I'm with ya'll on some points... i'm glad that the coach has done what he needed to do. Mr. Brown now can do one of two things... he can continue making the types of decisions that has gotten him in trouble so far, or he can learn from his mistakes and move on. The coach has given him a tremendous lesson. J'covan isn't getting a slap on the wrist this time. Hopefully a punch to the gut will help him realize that every action has a consequence. If he can understand that (and if he can get his grades up), i don't see any reason why he won't go on to the next level. His type of talent doesn't come along too often. If he can learn that no single man is greater than the team, he'll be a valuable asset for whatever basketball program he ends up at.

The L-train rides again! ;D

what's happening to LCM?

i definitely didn't see this one being this close... a good effort by nederland, but ozen keeps on marching on.

is HJ silsbee's next game? i don't have a schedule... if so, and if they get a bunch of players suspended, things don't look good for silsbee.

i'm not sure what's more shocking; that he somehow spends over 24 grand on gas a month, or that he only spends around 12 grand a month on food.

wow, a couple of crazy results tonight... i know there are no points for moral victories, but that's a really nice effort by the panthers.

wow, nice result for LCM... congrats guys! i'm sure Nederland will have something to say about this one when ya'll meet again.

is it safe to say that HJ's past whatever issues they had in the game against WOS?

so if and when he fails, and ends up back at dad's tractor supply store, do we still get 4% of his earnings there?

your son is a better kid than i was... if my mom had told me i was too sick to play, i would've laughed at her. good news for him that he'll get to play anyway.

what do you know about temple? it seems like they handled a pretty good kelly team without much trouble...

depends on the classification... in this situation, i don't who i'd take, but in a generalization, i'd take the big man in the 1A, 2A, 3A, but in 4A or 5A i'll take the guard.

wait, you can ball, right?

i saw him on ESPN last night but had it muted, so i wasn't sure what was up... this is a nice story.

my heart just bleeds for shaq...

as for my player and coach, i've decided to go with dick vitale as a player/coach. ;D ;D ;D

school size is a big issue... if you only have 60 boys in the whole school to chose from, as opposed to 1600, obviously you're not going to have as many big men... another thing that probably plays a factor is that anyone who is tall and dominant in basketball is going to transfer to a bigger school. you get basically no recognition in 1A basketball, even if you're amazing. if you're tall, you have to move up in classification and compete against other quality big men so that you can get your name out to colleges.

big win, even if it wasn't a good win. 3-1 in conference isn't bad! it seems like the cards are starting to hit their stride a little bit.

well, as an excuse for the "nerds" from rice, rice hasn't had a good team in ages. as for houston, they're really coming around as a team, but 30 bucks to attend the game is a bit steep.

The Hawk Hecklers! They're almost as valuable to the success of the team as the players and coaching staff... with fans like that, you're always playing 6 on 5 basketball.

when did central dominate ozen? when they only had freshmen and sophomores? i'm not trying start anything, that's a legitimate question... i don't remember central ever owning ozen.

aTm should still find a way to get into the big dance...

It's really still too early for this, but i'm going to go ahead and say lumberton/nederland go 1st/2nd, but i won't predict the order. as for third, LCM, PNG, Vidor, and Central are all in for a dogfight, although one of these teams will probably establish themself as the front runner, and i think either vidor or LCM will drop off sometime in the 2nd half of district.

I would've been devestated if i wasn't able to play my senior year of high school. as for that commitment, I'm sure that we're not the only people who have heard about this incident. in college the whole program's success is not going to be decided by whether or not he plays, and that's something that he better learn quick. If he keeps up the antics and the attitude, he'll be off the team so quick his head will be spinning, although he could probably always come back to lamar...
