I’ll argue to a degree: I don’t think the 7 year argument has no merit, but I think it can only apply to certain schools. For schools like Newton, WOS, Allen, Carthage, and the many other that have an endless supply of talent and a community that is bought in, then yes, a coach should succeed, or at least come dang close quickly and somewhat regularly. There are other schools that for various reasons will never reach that level of consistent success. IMO, Matthews was a great coach for vidor. The level of success he brought them was a tremendous jump from his predecessors, but he never had the players to sniff a state championship. And unless Surratt brought kids from Carthage with him, he’s not winning championships either. Would he do better than Matthews? Yeah, I’m sure he would. but he’s not winning a state championship there unless some magical group of players comes through, or the best players from other nearby schools start coming to play for him like happens in east Texas. He took over a Carthage program that was already pretty good, with a lot of talent, and put them over the top. But he’s not going to take over a school without a lot of athletes and suddenly have the D1 players that you need to compete.

I hate they lost beard, but they’ve done well since he’s left. I’m all for them keeping the interim. The question will be if he’ll be able to recruit like beard did, because he’s doing a great job coaching the transfers and recruits that beard brought in.

UT lost to #4 Tennessee last weekend, but this week beat #10 baylor and #7 KSU. Their next game is at #8 Kansas. They then get three unranked teams before finishing up their regular season with four straight matchups against top-15 teams. The big 12 is insane this year.

The lumberton/bc game is a play-in game most likely, although BC still has WOS, and Lumberton still has Vidor, and either of those matchups could throw a wrench in someone’s plans. Despite their records, WOS and Vidor have played both teams close. BC also has a chance to take a game off of either LCM or Jasper still, which they’ve shown they can do.

Yes sir

HJ won 67-43

Can’t find it

They have a freshman named Beavers who’s pretty big and talented, and is getting a lot of meaningful minutes. Started out the year on the freshman or jv and has worked his way into the varsity rotation. I used to work with his mom so I’ve been keeping up with him. He’s going to be a player for them over the next three years I believe.

Tied at 55 in the 4th

I’ve gotten to watch them a couple of times of NFHS, and like how scrappy they play

Summer Creek 54 CEK 47

Cardiac cards strike again! Massive win for BC!

Keep on rolling

Believe that’s Sutherland’s 900th win

Last update was 45-39 with 6 min to go

Maxpreps is acting weird tonight. Trying to get it to reload and get the final

BC was down as many as 12 in the 3rd, but fought back and cut it to 4 at 43-39 going into the 4th. Time to see if the cardiac kids can strike again

According to maxpreps, vidor is up 28-21 at the half

Currently 40-20

Jasper misses a dunk on one end that would’ve cut it to 13, Silsbee gets it and makes two passes and dunks on the other end, then steals the inbound and scores again to go up 19.

Yup, they’re flying up and down the court

33-16 with 3:00 left in the half

I comment on a wide variety of games, game threads, etc. and the only prediction I’ve made about BC in several weeks was that they would improve upon their first performance against Silsbee.

My buddy got me the stat line from the GCM/PNG game. PNG may not be as good as people were thinking. That game ended 0-0, but GCM outshot them something like 27-0 and had almost 70% possession.
