BLUEDOVE3

Dove could make a call and get my coach. Recruit some of HF's 9th graders mixed with a few 8th graders and one 7th grader. Too much speed on that team. P.A. could not handle it.

Dove don't lie. Scooter it actually happened at Edison as I explained.

[/quote] Everyone but the coach and Bluedove will return for moral support and a few guest appearances on the radio. [/quote] :D, Look, wE'RE the Rodney Dangerfield of high school basketball. Somebody gotta pump HF up. Plus I'm having a lot of fun with you naysayers. Warning! A bunch of yall better pray HF don't go into playoffs. You think I promote HF now? oH BOY! I'll start my own radio show and demand time on the major telly stations in S.E.Texas and maybe S.W. Louisiana ;D

[/quote]thats what HF would claim after their whooping by a bunch of 13 and 14 year olds  :D [/quote]Okay, I remember a certain time in 2010, the HF Senior Little Dribblers met the P.A. 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 ;)

Does'nt matter if they have a few good players or not! There will be no development, no skills worked on, no chemistry aroused............Univ. Off Season...in 4 yrs you guys will be saying" if it wasn't for that there ole UOSeason we woulve taken third in that darned ole 3a district...We then will be talking about how good those kids were in middle school. Kinda like when those daddies talk about their little joey and how good he was in pee wee-league all-stars! those young kids are'nt good enough right now. Sorry but their not. Yearly progress has to be made for kids to really develop.I know, i know, AAu summa time hoopin. Where all that sophisticated offense and team defense is taught, right along w that finger pointing and look at me and my new sneakers. Ona more serious note, I hope H.F. gets a solid BASKETBALL COACH and HE, gets a chance to build a program on his own terms. Love to see kids that have a passion for the game get an opprotunity to reach their full potential. It's a great thing to witness! Good Luck! [/quote] Thanks for reminding me that my kids have not received their extra pair of new sneakers this month ;) Team, you raise some good points. I have this conversation all the time about kids developing from year to year. In the good old days, you could see if a kid was progressing after 3 months of summer development. You can't take this game for granted because there are kids coming up behind you who will better and some already in classes above you.

[quote name="dawg13" post="984715" timestamp="1300421412"] No offense to the said coach,but at HF we are trying to move foward not backwards with an old coach leave the past in the past. [/quote]And the Longhorns have spoken!!!!

I was agreeing with your stating that Gus' efforts didn't always show up in the stats. [/quote]Exactly!

[/quote] 90% of teams in D1 are stepping stones so that's nothing unique to Lamar.  The key is making Lamar a program that keeps attracting the up and coming coaches.  That's what they had in the 80's so now they have to rebuild back up to that. [/quote]80'S? Do you realize how long ago that was? Different times and different rules.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="984257" timestamp="1300372833"] His name is Colton Weisbrod. Also a good baseball player. Or so his dad tells me ;D [/quote]Oh okay thats him because the coach could not pronounce his last name.

And there lies the problem, if a coach thinks LU is a stepping stone, can you imagine what the recruits are thinking.

[quote name="speechless" post="984307" timestamp="1300377713"] there's your answer dove...BCG to HF... [/quote]hmmm!

We have history. I helped Billy's career back in the day. He's alright.

Wait till the recruits see Dupont behind the Montagne Center :(

oh

[quote name="stevenash" post="982949" timestamp="1300204188"] Hmmm- I guess that means he might possibly admire Clarence Thomas and Condoleeza Rice more than Al Sharpton? [/quote] :D You are correct in your analysis. He brought up M. Steele the other day for a very quick second.

[quote name="speechless" post="984228" timestamp="1300370895"] Grayson was named TABC All-Region Shawn was named TABC All Region and All-State [/quote]Grayson is the pg? If so, he deserves it. He made that team go.

[quote name="stevenash" post="984215" timestamp="1300370024"] I would like to re-phrase that question slightly.  Will Hamshire Fannett win a state basketball championship before Silsbee does? [/quote]  :-X

YEP! A very long-g-g time ;D

NO!

[/quote] Thats a dang good idea!!! I believe a former HF BB coach from the early 2000's got his administration certification. [/quote]But, does this former coach have a winning track record?
