[quote name="HJ-Hawks25" post="749893" timestamp="1264539306"] I definitly do not mind with a team running up the score. There are ways for the team to prevent that in football and basketball. Theres no shot clock in highschool basketball...If a team is starting to beat you badly, hold the ball for as long as you want. In football if a team is beating the crap out of you...Then just run the ball and wait for the playclock to get to 1 each time before you snap it. I was apart of the 62-0 loss from WO-S a few years back and I completely dont blame them. It was demoralizing, but we should have played better. Now leaving the starters in the whole game is a different story; however, if you put in second/third stringers in and you're still beating the crap out of them, then thats the other team's fault for bad preparation and lack of focus.

The only thing worth betting on in this game is how long the starters will have to stay in the game, if HF plays anywhere nearly as poor as they played last week. [/quote]This is my first year watching the HF high school games. The earlier games I saw this year weren't against strong teams. I'd like to see how they play under the pressures of a good team. Maybe the best will show tonight. One never knows

You and I should be near common ground. On a serious *tip* I'm well aware of these coaches who are trying to befriend the players AND keep parents out of the loop. You and I could probably trade stories on whats going on with the *business* side.

[quote name="sal" post="749700" timestamp="1264523028"] how would you know what a different world beyond the GT is?  an occassional trip to Houston mak eyou an expert?  taking the power out of high schools and putting it in the hands of "wanna be" coaches is a big problem don't care where you from especially when those "wanna be coaches" are more worried about themsleves than the kids [/quote]oUCH! Kinda sensitive today huh?I'm not disagreeing with you. I said it was a business. And sir, I deal with it more than you know. If I'm not an expert, I'm becoming one. ;)

[quote name="sal" post="749682" timestamp="1264520172"] that "business" is ruining high school athletics [/quote]No it isn't. High school athletics is moving along just fine. In fact, it's gotten better because of the expanded exposure the athletes are getting now from the various basketball services. It's a different world beyond GT.
