Looks like no clear outright winner for their district

[quote name="bacbone9" post="920095" timestamp="1290882275"] Trey is BETTER shooter than his dad was. Trey will be fine and as for Brandon. He's a well rounded athlete.He might will be better than Trey in the long run. [/quote]I can agree with you

Sounds good. I'm going to take a look at this kid sometime this season. Liek I said,Silsbee have some good players and I'll make note to pay close attention to Stallworth.

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="919829" timestamp="1290840373"] Good win for the Jags.  I do know that we will need to go ahead and put these teams away and quit letting them hang around...  Kris Smith did it on the offensive and defensive end...Need to work on silly fouls and stay in the game...I look for great senior leadership from Allen, Heard, and Frugia as the season goes on.  Also if there is a fast break, we have players that are asking for the lob pass that can rock the rim.  Look for these easy oportunities (also to get the crowd on their feet). [/quote]What size are your big men?

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="919281" timestamp="1290805991"] I havnt seen him play yet this year, Buc.  I have seen the kid during football season.  Seems like he's put on a little more muscle and have gotten a little bit taller... I will see the game today... [/quote]Is that the Smith kid from Austin Middle?

Yep,better enjoy it now.

So Westbrook is good this year? I thought Central was suppose to be the team in Bmt. this season.

[/quote] Yeah your right 37-17 sounds like a fair foul count in an extremely physical game on both sides of the ball. HA HA not a big deal though. Just stating facts. I already stated that you guys had a good group of kids. [/quote]The game was too physical and the refs should have taken control earlier. I saw some deliberate fouls on both sides, but many of the fouls were just what I call hacking and stumbling over the feet fouls.

Whats the glory in beating them?   :P [/quote] Not Playing For Glory Just getting a lot of young player ready to win ;D ;D ;D ;D [/quote]Dang, even a small school like Chester realize playing the youngsters will get them ready in the future. Glad to hear coaches still coach this way. Oh I get it, he doesn't have any upperclassmen?

I usually let MGJ ( :D) stick up for her sons but I think I will step in this time ;) The kid plays at least 92% of the game. Leads the team in scoring and assists.Gets his teammates involved. He understands the point guard position. He encourages his teammates. He plays against some of the top players in the nation on one of the top AAU teams in the nation. To see him play against the caliber of competition I've seen so far is very disturbing to me. Because his daddy has taught them (he has siblings) to play against older and better players, who will better challenge them to get better. He's NOT learning anything or being challenged playing 9th grade here. He's doing things against other kids thats too easy for him. And no, I don't think my son is a star because he has a lot to learn and develop better skills. And sir, being around sports all my life, I can tell you that being a coach does not mean you have the intricate knowledge of basketball and judging talent. Talent is like laying out the facts  its there for you to see for yourself. No boasting sir just the facts.

[/quote]Definitely coaches decide for their teams whats best ;)

[quote name="mffl" post="918086" timestamp="1290620459"] After 4 games in 5 days, I bet they are ready to be home. I'll take the 3-2, we wouldn't have played like this last year. [/quote]There you go  :D  :D Always a bright star with LU

I use to wonder if Souljah was female :D

I was told Central would have the team this year in Beaumont. :D

[quote name="setxbbfan" post="918640" timestamp="1290700224"] I can agree, but being around sports for many years has shown me that coach bashers usually bash because their son is not getting what they want.  When baby gets his, all the sudden the coach is making good decisions.  Just an observation.  Listen..people off the street call in radio shows and question the likes of Mack Brown..so go figure. I am sure the kid can play.  No commentary on him.  Just thought it was funny that the critic agreed with the coach when his/her son got to play.  And she may be right..just interesting. [/quote][color=red]huh? She was giving the coach PROPS for letting one of his JV guards play varsity the other night[/color]. The coach is going to have to settle his pg position before the season is out. At least I see some movement towards that issue.

[/quote] i'll agree with that statement but the fact remains that the officials let the varsity game get way out of hand, and the result was 2 players ended up injured because of OVERLY physical play. alot of knit picky stuff called with huge fouls ignored, on both sides of the ball. it's not the kids fault, they will play as rough as they're let to, boys will be boys but that game should have been reeled in long before all that racket. the officiating didn't change the overall outcome in my view except that one player ended up with stitches and another with a shoulder injury (both no calls btw). that just shouldn't happen because officials won't blow the whistle when they need to. hf looked good enough without all that and tarkington should have just concentrated on fundamentals. good hustle on both sides, it just should have been cleaner. hope yall have a great year. [/quote]I do agree with you. It was getting out of hand. I was sitting there comparing the game to a Keytone Cops movie. I give latitude to refs who let the kids play, but I saw pushing and shoving on both sides. Crazy and wild fouls that you see younger kids do.

Silently for the night and whispers among friends ll in the city limits of Nederland, only.

How deep is LAMarque? That might play into the equation.

My reputation and pride is on the line now. LoLLoL

Only seen him play twice over at the Gamble Classic at PA Memorial, but you can tell this kid can play [/quote]And you know whats weird? As good as he is, he didn't get a lot of playing time with the Houston Hoops this past summer. Shows how competitive it is out there. [/quote] Really? What kind of AAU coach is gonna keep a kid that is #76 on 2011 ESPN recruiting class on the bench? [/quote]A coach that has three other guards in the top 10 ;D ;D [/quote] Well then he needs to go somewhere where he can play alot of minutes because I dont see how this kid can sit on the bench. A REAL top 5 player in the state of Texas [/quote]I agree with you. He did find another summer team. ;)

Using missing or injured players is a readily excuse. ;) [/quote] You are absolutely right.  A loss is a loss.  Last time I checked, though, the number of total wins vs the total losses  in relation to ones peers is the important factor. Perceptions are not always correct.  I might ask some of you experts our there just how the perception of the Miami Heat compares to the reality of the Miami Heat at 8-6? Are some offended that I brought up history regarding the last time Nederland beat HJ?  Thats fine.  I have no problem with that.  I find it interesting that there are many who deem history as irrelevant UNTIL the time that history helps to make their point- at which time history suddenly becomes one of the most important factors.  The fact that some schools have a "negative history" does not mean that the "positive history" of other schools is not relevant.  I watched the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics last week.  Would anyone care to make a substantial wager on which team will go further this season?
