat PA's 9th graders with our group of 8th and  9 th graders with a certain coach I know from HF ;) [/quote] :D please stick to the facts dove. i dont remember that, i do know we beat that tail pretty bad and you started talking bout your kids aau team would come down and whip us. its simple want some.... come get some. but yall have never beat us  ;) [/quote]Oh-hh okay! It's like that huh? Your top players were fouling like crazy. 2nd half, yall decided to start a running clock because HF would have fouled out your players. And no, P.A. didn't beat us bad. That running clock helped yall in the 2nd half, coach. In fact, you were at the table now that I'm thinking about it. ;)
