[/quote]Contrary to some popular beliefs, I know this and I'm jealous of your program.

I can't remember ever attending a school basketball practice @ HF. It's never run across my mind to attend a practice. Thanks for the heads-up.

[quote name="ford15" post="872226" timestamp="1286816061"] Bluedove, should I transfer my kids from the H-J basketball program to the H-F program this year or wait till next year? ;D [/quote]LOL! Wait till next year. You never know whats going to happen in this topsy-tuvy world of ours  ;)

[/quote] Been saying this the past two years. But I do expect HJ still reach .500 [color=blue]THIS[/color] [color=goldenrod]YEAR[/color]  ;D

so you're saying WOS was trying in that game? they were trying plays they aren't sure would work with their personnel thats about it. if the competition isn't there then it just isn't there... hats off to HF for showing up, but i find it humorous that every year when WOS blows out the lesser teams in district and say "oh now they are back and ready to make it far in the playoffs!" you cant compare these type games. A. I'm saying WO-S was mentally focused against a weaker team. That can be hard especially when you already know you're better.   B. Plays? I don't think I mentioned plays. But after a 40 pt. lead and in the 4th qtr, I guess I would try some (new) plays in a real  game situation.   C. Why wouldn't HF show up? It's on our  district schedule.   D. I'm not saying WO-S is ready for a run into the playoffs, but the HF game did show me their mental focus was on a high level.

Since my kids attend a football school, can someone give a date when the official basketball practice date begins for high school?

Young qb salters looked great! And the defense was outstanding...i left after 3 and the horns didn't have any first downs, did they get one? And does anyone have the stats? [/quote] it's easy to be firing on all cylinders when the team you're against isn't on a level playing field. thats just how it is vs HF the past couple years. [/quote]I beg to differ. It's not as easy. In fact, its very hard to stay focused. A superior team can go out and "play soft" against weaker opponents and keep the weaker team in the game. Thereby giving the weaker team the audacity to think they can play on the same field as the superior team. It happens all the time in sports. It takes a lot of mental toughness to go out and pounce weaker teams. I give WO-S all the credit for remaining focused and keeping track on their goals.

[quote name="sleepy" post="872009" timestamp="1286801415"] This freshman group at HF is so good it couldn't even with the Little Dribblers National Championship that does not even include 1/10 of the teams in the state of texas.  Is this correct? [/quote]The freshman group?  95% of that team are still in middle school, not high school.

[quote name="mfd814" post="871967" timestamp="1286780046"] The are some pretty good freshman in the BISD schools this year. Had a good crop of them from various schools in Beaumont,  Alot went to WB and Central this year. Should be interesting.  [/quote]Yep, heard Central has a good group coming in this year. Seen a few and I must say, I saw some that can play the game.

The truth hurts sometimes.

Yep, that freshman group will be competitive. Hamshire Fannett and Silsbee will be battling it out for district and playoffs real soon. Then WO-S and HJ  ;D

Silsbee will be in the hunt.

HJ, enjoy yourselves for the remaining short period of time you have left. Time is running out before there will be some new blood in the hunt for district race.

It was like a corvette racing against a Kia

Actually I felt more sorry for the HF coaching staff. Really not too much they can do.
