[quote name="RedBird5" post="716224" timestamp="1258997057"] From what I've seen HF middle school teams (Football, Basketball, Track) are always good. In High School Im not sure what happens?? They start farming or what???                                                                                 RedBird5 [/quote] I agree with your assessment 100%. HF's middle schoolers do good. Like all middle schoolers, some grow faster and bigger than others. I see a lot of us (parents) fall into this trap where their kid is this super stud at a young age because he is bigger or quicker than the other kids and they expect the trend to continue. I see it all the time.  Then you have late-bloomers who mature. The 9th grade is where you begin to see the differences. Some progress and some just remain the same. A lot of it has to do with your work ethic and mental attitude. And hard work doesn't mean you're putting in the proper work. I could sit here and write you a book on the subject. From my own personal assessment/opinion about HF basketball, it is a skilled sport and you have to respect the game, or it won't respect you.

Didn't EC have some good runs when Tremain was there?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="716180" timestamp="1258993699"] It is my understanding that H. Yates intentionally ran the score up because of some comments made by the Sam Houston coach prior to this game. The Yates coach was asked how many points he was going to win this game and he siad, "As many as I can". [/quote]Sometimes a coach just gotta be quiet and humble.

Here is the scenario, yall can disagree or agree but it is the reality.  I think I may have mentioned this before but with Dante playing varsity and getting in quality minutes falls right into place when the current middle schoolers all hit the high school level. Dante will be the player with the most experience and leadership abilities to help the younger players begin a winning tradition at HF. It's a process and in a few years HF will have a strong team with a minmum of seven deep good players and strong role players. By It's all about the timing, the right pieces fitting together, and complimenting one another. This is about preparation and being ready when it all hits. We can all enjoy this ride. ;)

All positions will be strong. Enjoy it now.

[quote name="RedBird5" post="713919" timestamp="1258778241"] HF is playing some good teams!!  :) [/quote] I'm really not familiar with the small school programs in S.E.Texas other than HJ , Silsbee, and Kountze. I like to judge teams by how they play against the big boys. I'm just not familiar with Deweyville's program. I certainly hope we knock the panties off when we meet HJ.
