[/quote]Maybe its "who " he got pregnant. 8)

So glad I do not have a kid in high school anymore.  ;D ;D [/quote] Actually, from what I was told, it was the administration bowing down to the parents that got it changed to how it is this season.  ;) [/quote]And its go to be true because Aggie said it.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="977326" timestamp="1299249142"] Prudhomme will be the top guy in the area next year but watch out for Kelton Gaines and Chris Elam. Those 2 will form a strong back court out in Silsbee. [/quote]Tell Chris Elam we might lock him down next year and to be careful who he ask for on the court ;D

[quote name="FanintheStands" post="977171" timestamp="1299211689"] So, let me get this straight. The football coach "leads" the Longhorns to an 0-10 season (or were they just winless in district?), while the basketball coach's team has a respectable year - the first respectable year in a LONG time...... and its the basketball coach that gets let go?!?!?!?!?! [/quote] Many might call it a respectable year. I don't. This team was much better than I expected and I think others will agree. Pre district Wins over Deweyville, Buna, Evadale, Sabine Pass, Tarkington, Orangefield, etc. Expect the best and the results will show. Nederland basketball is a perfect example. English has a passion for the game. Look what his passion for the game has brought to Nederland. Results and school pride in basketball.

HF will have its share of bigs

First, congrats to HJ. I wish Coach Sutherland and the team all the best at regionals. Like it was stated, it's hard not to pull for those kids. I have to give my thoughts on the game last night. It was a compelling game and for the most part hard fought. These two teams are shadows of one another in many ways, but like in years past, the "management" of the teams was the deciding factor once again. The officiating was suspect at times but it always will be. That is just the human element. You can't be right all the time. Coach Sutherland can take decent talent with dedication and turn them into bonafied basketball players. Pruhomme has been talked up all year on this site and he is pretty good not great. His greatest talent is he just plays harder than most. What I'm trying to say is, he gets the most out of what he's got. The best player on that team is Gus. He makes every teamate better and able perform while he does the dirty work. The rest of the team will feel his absence next season big time. I hate to see this type of ending for the Indian seniors. My heart goes out to them, a large portion of their failures were not their fault. I will leave it at that. We have plenty of talent in waiting, our freshman class is legit. Cleveland will be back and maybe better than ever. Great season Indians! We love you guys. Agian, good luck to the Hawks. [/quote] I have to respond here.  I would say that if you score 33 pts in a playoff game against an athletic and highly ranked team like Cleveland, you are, in fact, great.  Countless times, Mr. Prudhomme also got rebounds, put backs, and a rather large rejection against a substantially larger opponent who was hailed as unstoppable and the difference maker. [/quote]I knew you of all people would get hung up on that. I paid him a compliment. He had a great game. He's not a great player, yet. I will wait to see how his game is without Gus and then decide. [/quote]Gus does make them a good team. :-X :-X

[quote name="CoachKfan" post="976481" timestamp="1299171581"] The job Todd, Clay and Jeff do is amazing!!  Best coaching staff in the state of Texas (IMO)!!  I've seen how hard these guys work.  They also have great support from the administration and community.  Congratulations to all the guys as well.  Shaun has really stepped up and assumed that leadership role.  Enough can't be said about the "warrior" Persohn is!!!! Everyone on that team had a huge contribution.  They understand their role....one of the many reasons they are headed back to Huntsville for the FIFTH year in a row!!!  Way to go Hawks!   [/quote]I'm fast becoming a Hawk fan. You are making a non-believer out of a believer. In fact, I didn't want to predict any wins for HJ because I didn't want to jinx you guys. See, it's all love now.

Therefore, if HJ can beat Cleveland, it should be easier for me to explain (again) who and what 3-A district schools my kids play against. GO HJ! :) [/quote]If you haven't been able to explain it to them yet, then I doubt that would change: 1) HJ has eliminated the higher ranked Indians the last 2 years. 2) 21-3A has provided 9 of the last 10 regional finalists and the last 5 state representatives from region 3. So, if they don't understand yet..........   ::) [/quote]I guess your answer  a good example of who actually remember championship runs.
