So where in the heck is Hamshire Fannett playing in a tournament? Please don't say Sabine Pass again.

There comes a time when the winter asks what you were doing all summer. ??? ??? ???

[quote name="Abe Lincoln" post="703510" timestamp="1257876856"] so what you are saying is that our football players should stay in football year round?  [/quote]Actually let the footballers do their thing (weights, etc) and keep the basketball players working in the gym working on skill sets.

" Schools would be much  better off and experience more success in general  if even the faculty participated in Universal Off Season". [/quote]Nah, I'm on to you Stevie. I know your true stance and what right and wrong about this problem.

It definitely pains me to agree but I'm man enough to let you know .......okay this is enough pain :'(

[/quote]If you have a couple of middle school players scoring against their high school players in full court games, then I suggest HF stay out of the big  tourneys for right now :o HF should began to compete in these tourneys beginning 2011. Again, when you combine several of the 9th thru 11th graders, you will see a good but very young inexperienced team.

As much as I hate to agree with Steve Nash, he is actually making a good point here. You should have have football workouts for basketball players during the bb season.

Football is over!!! It's basketball season gents.If anything, basketball should take a priority because of the skill level it takes to play the game.

C'mon, surely you didn't think HJ would leave their comfort zone in S.E.Texas? Please

[quote name="CoachBrown" post="698655" timestamp="1257511762"] Congrats to Jasper's 8th Grade A team and Coach Jerry Willoughby on winning district last night by beating Center 40-0. They were undefeated district champs and were unscored on in district. This is the first time in Coach Willoughby's 35 years at Jasper that he has had a team shutout everyone in district. [/quote]I heard a guy tell just last night that he several kids in the stands telling the Jasper players to "play good daddy." Okay, It's a joke Japer fans.  ;D  But that 8th grade team is a monster. In middle school you recognize that some athletes will be left behind once they enter high school. But there are some truly gifted athletes that you know can step to the next level and I think this 8th grade group definitely can go to the next level if they keep working on their game.
